MODEM POOLS ON
DEDICATED OUTSIDE
LINES
You may want to set up incoming or outgoing modem pools on dedicated
outside lines if:
You have a large volume of data communications and want to keep the
outside lines for your MERLIN II system available for voice calls.
You use specialized outside lines for data communications.
You don't have sufficient analog or basic telephone jacks for all the
modem pools you want to set up.
Identifying Station Jacks on the Master Planning Form
The first step in planning for modem pools on dedicated outside lines is to
enter the appropriate information on the Master Planning Form.
Follow these steps to reserve digital station jacks for modem pools on
dedicated outside lines:
1 In the "Person, Location, or Function" column on the Master Planning
Form, locate an available jack marked "D" (digital). Next to the jack
number, write "IMPP-DL-M" (for incoming modem pool pair on a
dedicated line, using an MTDM) or "OMPP-DL-MTDM" (for outgoing
modem pool pair on a dedicated line, using an MTDM).
2 Repeat step 1 for each modem configuration on
line.
Completing the Incoming Modem Pool Form
If you have incoming modem pools on dedicated lines, you need to enter
information about those pools on the Incoming Modem Pool Form.
Follow these steps to complete the Incoming Modem Pool Form:
1 Determine the total number of incoming modem pools on dedicated
outside lines that you have. Keep in mind that only modems of the
same type and speed can make up a modem pool.
2 Record the number of the modem pool, the modem type, and the
speed in the appropriate places. Don't check a jack type and check
"No" to show that the modem pool doesn't have the Group Call
Distribution feature.
3 Referring to the Master Planning Form, record the station numbers of
all digital jacks marked "IMPP-DL-MTDM" that have modem
configuartions with the modem type and speed marked. Write the jack
numbers on the consecutive lines.
4 On the crresponding line under "Lines/Line Pools," write the number
of the outside line connected to the modem.
5 Repeat step 2 through 4 for each incoming modem pool on a
dedicated line in your system.
