Argent Terminal Adaptor - User Guide

1 INTRODUCTION

This document is provided as a guide describing the procedures for installation, usage and maintenance of Telstra’s Argent Terminal Adaptor (ATA).

It is highly recommended that a Telstra qualified technician install this product. However, if you choose to install the ATA yourself, you will need knowledge of the operation of Telstra’s Argent service and be familiar with the installation process of digital terminal adaptors.

The ATA can be used as a normal Terminal Adaptor (TA) or modem, plus it has ports for an Analogue phone connection (also called POTS -–Plain Old Telephone System). This user guide describes these services which do not require a specialised knowledge for installation. An understanding of PC and modem configuration will be an advantage.

Most operating systems such as Microsoft Windows, Unix and Linux are able to connect to the Serial (V.24) port of the ATA like a modem. Braintree Communications developed the ATA for Telstra’s Argent network. The ATA continues to improve and the latest user guide and installation software can be downloaded from Braintree’s Internet Address at www.braintree.com.au.

2 SCOPE

The instructions in this document should be followed when installing the Argent Terminal Adaptor.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

1)You must ensure that OnRamp®2 D-Channel service has been installed, tested and is operational prior to attempting Argent TA installation.

2)The ATA can share the S-bus of the OnRamp® 2 D-channel with other devices, but only if they are configurable for point-to-multipoint operation.

3)Warranty will be void if the ATA is proved to have been incorrectly installed.

3DESCRIPTION 3.1 Application

The ATA is an ISDN terminal adaptor that provides a network access for EFTPOS terminals to communicate with the Financial Host Service Providers via Telstra OnRamp® 2 D-Channel and Argent services.

It also provides data access for connection to an Internet Service provider (ISP) and asynchronous data transfer using V.120. The POTS port allows an analogue phone that would exist on the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) to use the ISDN. The ATA enables the POTS telephone to be able to take advantage of Telstra supplementary services like Call Waiting, Call Forward, and others.
