Step Procedure

1Toggle DIP switch position 3 to the down (closed) position to enable the command port.

2Connect a terminal or PC running communications software to the DATA/COMMAND connector on the back panel of the DataTalker.

Note: Any cables connected to the computer should be shielded to reduce interference.

3Apply power to the DataTalker.

4Apply power to the terminal or PC. Run the PC’s communications software in terminal mode and press ENTER twice to establish communications with the DataTalker. The Main Menu appears:

Block DiagramChapter 1 - Introduction and Description communications software to the DATA/COMMAND connector on the back panel and configure the data channel for the type of data that is going to be transferred. For example, if an asynchronous device is going to be connected to the data channel, you must set the speed of the channel, the word length, the number of stop bits, whether or not you are going to have parity checking, the flow control type, and other aspects of asynchronous data. After you have configured the data channel, remove the command port device and connect the data channel device, allowing data to be transferred from the asynchronous device to the MultiMux’s input/ output circuitry1.4.3 Composite Link 1.4 System Features1.4.1 Voice/Fax 1.4.2 Data Channel1.4.7 Operational Statistics 1.4.6 DiagnosticsChapter 1 - Introduction and Description DataTalker Owner’s Manual 1.5 FCC Regulations for Telephone Line InterconnectionChapter 1 - Introduction and Description 1.6 Canadian Limitations Notice1.7.2 Sync Data Channel 1.7 Specifications1.7.3 System Control Command Port 1.7.1 Async Data Channel1.7.8 Voice/Fax Channel 1.7.5 Internal Modem1.7.6 Internal DSU 1.7.7 ISDN Terminal AdapterDataTalker Owner’s Manual 1.7.9 Electrical/PhysicalDesktop Models Rack-mount ModelsChapter 2 - Configuration 2.1 Introduction DataTalker ConfigurationsValid Voice/Fax Configurations ConfigurationChapter 2 - Configuration 2.2 Configuration 1 - Dial-Up LinkHome Office DataTalker Owner’s Manual To configure the DataTalker, enter 1 and press ENTERChapter 2 - Configuration AT$D1 CR AT&W CR Q CRATDTNumber to DialN0 CR DataTalker Owner’s Manual To connect the home office DataTalker to its PC, connect an RS232C cable between the DATA/ COMMAND connector on the DataTalker and an async port on the PC typically, COM1 or COM2.
