ABOUT THE NUMBERED
DIAGRAMS
diagrams and descriptions below are typical hardware configurations for
The
a MERLIN II system with voice and data capability. They include:
A digital station equipped for simultaneous voice and data
communications
• A 7406 voice terminal with a data stand (Z703A), connected to a data
terminal
• A Personal Terminal (PT) 510D
A digital station equipped for data communications only
An analog station equipped for simultaneous voice and data
communications
Local host computer access
Modem pools for:
• Data calls from a digital data endpoint
• Data calls to a digital data endpoint
• Data calls on dedicated outside lines
This section gives general instructions for connecting Data Terminal
Equipment (DTE) and Data Communications Equipment (DCE) to the
MERLIN II control unit. It also discusses setting data options to ensure that
equipment throughout the system is compatible.
Compatibility with the PC/PBX Connection and other data
NOTE:
products will be provided with the documentation for that equipment.
This. section of the guide provides guidelines for connecting data equipment
to a MERLIN II system. It is intended to supplement, not replace, the
documentation provided with the hardware. For detailed installation
information, consult the appropriate hardware manual.
The Master Planning Form shows the station jacks on the control unit
should be used for each data hardware configuration in your system. Keep
the completed form handy for reference as you connect cords to jacks on
station modules.
This section of the guide assumes that all the required station modules have
been installed in your control unit. It also assumes that you have the
components and cables required to assemble and connect the data hardware
planned for your system. If you don't have the equipment you need, contact
your equipment supplier or technical consultant.
Many of the figures in this section illustrate data connectivity for the
MERLIN II system. These diagrams, along with the Master Planning Form,
the Data Hunt Group Form, and the Incoming Modem Pool Form, provide a
guide for connecting data communications hardware to other equipment and
to the control unit. The numbers in each connectivity diagram correspond to
those of the explanatory notes beneath the figure.
