MLX Voice and Terminal Adapter

Data Stations

Figure 6–4 shows the equipment configuration for MLX voice and terminal adapter data station.

The configuration shown in Figure 6–4 is for asynchronous terminal adapter data transmission. For information on setting up synchronous terminal adapter data stations, see “Video Conferencing Data Stations,” later in this chapter.

The maximum cord length from the terminal adapter to the telephone is 80 ft. (24.38 m).

Setting Up

To set up an MLX voice and terminal adapter data station, follow the steps below:

! Use an EIA-232-D cable to connect the serial port on the data terminal to the terminal adapter.

If the data terminal that has both COM1 and COM2 connectors, make sure you use the one designated for data transmission. See the customer’s system manager if you are not sure.

! Make sure the terminal adapter option settings for parity and speed are compatible with the data terminal. (Speed is synchronized automatically if the factory setting has not changed.)

If you are not sure about the speed and parity of the data terminal, see the customer’s system manager or the documentation packaged with the terminal adapter and data terminal.

! Plug the other end of the EIA-232-D cable into PORT 1 on the terminal adapter.

! Plug the WP90110-L7 power supply cord into the POWER receptacle on the terminal adapter.
