GPA Settings

Modem calls

When the GPA is connected to an analog multiline telephone and configured
using the Automatic setting, you can:
Answer calls (if this is the case, an Auto Answer All button must be
programmed so that calls can be answered automatically).
Make and receive calls on the telephone while using the modem. The
speakerphone must not be used.
Setting Up
To set up an analog voice and modem data station, follow the steps below:
If using an external modem, use an EIA-232-D cable to connect the
! 
SERIAL port on the data terminal to the modem. If using an internal
modem, it should already be connected to the correct serial port.
If the data terminal has both COM1 and COM2 ports, make sure you
use the one designated for data transmission. See the customer's
system manager if you are not sure.
