Calling with Analog Data Equipment
You can use analog data equipment to
call directly to another analog station
call through a modem pool
answer a data call
How you make data calls depends on the type of data station you are calling
and where it is located.
If your analog data station is connected to an analog multiline telephone via a
General Purpose Adapter (GPA), use your telephone dialpad to dial. If your
analog data station is connected to an MLX telephone via a Multi-Function
Module (MFM), or if you have an analog data-only station (connected directly to
a 012 or 008 OPT module), use your data terminal keyboard to dial (if your
modem supports a terminal).
Your data terminal screen may report the status of your call. The wording of call
progress messages depends on your modem and data communication software.
Use the following instructions
to call inside and outside analog data stations
to call the modem connected to a local host computer's communication ports
to call the modem connected to workstations on a local area network (LAN)
to call outside analog data stations including calls made over the regular
analog telephone network and calls to ISDN facilities (T1 or PRI)
