7.16 Data Interface Unit

The Data Interface Unit, or DIU, is an optional external device that may be part of your system installation. It provides connections for both your telephone and an IST device such as a standard single-line telephone, a FAX machine, a data modem, a cordless telephone, or an answering machine.

If the installer has arranged your station in this manner, you can switch between your telephone and the IST device by pressing the DATA button that the installer has programmed on your telephone. The light associated with the DATA button provides status indications for your reference.
