LAN Workstations

A Local Area Network (LAN) consists of workstations (PCs) connected together to
share resources. The system connects to the LAN through a workstation that
functions as a gateway, providing ports for modem and ISDN terminal adapter
connections.
Assign each ISDN terminal adapter used for access to a LAN workstation to a
digital jack on an 008 MLX, 408 GS/LS-MLX, 408 GS/LS-ID-MLX, or 016 MLX
(Release 7.0 and later) module. Each modem must be connected to a tip/ring
extension jack on an 012 (T/R), 016 (T/R), or 008 OPT module; or, in Release 7.0
and later systems, to a port programmed for tip/ring operation on a 412 LS-ID-
ETR or 016 ETR module.
If you have a limited number of ISDN terminal adapters or modems to share
among many users, assign some or all of the modems or ISDN terminal adapters
to a DHG. In this way, users can access all the devices in the DHG by dialing one
extension number.
Users access the computer by placing a data call to the extension number for
either an ISDN terminal adapter or modem (or DHG)—depending on the user's
type of data station—that is assigned for communication with the local host
computer.
