4.3 Configuration Summary

The following chart shows possible configurations for your DataTalker. Use it as a snapshot of how your unit is set up. Circle the parameters that apply to your unit. For example, if your unit has the data channel set up for asynchronous communications, circle “Async.”

Data Port	Sync	Async
Optional Port	None	Voice/Fax
Voice/Fax Channel(s)	1 Channel	2 Channels
	FXO (PBX)	FXS (Phone)	E&M (Trunk)
Composite Link	Internal Device	External Device
External Device	RS-232	V.35
Internal Composite	Modem	DSU	ISDN TA
Link Device
Internal Device	Dial-Up	Leased	Digital
Connector

4.4 Data Port Configuration Considerations

When configuring the data port on your DataTalker, the first question you should ask yourself is what the port is connected to (e.g., an async channel of a host computer, a LAN gateway or bridge, or the composite link of an MMH900 series MultiMux).

If the port is connected to an asynchronous channel of a host computer, you should

•set the data port to “Async.”

•set the speed of the port.

•verify all the other parameters of the Data Port Configuration menu.

If the port is connected to a dedicated PC serving as a LAN gateway or bridge, the interface is most likely synchronous and you should

•set the data port to “Sync.”

•set clocking to “Internal” or “External.”

•set the desired speed if you select internal clocking.

•ignore all the other parameters in the Data Port Configuration menu.

If the port is connected to the composite link of a MultiMux MMH900 series, the interface is most likely synchronous and you should

•set the data port to “Sync.”

•set clocking to “Internal.”

•set the desired speed.

•ignore all other parameters in the Data Port Configuration menu.
