DATA-CHL (Data Channel)
The four Data Channels (DATA-CHLs) provide a data communications interfa ce
that allows data terminal equip ment connected to p ort circuit p acks to
communicate with software app lications running on the system. Each DATA-CHL
represents a dial-up/d ial-out asynchronous communic ations port that interfaces
to the TDM Bus. Data is transported between th e terminal equipment and the
software application over the DATA-CHL. Data Channels may be used to sup port
the following features and functio ns:
Establishment of a connection over whic h to log CDR data to a printer or
other storage unit. This connectio n is called PRI-CDR/SEC-CDR (PRI-CDR
Link).
Establishment of connections over whic h to log PMS, Automatic Wakeup,
and Emergency Acc ess to Attendant data to a Jour nal printer. This
connection is called PMS-PRINT/JRNL-PRNT (PMS Printer Link).
Establishment of a connection to a c ustomer-owned PMS. This connection
is called the PMS-LINK.
Establishment of a connection to system p rinter. This connection is called
the Sys tem Pri nter Link ( SYS-PRNT).
Establishment of connection(s) for up to two secondary ad ministration
terminals.
Saving announcements from the ANN-BD (Announcement Circ uit Pack).
Restoring announcements to the ANN-BD (Announc ement Circuit Pack).
Maintenance testing of the DATA-CHLs.
From the viewpoint of administration, the four DATA-CHLs on the TN798
Processor circuit pac k are numbered 01 through 04. Each DATA-CHL may be
assigned a unique extensi on using the add data-module [ <ext> | next ]

1. The test data-module <ext> long command drops all sessions on all of the Data Channels. Refer
to Data Channel Reset Test (#107).
MINOR test data-module l <ext> Data Channel
DATA-CHL2
2. <ext> is the extension of the Data Channel to be tested. The extension can be determined by
issuing the list data-module command from the administration terminal. The resulting form
provides a mapping from the 1CXXpp designation of the Data Channel to its corresponding
extension, where pp indicates which one of the four Data Channels is alarmed (01, 02, 03, or 04)
and C indicates the carrier on which the alarmed Data Channel resides.

3. The test data-module <ext> long command drops all sessions on all of the Data Channels. Refer
to Data Channel Reset Test (#107).
