Use these instructions if the system has a group of modems or ISDN terminal adapters.
DHGs are data calling groups that provide uniform call distribution among a group of modems or a group of ISDN terminal adapters (such as the Ascend Pipeline 25PX or 50). DHGs support the following:
■Modem pools
■Dedicated lines for data service
■A local host computer
■A workstation that functions as a gateway on a LAN
For more information, see the “Planning Overview,” earlier in this chapter. For information on modem pools, see application note, MERLIN LEGEND Communications System Modem Pooling.
Guidelines | 5 |
Use the following guidelines for the procedure in this section:
■Members of a DHG must be extension jacks of the same type: all analog or all MLX.
■You can assign up to 32 DHGs or calling groups, or a combination of both types. Each DHG can have a maximum of 20 members and each data station can be a member of only one DHG.
■You can designate particular lines/trunks or pools (Hybrid/PBX mode only) to ring directly into a DHG. However, incoming calls on a given line/trunk can be directed to only one DHG.
■Extension numbers
Forms Needed
■Form 2a, System Numbering: Extension Jacks
■Form 2c, System Numbering: Line/Trunk Jacks
■If the system has trunk pools (Hybrid/PBX mode only) Form 2c, System Numbering: Line/Trunk Jacks
■If the system includes voice calling groups, Form 7d, Group Calling
■If you plan to renumber the
