a personal computer (PC) using industry-standard ‘‘auto-dialer ’’ PC

communications packages.

The 8400B Plus Data Module is a data service link between a Data Terminal

Equipment (DTE) device, a two-wire telephone, and a Lucent Technologies

DEFINITY® Communications System G3V2 or later.

NOTE:

Unless a specific DTE device is intended, the words terminal device shall

be used throughout this guide to represent any applicable DTE device,

including a dumb terminal, or a PC with an appropriate communications

package.

Features

A terminal device is connected to the 8400B Plus Data Module using a sta ndard

Electronics Industries Association EIA-232-D Connector cord an d, if needed,

the supplied M9/F25 Adapter. The M9/F25 Adapter converts a 25-pin interface

to a 9-pin interface, adhering to the Electronics Industries Associ ation/

Telecommunications Industry Association EIA/TIA-574 standard. A Digital

Communications Protocol (DCP) interface (using a type D8W modular

telephone cord) is used to connect the 8400B Plus Data Module to the digital

PBX.

The 8400B Plus Data Module may be optioned for use either with or without a

telephone. In the stand-alone case, the 8400B Plus Data Module suppo rts data

service only. Otherwise, the 8400B Plus Data Module provides simultaneous

data and voice service. The 8400B Plus Data Module works with all DCP v oice

terminals that support two-wire operation (such as the 8400 series voice

terminals) to provide simultaneous data and voice service.

The voice dial feature allows you to dial a voice call without touching the

telephone. Depending on your communications package, you may als o store

telephone numbers on a PC and recall them for dialing, log phone calls for easy

billing, and take notes for later reference during a telephone conversati on.
