2. Record the information on the appropriate data form (2a or 2b) for each
data station and for each modem and ISDN terminal adapter used to
communicate with a local host computer or with a workstation on a LAN:
a. In the Logical ID space, write the logical ID for each extension.
b. In the Extension No. space, write the extension number for each
extension.
c. In the Person or Location space, write the name of the person or the
location of the data equipment.
d. Under the Data Station Use heading, indicate the purpose of the
data station by checking one of the following boxes: Individual use,
Local host computer, or LAN workstation.
Assigning Line Buttons in Hybrid/PBX Mode 5
The line buttons you can assign to data stations are as follows:
■ System Access Ring (SA Ring). Used to make and receive inside and
outside data calls. To make outside calls, the user selects an outside
line/trunk by dialing either the code for Automatic Route Selection (ARS) or
the dial-out code for the trunk pool. Users at ISDN terminal adapter data
stations and video endpoints can also dial the line/trunk number (801-880)
to select an outside line/trunk.
■ Personal Line. Used to make and receive outside data calls from a data
station on a specific outside line/trunk. A personal line is an outside
line/trunk assigned to a line button on one or more data or voice stations.
The outside line/trunk cannot be a member of a pool.
To dedicate an outside line/trunk for data calls and have the calls
automatically answered by data equipment, do not assign the same
outside line/trunk to both data equipment and telephones because
modems answer voice calls as data calls.
On analog voice-and modem data stations, a personal line can be used to
receive incoming calls. A personal line can be used for outgoing calls by
selecting the line button on the analog multiline telephone, dialing, and
then activating the modem connected through a GPA.
On ISDN terminal adapter data stations, a personal line can be used to
make and receive outside data calls. To select the line/trunk for an outgoing
call, the caller dials the line/trunk number (801–880). To allow the user at
an ISDN terminal adapter data station access to the digital network for
making and receiving calls to outside digital data stations, assign PRI,
NI-1 BRI, or T1 Switched 56 (including T1-Tie lines using Switched 56
service) facilities as personal lines.
■ Pool. Used when you want the voice and data station to make and receive
outside data calls on a specific trunk pool (for example, a pool with PRI
facilities) without dialing a dial-out code. The Pool button is used to make
and receive only outside calls. Automatic Line Selection should be set to
the Pool button in order to place calls on it.
