562Data modules

netcon Assigns a Netcon Data Module. Netcon data modules are the

Processor Data Modules (PDMs) that are integrated into the

system’s network control ports that provide asynchronous

circuit switched interfaces to the maintenanc e and

administration terminals, Hospitality jou rnal printers, and CDR

digital output. They are characterized by their s pecial loc ations,

that is, special port identifications.

NOTE:

The Netcon data module is only applicable to G3si

configurations. For G3r and later configurations, use the

system-port command.

pdm Assigns a DCE interface for Processor/Trunk Data Modules.

These screens assign Modular Processor Data Modules

(MPDMs) and Modular Trunk Data Modules (MTDMs). One

screen is required for assigning MPDMs (700D), 7400B,

7400D or 8400B Data Module, and another screen for MTDMs

(700B, 700C, 700E, 7400A). One screen must be completed

for each MPDM, 7400B, 7400D, 8400B or MTDM.

The MPDM, 7400B, or 8400B Data Module provides a Data

Communications Equipment (DCE) interface for connection to

equipment such as data terminals, CDR output devices,

on-premises administration terminal, Message Server , Proper ty

Management System (PMS), AUDIX, and host computers. It

also provides a Digital Communications Protocol (DCP)

interface to the digital switch. (DCE is the equi pment on the

network side of a communications link that provides all the

functions required to make the binary serial data from the

source or transmitter compatible with the communications

channel.)

The MTDM provides an Electronic Industries Association

(EIA) Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) interface for

connection to off-premises private line trunk facilities or a

switched telecommunications network a nd a DCP interface for

connection to the digital switch. (DTE is the equipment

comprising the endpoints in a connection over a data circuit.

For example, in a connection between a data terminal and a

host computer, the terminal, the host, and their associated

modems or data modules make up the DTE.) The MTDM or

7400A Data Module also can serve as part of a conversion

resource for Combined Modem Pooling.
