A local host computer data station consists of a local host computer, a data terminal for that computer, and one or more ISDN terminal adapters and/or modems.
Assign each ISDN terminal adapter used for access to a host computer to a digital extension jack on an 008 MLX or 408
If you have a limited number of ISDN terminal adapters or modems to share among many users, assign some or all of the modems or ISDN terminal adapters to a DHG. In this way, users can access all the devices in the DHG by dialing one extension number.
Users access the computer by placing a data call to the extension number for either an ISDN terminal adapter or modem (or DHG) — depending on the user’s type of data station — that is assigned for communication with the local host computer.
