Unless you assign different lines to each modem in a pool or use the Group
Call Distribution feature, you need to specify where the call should ring first.
Otherwise calls will ring at all the modems in the modern pool
simultaneously.
• Set lines for immediate ring at only one of the modems in the modem
pool.
. Set lines for delayed ring at the other modem(s) in the modern pool.
See "Ringing Options" in Section 2 of the MERLIN II System Manual
Ringing Options to lines connected to modems in modem pools.
Once a person making an outgoing data call is connected to a modem, the
administration of the analog or basic telephone jack for that modem
determines what types of outside and toll calls are permitted and what line or
line pool is used for the call. For example, someone with an outward
restricted voice terminal can place a data call to any endpoint if the modem
through which the call is placed isn't restricted.
You can restrict the types of data calls that can be placed through your
outgoing modem pools. For example, you may want a modem pool to be
used only for local calls to a host computer in the same city. If so, you can
administer the analog jacks of the modem pool members to be toll restricted.
If you want people to be able to place long distance data calls to specific area
codes or exchanges, you can assign one or more allowed lists to the analog or
basic telephone jacks.
Modem pools on dedicated outside lines can't be restricted by
NOTE:
the MERLIN II system.
To administer calling restrictions, follow the instructions in "Call Restriction"
and "Allowed Lists" in Section 2 of the MERLIN II System Manual.
For security reasons, you may not want to give the telephone number of a
remote computer to the people who use outgoing modem pools. If so, assign
a System Speed Dial code to the telephone number. People dial the 3-digit
code to place data calls to the remote computer. If you mark the code when
you administer it, the code rather than the telephone number appears on
your reports, if you use the Call Report feature.
To assign codes to telephone numbers of remote computers, see "System
Speed Dial" in Section 2 of the MERLIN II System Manual.
If you use the Automatic Route Selection feature, you may want to specify
the line pool(s) that the system uses for outgoing data calls to particular area
codes or exchanges. If so, see "Automatic Route Selection" in Section 2 of
the MERLIN II System Manual.
