Station Jacks
Assign each data module used for access to a host computer to a digital station
jack on a 008 MLX module and each modem to a basic telephone station jack
on a 012 or a 008 OPT module. Users access the computer by placing a data
call to the extension number for either a data module or modem assigned for
communications with the local host computer.
If you have a limited number of data modules or modems to share among many
users, assign some or all of the modems or data modules to a data hunt group.
In this way, users can access all the conversion resources in the data hunt
group by dialing one extension number.
For example, analog data station users could dial extension 771 to place a data
call to the local host computer using a modem assigned to the data hunt group
for modems. Similarly, digital station users could dial extension 772 to place a
call to the local host computer using a data module in the data hunt group for
data modules.
Planning Form Instructions
Record the station jack assignments for local host computer access stations
on System Form 2a, System Numbering—Station Jacks:
1. In the "Jack Type" column, make sure there is a "D" next to the number for
each digital station jack used to connect an ISDN 7599B Data Module.
2. In the "Person, Location, or Function" column, write "ISDN 7500B—host."
3. In the "Jack Type" column, make sure there is a "B" next to the number for
each basic telephone station jack you plan to use to connect a modem.
4. In the "Person, Location, or Function" column, write "modem—host."
Local Area Network (IAN) workstations are PCs connected together to share
resources.
Assign each data module used for access to a LAN workstation to a digital jack
on a 008 MLX module. Each modem must be connected to a basic telephone
station jack on a 012 or 008 OPT module.
To access the workstation, users place a data call to the extension number
resewed for either an ISDN 7500B Data Module or modem.
If you have a limited number of ISDN 7500B Data Modules or modems that must
be shared by many users, you can assign some or all of the modems or data
modules to a data hunt group. In this way, users can access all the conversion
resources in the data hunt group by dialing a single extension number.
For example, an analog data station user could dial extension 773 to place a
data call to the workstation on the LAN using a modem assigned to the data
hunt group for modems. Similarly, a digital station user could dial extension 774
to place a call to the workstation on the LAN using an ISDN 7500B in the data
hunt group for 7500Bs.
