Simultaneous Voice and Data Calls

DESCRIPTION	The Simultaneous Voice and Data feature allows you to set up a connection
	between your own computer terminal and a local or remote host computer.
	You can continue to place or receive calls without interrupting your data call
	to the computer.
	For information about using digital data with the MERLIN II system, see the
	Data Communications Guide for the MERLIN II System.

CONSIDERATIONS

ADMINISTRATION

●In order to use this feature, you must have a General Purpose Adapter and a modem connected to your analog voice terminal.

●In order for a voice terminal to use this feature, the system administrator must assign the voice terminal two consecutive station jacks on the control unit. This requires special wiring. (See “Installation” in the MERLIN II

System Installation and Administration Manual. )

●The system administrator can assign either the Voice Terminal To Busy Voice Terminal feature or the Simultaneous Voice and Data feature to a voice terminal. Since both features require two consecutive station jacks, a voice terminal cannot have both features. (See “Voice Announcement To Busy Voice Terminal. ” )

●The administrator should assign the voice/data station pair to an odd- numbered analog station jack and the next higher (even) numbered analog station jack. The intercom number of the voice terminal connected to these jacks is the same as the odd-numbered intercom station jack.

●You cannot use your Hands-Free Unit when the Simultaneous Voice and Data feature has been administered.

To allow someone to conduct voice and data calls at the same time, enter administration mode and follow the appropriate procedure below.
