ISDN Terminal Adapter Data-Only Stations

An ISDN terminal adapter data-only station consists of a PC or a data terminal
connected to an ISDN terminal adapter. Each ISDN terminal adapter data station
connects to a digital extension jack on an 008 MLX, 408 GS/LS-MLX, 408 GS/LS-
ID-MLX, or 016 MLX (Release 7.0 and later) module.
Planning Form Instructions
Record the extension jack assignments for ISDN terminal adapter data stations
on Form 2a, System Numbering: Extension Jacks:
1. In the Jack Type column, make sure there is a D next to the number for
each digital extension jack.
2. In the Person, Location or Function column, write
each ISDN terminal adapter data station by person, location, or function.
3. Fill in Form 2b with the extension number of the ISDN terminal adapter.

Local Host Computer Data Stations

A local host computer data station consists of a local host computer, a data
terminal for that computer, and one or more ISDN terminal adapters and/or
modems.
Assign each ISDN terminal adapter used for access to a host computer to a digital
extension jack on an 008 MLX, 408 GS/LS-MLX, 408 GS/LS-ID-MLX, or 016 MLX
(Release 7.0 and later) module. Assign each modem to a tip/ring extension jack
on an 012 (T/R), 016 (T/R), or 008 OPT module; or, in Release 7.0 and later
systems, to a port programmed for tip/ring operation on a 412 LS-ID-ETR or 016
ETR module.
If you have a limited number of ISDN terminal adapters or modems to share
among many users, assign some or all of the modems or ISDN terminal adapters
to a DHG. In this way, users can access all the devices in the DHG by dialing one
extension number.
Users access the computer by placing a data call to the extension number for
either an ISDN terminal adapter or modem (or DHG)—depending on the user's
type of data station—that is assigned for communication with the local host
computer.
