German term or phrase: Amtskopf
This is a heading in a study guide for a telecommunications system:

"Unteranlage ohne eigenen Amtskopf (Sattelitsystem)

Es wird in der ersten Richtung, die nicht verwendet ist, ein "Pseudo-Amt" mit Ländervorwahl, Ortsnetzkennzahl, und Anlagenrufnummer eingerichtet. Die Werte für Ländervorwahl, Ortsnetzkennzahl, und Anlagenrufnummer sind mit den Einträgen in der Hauptanlage in der Regel identisch."

A previous PROZ entry calls it "central office number". Would that apply here, too?

Please google for:
Kopfamt + "gateway exchange"

I wonder if Kopfamt and Amtskopf mean the same?
