Introduction The connections between the Proxy Agent and the PBX and LAN can involve a number of different pieces of hardware, including the following:
■Modems or data modules
■House wiring and cables
It is essential that AT&T certifies this hardware and that you configure it correctly.
Gender The connections described in this book may require gender
changers changers. You may wish to have several gender changers on hand when you establish the hardware connections.
Certification The configurations described in this chapter are the certified Proxy Agent configurations supported by AT&T.
NOTE:
Other configurations can also work. However, if you use configurations other than the ones described in this book, and if you require assistance from the Technical Service Organization (TSO) to make them work, the TSO will make a "best effort" to assist you. You will be billed for that effort on a time and materials basis.
