Basic Administration For Analog Station Jacks - AT&T Merlin II Feature Module 2 Data Communications Manual

Basic Administration for Analog Station Jacks

When you administer a MERLIN II system, you assign operating conditions,
lines, and features to the station jacks to which voice terminals are connected.
In a system with digital data capability, you also administer station jacks for
data equipment, such as modem pools.
Keep these points in mind as you administer data options:
There are special requirements for administering analog station jacks to
which Basic Telephone and Modem Interface (B'TMI) devices are
connected. If you have modem pool members that use BTMIs, follow the
guidelines in "Administer Basic Telephones" in Section 4 of the MERLIN II
System Installation and Administration Manual.
If you use the Simultaneous Voice and Data feature for analog voice
terminals or have modem pools, be sure to set the voice terminal type for
the analog station jacks.
– For voice terminals with Simultaneous Voice and Data, set the higher-
numbered (data) station jack to the same voice terminal type as the
lower-numbered (voice) jack. You must perform this procedure for
jacks in the voice/data pair.

– For modem pools with BTMIs, identify the station jack to which the
BTMI is connected as one ready to receive a voice terminal with flat
membrane buttons (non-BIS/HFAI).
