Considerations
■A BRI phone cannot call a data terminal, and a data terminal cannot call a
BRI phone.
Interactions
■Abbreviated Dialing
Only 22 of the 24 (maximum) digits in an abbreviated-dialing number are
available for keyboard dialing. The remaining two digits must contain the
wait indicator for tone detection.
■Call Coverage
A hunt group made up of data endpoints cannot be assigned a coverage
path.
■Call Detail Recording
CDR records the use of modem pools on trunk calls.
■Call Forwarding All Calls
Calls received by a data module can be forwarded. Activate Call
Forwarding All Calls with data-terminal (keyboard) dialing. If the
forwarded-to endpoint is an analog endpoint and the caller is a digital
endpoint, modem pooling is activated automatically.
■Pooled Modems with Hunt Groups
UCD can provide a group of data modules or analog modems for
answering calls to connected facilities (for example, computer ports).
■World-Class Tone Detection
Multiple-line data-terminal dialing is supported if the administered le vel of
tone detection is precise. You can administer tone-detection options. The
message that Data Call Setup sends to users varies according to the option.
If the option is not set to precise, and a data call is set up over an analog
trunk, messages describing the status of the called endpoint (for example,
RINGING, BUSY, TRY AGAIN) change according to which
tone-detection option is selected.
Default DialingDefault Dialing provides data-terminal users who dial a specific number the
majority of the time a very simple method of dialing that number. Normal data
terminal dialing and alphanumeric dialing are unaffected.
