Usage
Assigns a DCE interface for Processor/Trunk Data Modules. These
screens assign Modular Processor Data Modules (MPDMs) and Modular
Trunk Data Modules (MTDMs). One screen is required for assigning
MPDMs (700D), 7400B, 7400D or 8400B Data Module, and another
screen for MTDMs (700B, 700C, 700E, 7400A). One screen must be
completed for each MPDM, 7400B, 7400D, 8400B or MTDM.
The MPDM, 7400B, or 8400B Data Module provides a Data
Communications Equipment (DCE) interface for connection to equipment
such as data terminals, CDR output devices, on-premises administration
terminal, Message Server, Property Management System (PMS), AUDIX,
and host computers. It also provides a Digital Communications Protocol
(DCP) interface to the digital switch. (DCE is the equipment on the
network side of a communications link that provides all the functions
required to make the binary serial data from the source or transmitter
compatible with the communications channel.)
The MTDM provides an Electronic Industries Association (EIA) Data
Terminal Equipment (DTE) interface for connection to off-premises
private line trunk facilities or a switched telecommunications network and
a DCP interface for connection to the digital switch. (DTE is the
equipment comprising the endpoints in a connection over a data circuit.
For example, in a connection between a data terminal and a host
computer, the terminal, the host, and their associated modems or data
modules make up the DTE.) The MTDM or 7400A Data Module also can
serve as part of a conversion resource for Combined Modem Pooling.
Assigns a Point-to-Point Protocol data module. The PPP Data Module
screen assigns a synchronous TCP/IP port on the C-Lan. These ports
are tailored to provide TCP/IP connections for use over telephone lines.
See Administration for Network Connectivity for Avaya Communication
Manager, 555-233-504, for more information on Point-to-Point data
modules.
Assigns a System Port Data Module.
Assigns a DTE interface for Processor/Trunk Data Modules. See the pdm
entry above.
Assigns a World Class BRI Data Module.
Assigns an X.25 Data Module. See Administration for Network
Connectivity for Avaya Communication Manager, 555-233-504, for more
information on X.25 data modules.
