in three ways:
• a direct connection to the KSU1 – CPM – PC-DBA port,
• using the optional system modem (PN 7249), or
• using the built-in modem of the in-skin voicemail module with pass-through communications

Connect. This connect operation links PC-DBA to the DX-80 processor for data exchange.

make this connection, you can connect to the DX-80 system processor for the various Maintenance
operations.
