modem and communications software.
2.

To Call an Analog Multiline Telephone from an Analog Data Station
Connected via GPA:
There are two ways to dial outside lines: with a dial-out code and without one. If
your communications system is operating in the Hybrid/PBX mode and you
place outside calls using a System Access (SA) button, you must dial a dial-out
code before the telephone number. If your communications system is operating
in the Key or Behind Switch mode, you must select a button labeled with a
telephone number or a special-purpose button such as WATS to make an
outside call (dial-out codes are not needed).
Enter modem commands and dial the number using the telephone dialpad:
1.
If the red light next to the Ring (ICOM or SA) button is not on, press the
Feature button.
2.
Lift the handset or press Speaker.
3.
Dial the outside telephone number for the outside analog data station you
are calling, including the dial-out code if you used an SA button. You can use
a Speed Dial code instead of dialing the telephone number.
Note: To enter an account code, dial #82, the account code, and # before
you dial the dial-out code and telephone number.
When you hear a steady tone, a data connection has been made. Put your
4.
modem into the data mode.
5.
Use the instructions supplied with your modem and communications
software to send data, receive data, and disconnect the call.
