Planning

Planning Overview

Planning is the key to making the most of the data features offered by the
communications system. This chapter tells you how to plan analog and digital
data stations.
By using System Planning (Key or PBX), you should have already reserved the
following:
line/trunk jacks for outside lines/trunks
station jacks for voice telephone users
station jacks for either:
analog multiline telephones with an analog data station connected to a
General Purpose Adapter (GPA)
digital/lSDN (MLX) telephones with either an analog data station
connected via an MFM or a digital data station connected via an ISDN
7500B Data Module.
Note: Features and lines for analog data stations connected to an analog
multiline telephone via a GPA cannot be assigned independently of the
telephone. This includes reserving two consecutive analog station jacks on the
control unit for the Simultaneous Voice and Data feature. Planning for these
types of analog data stations and the Simultaneous Voice and Data feature is
covered in System Planning (Key or PBX) and is not included in this book.
On a new system, you can either plan and program voice communications
equipment first and data communications equipment second, or plan and
program voice and data equipment concurrently.
