Digital Phone LED Rates
TO CHANGE THE BIT RATE OF YOUR PCDPM:
1. While on hook, enter the Program Bit Rate feature code (393). If the port is not configured
for a DSS/BLF unit, the display shows ENTER BIT RATE. (If it is configured for DSS/
BLF, the display shows CANNOT PROGRAM BIT RATE.)
2. Enter a valid rate (300, 600, 1200, 2400, or 4800). Executive Display and Model 8560
Phone users can press the appropriate menu button in the display. The display shows BIT
RATE UPDATED. (If the entered baud rate was already in effect, it shows NO UPDATE
PERFORMED.)
Data Port Module for 12-Line and 24-Line Analog Phones
All GMX 24-line and IMX 12- and 24-line Analog Phones may be equipped with optional
Data Port Modules (refer to REPLACEMENT PARTS for the part number). The module con-
tains a four-conductor, RJ11 modular jack that can be used to connect either a data device
(such as a personal computer equipped with a modem) or a loud ringing adapter (LRA) and an
external signaling device (such as a loud bell, horn, flashing light, etc.) to the phone. Refer to
page 90 for operating instructions.
Optional Data Devices
A customer-provided, modem-equipped data device (such as a data terminal or a personal com-
puter) may be attached to an Inter-Tel phone that has an optional data port module installed.
Model 8560, Model 8520, Executive Display, Professional Display, Standard Display, and
Associate Display Phone users can adjust the bit rate (bps) of the PCDPM connected to the
phone. The rate can be set to 300, 600, 1200, 2400, or 4800 (1200, 2400, or 4800 on a system
serial port). To adjust the bit rate of your PCDPM, refer to the instructions on page 89.
The circuit with the data port module can be programmed to be associated with one or more
other phones. The associated phone(s) should have a button that will show the status of
the data device and will allow easy transfers between the phone and the data device.
Data calls are transmitted over the data port voice path. This leaves the attached phone’s voice
path available for normal phone operation. However, receiving off-hook voice announce
(OHVA) calls at an Model 8560, Model 8520, Executive Display, Professional Display, Stan-
dard Display, or Associate Display Phone attached to an MDPM is not possible during a data
call since the data call is using the secondary voice path.
Calls can be transferred back and forth between an associated phone’s primary voice path and
data port as often as needed provided that the data port is on-hook at the time of the transfer
attempt. For example, a call can be placed using the data device, then transferred to the phone’s
primary voice path to announce the call, and then transferred back to the data device so that it
can communicate with the called device. (Note that transferring to the phone’s primary voice
path disconnects the data device from the call. During that time, the call cost display for the
data call is shown on the phone.)
