Introduction

apersonal 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 standard Electronics Industries Association EIA-232-D Connector cord and, 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 Association/ 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 supports data service only. Otherwise, the 8400B Plus Data Module provides simultaneous data and voice service. The 8400B Plus Data Module works with all DCP voice 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 also 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 conversation.
