• On the lower right-hand side of the back panel, is a
round port for connecting the terminal to a power
source. This port is identified by an 'electrical power'
icon (shown to the right).
To process electronic transactions, the terminal automatically dials up
and communicates with a host computer over a telephone line. You
can connect the Omni 3200 to a telephone line in one of two ways:
with a pass-through connection or with a direct connection:
• Pass-through connection. The telephone line cord runs from the
Telset port on the back of the terminal to a RJ11-type jack located
on a standard telephone base unit.
The telephone you use for a pass-through connection must be
fully functional and must have two RJ11-type modular jacks on
its base: one for the direct connection of the telephone and
another for the Omni 3200 connection.
With a pass-through connection, the line is busy when the
terminal is using it to dial in to a host computer, or when a host
computer is dialing in to the terminal.
• Direct connection. The telephone line cord runs from the Telco
port on the back panel of the terminal directly to a RJ11-type
telephone company wall jack.
To set up a pass-through telephone line connection from the Omni
3200 to a telephone base unit (see Figure 7):
1. Insert the connector on one end of the telephone line
cord into the Telset port on the back panel of the
terminal. (The Telset port is identified by the icon
shown to the right.)
