Connecting To The IP Phone Network From a Remote Office
After registering the IP phone at the central site, use the following procedure to connect to the IP phone network from a remote office.
Warning: On remote phones connected to the AastraLink Pro 160, the following emergency
related message displays: “E911 calls are not available from this phone.” Remote IP phone users should not make emergency calls using the AastraLink Pro 160, because the location information will be incorrect. E911 regulations in the United States require street address location information be transmitted to the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP). This information is provided by the telco, using the location of the analogue line connected to the AastraLink Pro 160 Lifeline port (FXO Line 1).
