PassageWay and Analog Adjunct Connections
Connecting the 8411 to a Personal Computer for PassageWay
Applications
The RS-232-D jack on the 8411 voice terminal provides the user with a direct
interface between an IBM-compatible personal computer and a DEFINITY switch.
This connection with the PC allows access to Lucent Technologies PassageWay
Solution applications.
For information about installing and setting up the PassageWay software, see the
PassageWay
-Direct Connection Solution For DEFINITY Communications System
8411 Voice Terminal User’s Guide, 555-201-115.
NOTE:
In order for the 8411 voice terminal to operate, the voice terminal must have
auxiliary power, either locally using an 1151A1 power supply or 1151A2
power supply with Battery Holdover or remotely using an 1145B1 closet
supply. Also, before the PassageWay connection can be set up, the exact
COM port number (that is, COM1, COM2, COM3, or COM4) to which the
8411 voice terminal is being connected must be identified.
Connecting an Analog Adjunct to the 8411 Voice Terminal
Through the Analog Adjunct RJ11C jack on the rear of the set, the 8411 voice
terminal provides connection with Analog Adjuncts such as answering machines,
fax machines, PC or laptop data/fax modem cards, data sets or modems, audio
teleconferencing equipment, and TTY machines commonly used by the hearing
impaired. On System 75, System 85, and DEFINITY G1 and G2 and DEFINITY
G3 prior to G3V4, Issue 3, the analog equipment shares the telephone line (or
I1-Channel) with the voice terminal. Therefore, while the telephone is being used,
you
cannot
use the Analog Adjunct at the same time, or vice versa. Beginning with
the DEFINITY G3V4, Issue 3 (and all later releases), the 8411 and Analog
Adjunct can use separate telephone lines (the I1-Channel and I2-Channel) and
thus the voice terminal and the Analog Adjunct can be used simultaneously.
The PassageWay Button (Button #9) and the Analog Adjunct Button
(Button #10)
The system manager may choose to option Button #9 on the 8411 voice terminal,
the next-to-last button in the second column, (see Figure 12-17 for the location of
this button) so that the red and green lights next to the button provide
PassageWay status information. (See “PassageWay Status Indications” later in
this section on the 8411.) If Button #9 is optioned in this manner, it is then disabled
and CANNOT be used as a call appearance button or feature button.
