In addition to voice communications capabilities, the system also supports data
and video communications to enable users to send or receive data, or establish
group or personal video conferences.
NOTE: NOTE: NOTE:
To configure the switch to support data communications across a private
network, see the Network Reference for information.
Planning for data and video communications consists of the following tasks:
1. Planning how the data and/or video equipment connects to extension jacks
on the control unit. This depends on the type of data stations or video
systems.
2. Creating modem/ISDN terminal adapter pools (pairs of modems and ISDN
terminal adapters) to enable calls between the two types of data stations:
modem data stations and ISDN terminal adapter data stations.
3. Assigning lines/trunks to data stations and video systems.
4. Assigning features to data stations.
5. Creating data hunt groups (DHGs), that is, data calling groups, if there are
modem/ISDN terminal adapter pools with more than one data
communications equipment pair (a modem and an ISDN terminal adapter),
or to designate a group of either modems or ISDN terminal adapters to
receive calls to communicate with a local host computer or local area
network (LAN) workstation.
NOTE:
Modem/ISDN terminal adapter pools are not described in this book.
