A Word of Welcome

The Eumex 704PC LAN is an ISDN communications system enabling you to connect up to four analogue devices to a basic ISDN connection.

In addition the Eumex 704PC LAN has an Ethernet 10BaseT network with four ports. One of the Ethernet ports is used to make direct connections to T-DSL, while the remaining three can be used to connect PCs.

A PC connected via the separate USB port is integrated in the network. Furthermore, you can also connect additional PCs via Ethernet hubs (known as "cascading").

The built-in router enables all of the connected PCs to use an active Internet connec- tion simultaneously (time-sharing procedure). To connect to the Internet you merely have to start a Web browser. Automatic monitoring disconnects you from the Internet after a certain configurable time, e.g. three minutes, has elapsed without any data traffic flowing.

Two completely separate external calls (e.g. a telephone call and a data application) can take place simultaneously on the two B-channels of an ISDN line.

In this way you can, for example, make telephone calls while other PCs are surfing in the Internet. If your access to the Internet is via T-DSL, you can even surf while both ISDN B-channels are busy with telephone calls.

The Eumex 704PC LAN complies with the statutory regulations for telecommunica- tions equipment. You are permitted to mount and install it yourself.

The Eumex 704PC LAN should only be operated on an ISDN multi-terminal connec- tion. It complies with the DSS 1 protocol. The Eumex 704PC LAN is not designed for use on dedicated ISDN connections (system connection).

You can operate analogue devices with either dual tone multi-frequency (DTMF) dialling and a flash function or with pulse dialling on the Eumex 704PC LAN.

A caller’s telephone number will only be displayed on telephones supporting this fea- ture.

Please note: You require telephones with DTMF dialling and a flash function in order to be able to use the full range of Eumex 704PC LAN features. Telephones with pulse dialling support neither the flash function (e.g. for enquiry calls) nor the star and hash keys for the control of features.
