Data-Only Off-Premises Extensions - Avaya Communication Manager Administrator's Manual

Data-Only Off-Premises Extensions

Data-Only Off-Premises Extensions allows users to make data calls involving data
communications equipment (DCE) or digital terminal equipment (DTE) located remotely from
the system site.
A Data-Only Off-Premises Extension uses an on-premises modular trunk data module (MTDM).
The system communicates with remote data equipment through the private-line facility linking
the on-premises MTDM and the remote data equipment.
Users can place data calls to this type of data endpoint using Telephone Dialing or Data
Terminal (Keyboard) Dialing. Since there is no telephone at the remote site, originate data calls
from the remote data terminal using Keyboard Dialing only.
