About Modem connections

Note:
USB modems cannot connect to rotary lines. A Touch Tone line is required.
Note:
The TN8400AP Media Server circuit pack supports a USB modem. The modem communicates
directly to the maintenance processor or tunnels through to the Communication Manager
processor application. The modem provides Avaya Services with remote alarming and dial-in
and dial-out access.
Connect the USB modem to port labeled USB on the media server cable adapter. The adapter
is mounted on the rear of the TN8400AP Media Server circuit pack.
Modem options are set when you configure the media server. No options are set on the
modems themselves.

or through a TN799DP C-LAN circuit pack.
