OUTGOING MODEM
POOLS ON MERLIN II
SYSTEM LINES
INCOMING MODEM POOLS
ON MERLIN II SYSTEM
LINES
You need to pair digital station jacks with analog or basic telephone jacks to
create modem configurations for outgoing calls on MERLIN II system lines.
You can group into modem pools any modem configurations for outgoing
calls that have the same station jack type, modem type, and speed.
T reserve jacks for outgoing modem pool pairs, perform these steps:
O
1 In the "Person, Location, or Function" column on the Master Planning
Form, write "OMP #1 - MTDM" (for outgoing modem pool number 1,
using an MTDM) next to an available station jack number marked "D"
(digital).
2 Locate a jack marked "A" (analog) or "B" (basic telephone) to pair with
the digital station jack. Write "OMP #1" in the "Person, Location, or
Function" column if the jack is a basic telephone jack or write "OMP
#1 - BTMI" in the "Person, Location, or Function" column if the jack is
for an analog telephone jack and
3 Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each modem configuration that has the same
modern type, station jack type, and speed.
Repeat steps 1 through 3 for each group of modem pool pairs.
4
5 Record the station number of each analog or basic telephone jack in an
outgoing modern configuration on a separate Station Configuration
Form. The Station Configuration Forms are found in the MERLIN II
System Installation and Administration Manual. Cross out the words
"Voice Terminal" and write "Station" above the crossed-out words.
On the spaces provided for identifying button assignments, record the
lines or line pools to be assigned to the outgoing modem
configurations. Section 4, "Administering Data Options," explains how
to assign lines to these station jacks.
You need to pair digital station jacks with analog or basic telephone jacks to
create modem configurations for incoming calls on MERLIN II system lines.
You can group into modem pools any modem configurations for incoming
calls that have the same station jack type, modem type, and speed and record
this information on the Incoming Modem Pool Form and Master Planning
Form.
See "Modem Pools on Dedicated Outside Lines" for
NOTE:
information on filling out the Incoming Modem Pool Form for modem
pools that don't use MERLIN II system lines.
Line Assignments
You need to assign lines or line pools to the analog or basic telephone jacks
for modem pool members so that data calls can come into these jacks.
Keep these points in mind as you assign lines:
• It's best not to assign the same lines or line pools to voice terminals and
to incoming modern pools because the moderns will answer voice calls
as data calls.
Reserving Jacks for Computer Access and Modem Pools
BTMI is required.
