ELECTRA MARK11

1.DESCRIPTION

ETI NUMBER: MK-017 DATE: APRIL, 1990

This Engineering Technical Information (ETI) Bulletin describes the steps necessary for connection and operation of a Viking Fax Jack III and a Viking PathFinder (Phone/Data/Fax Switch) with the Electra Markll. Both products can be used for the connection of fax machines, modems, and other data transmission devices. By connecting these units to an incoming CO line, Voice calls can be routed to the Electra Markll. However, Fax/Data calls will be directed to appropriate devices. Thisallows multi-use of a CO line.

2.CONFlGURATlONS

Both products must be connected to the Electra Markll via a	COI-E/EB ETU port.	Fax machines,	modems, and
other data transmission devices are then connected directly to	the Viking products.	Fax machines	may be G 1, G2.

G3, etc.,

type

machines.

An incoming call from a fax machine

that

provides

CNG tones will be

automatically

routed

to

the

fax

that

is connected

to the

Viking

product.

An

incoming

call

from

a fax

machine

that

does

not

provide

CNG tones

will

not

be routed

automatically.

The call must be taken

via telephone

and

transferred

to

the

fax machine

by depressing

“#,l”

on

the same line

that the

call

came

Tchnical

Practice

Notes

that

are provided

with

each

of

these

products.

NOTE: Carrier Tone must be sent before incoming modem calls that are to be directed to the modem-that is connected to the Viking product. This can be accomplished by the digits dialed by the incoming modem,

followed by three pauses, then a string of 2s (a minimum of three 2s is recommended). The string must be longer than the time required by the Telco to connect and ring the line.

If Carrier Tone is not sent, the call must be taken by telephone and transferred to the modem by depressing “#, 2” on the same line that the call came in on.

3.PARTS REQUIRED

For connection of either the Viking Fax Jack III or the Viking PathFinder:

. COI-E/EB ETU

lViking Fax Jack III (Model FAXJ-300) or Viking PathFinder (Model PDF-l) l Modular Line Cords with RJ11 Connectors

NOTE 1: The Fax Jack III comes with a line cord to connect to the COI-E/EB port. Two additional line cords with RJll connectors, allow connection of additional devices.

NOTE 2: The PathFinder requires one line cord to connect the unit to an COI-E/EB pot-t. A maximum of three additional line cords, with RJll connectors, allow connection of additional devices.
