Diagram of Data Form 1a or 1b.
1.If you want to assign personal lines to the data station, write Personal Line and the telephone number (from Form 2c) of the outside line on the appropriate button. For ISDN terminal adapter data stations, include the line/trunk number.
2.If you want to assign a pool to the data station, write Pool and the pool’s extension number (from Form 2c) on the appropriate button.
NOTE:
On modem data stations from which the user does not need to make inside calls, you can assign only personal lines or pools; when going
Assigning Line Buttons in Key Mode | 5 |
There are two kinds of line buttons you can assign to data stations used to make and receive data calls:
■Intercom Ring. Used to make and receive inside data calls only.
■Outside Line/Trunk. Used to make and receive outside data calls on a specific outside line/trunk. An outside line/trunk can be assigned to a line button on one or more data stations or voice extensions. To dedicate an outside line/trunk for data calls and have the calls automatically answered at a data station, do not assign the same outside line/trunk to data stations and to telephones, because modems answer voice calls as data calls.
For digital data stations, the outside line/trunk can be used to make and receive outside data calls. For an outgoing call, the user dials the line number
