Assigning Features to Data Stations

The factory settings can be changed; however, at least one ICOM button must be
assigned to each data station. To allow a user to make and receive outside data
calls, you must assign an outside trunk to the data station.
To dedicate a specific line to receive outside data calls, assign an outside line/
trunk to a data station, DHG, LAN workstation, or local host computer.
On a digital or analog data station, the user selects an outside line/trunk by dialing
the Idle Line Preference code (usually 9) on an ICOM button. On an ISDN
terminal adapter data station, the user can also select lines/trunks assigned to the
extension by dialing the line number (801–880) assigned to that outside line/trunk.
It is extremely important that the factory-set Idle Line Preference (the line to which
the user is connected automatically when going off-hook) not be changed. The
user must be connected to an intercom line to activate features such as Privacy or
to select an available outside line/trunk by dialing the Idle Line Preference code.
Planning Form Instructions
Using Form 2c, System Numbering: Line/Trunk Jacks as reference, record your
decisions for each data station on the Key mode Button Diagram of Data Form 1a
or 1b. If you want to assign outside lines/trunks to the data station, write the
telephone number (from Form 2c) of the outside line/trunk on the appropriate
button. For ISDN terminal adapter data stations, include the line/trunk number.
Assigning Features to Data Stations
Many of the features used for voice calls (as described earlier in this guide) can
also be assigned to data stations. This section describes these features and how
to assign them to each ISDN terminal adapter or modem data station. This
includes: modem data stations with an MLX telephone using an MFM, ISDN
terminal adapter data stations with a telephone, and modem and ISDN terminal
adapter data-only stations (data stations with no telephone).
NOTE:
Features cannot be independently assigned to modem data stations
connected to analog multiline telephones using a General-Purpose Adapter
(GPA). The feature assignment for the telephone also includes the modem;
therefore, the following planning instructions are not used for these types of
data stations.
The following optional features can be assigned to data stations:
Account Code Entry. This feature allows tracking of outgoing data calls
for billing, forecasting, or budget reports.
Auto Answer All. This feature allows a modem with automatic answering
capability to answer data calls when the user is away from the data station.
Supports analog voice and modem data stations only.
