System Features Used for Data
Many features are available to data station users through the communications
system software:
Modem Pools (also called conversion resources) consist of one or more
pairs of an ISDN 7500B Data Module and a modem. A pool is used to
optimize and share conversion resources to reduce costs. Modem pools can
be grouped so that costly resources can be shared by many users.
Data Hunt Groups are groups of the same type of stations (all analog or all
digital) or one or more modem pool pairs that are assigned one extension
number. Specific lines/trunks can also be assigned to ring directly into the
data hunt group (DHG) so that outside callers can dial a published telephone
number to reach the DHG. DHGs connect calls in a round-robin fashion to
the first available data station or modem pool pair in the group.
Account Code Entry allows tracking of outgoing data calls for billing,
forecasting, or budget reports.
Auto Answer All allows a modem with automatic answering capability to
answer data calls when the user is away from the station.
Data Status is used when a data station includes an analog multiline or
Digital/lSDN (MLX) telephone to monitor when data equipment is in use.
Privacy prevents loss of data by ensuring that data transmission is not
interrupted accidentally. Privacy for data calls is provided automatically on
digital data stations and on analog data stations with analog multiline
telephones, but must be manually activated on all other analog data stations.
System Speed Dial or Personal Speed Dial permits quick dialing of
frequently used numbers.
