Terminal Dialing provides the user with fast access to data communications via

keyboard dialing at a terminal or PC.

Command Mode provides a menu of data services supporting terminal dialing, and

display and

control

of user data port

options. A user friendly Change Options menu

is provided

for user

administration of

data options.

Expert Mode is an enhancement that provides an alternative method of accessing

Command Mode functions. Expert Mode eliminates the display of menus and allows multiple commands to be entered on a single line. Expert mode lends itself well to computer-driven scripts for call setup.

Communication Access Manager (CAM) is an MS-DOS* software application that provides a phone manager for placing voice and data calls for the user and VT100†

terminal emulation. CAM may be used on either STARLAN NETWORK client workstations or on PCs connected to System 25. CAM has a 200-entry directory with one-touch dialing for both voice and data calls and auto-login capability for data calls to host computers. CAM’s Remote Access feature provides password protected unattended access to PC files and electronic mail. File transfer is supported with the popular XMODEM protocol.

STARLAN NETWORK ACCESS is an MS-DOS application that allows PCs not connected to the STARLAN NETWORK to call through the System 25 STARLAN NETWORK Interface and run STARLAN NETWORK client software to access file and printer servers on the STARLAN NETWORK. ACCESS uses a PC’s serial communications port to communicate with the STARLAN NETWORK Interface. ACCESS is compatible with NETBIOS, permitting execution of most applications written for the IBM‡ PC Network and IBM Token Ring Network.

Growth & Rearrangement

Historical data indicates that clients in the System 25 station range have a need for communications systems capable of significant growth and rearrangement. Clients need flexibility over the life of the system to easily add capacity, move stations, modify cost control options, etc. The architecture of System 25 was implemented with the objective of meeting this need.

Advanced Administration (optional) is an easy-to-use, menu driven personal computer

software package for configuring the rich set of system options.

Uniform Wiring Plan (four-pair) allows a building to be prewired for the rich set of AT&T Small Business PBX service offerings. This modular wiring plan supports client reconfiguration of an office with variations in station type (Analog, MET, MERLIN, futures) and data configurations (LAN, asynchronous, synchronous). It supports

simultaneous voice and data from standard four-pair modular jacks.

System 25/75/85V2 Standard Architecture supports efficient growth with modular

cabinets, universal carrier slots, non-blocking network and uniform wiring plan. (See
