PC/PBX and PC/PBX MicroChannel Platforms
The PC/PBX platforms provide standalone PC users with a fully integrated
networking solution that brings the benefits of high-speed, error free digital
communications to the desktop. The PC/PBX platform supports existing
configurations in which both the voice terminal and the PC are connected to the
PBX via a single DCP line.
The PC/PBX MicroChannel Architecture platform is the same as the PC/PBX
platform, but is intended for use with the IBM PS/2 Model 50 and above.
Applications
The platforms are ideal for professionals and managers who perform many
different tasks during the day. The platform architecture permits different PC
applications to access its resources alternatively or simultaneously. The PC/PBX
Platforms support the 7400 Series voice terminals.
Potentially, a user could hold a voice conversation, be asynchronously connected
to a host or PC, or conduct a 64 kbps 3270 session to a mainframe over a single
twisted-pair connection. This eliminates the need for such multiple PC
communications adapters as modems and coax cards.
Capabilities
Used in conjunction with PC applications software, the PC/PBX Platform provides
the hardware architecture at the desktop for:
■ High-speed PC-to-PC communication
■ Access to asynchronous host environments
■ Access to the synchronous 3270 environment
■ Advanced telephone management capabilities
The PC/PBX Platform can also run the PC/PBX Connection software for
integrating voice and data applications at the desktop. Thus, the platform supports
all of the following:
■ Synchronous communication via 3270 emulation with file transfer
capabilities
■ Asynchronous communication via VT
®
100, VT102, and 4410 terminal
emulation at speeds up to 19.2 kbps
■ Digital Multiplexed Interface (DMI) connectivity at 64 kbps
■ High-speed PC-to-PC communication for error-free file transfers at speeds
up to 64 kbps via such standard asynchronous file transfer protocols as
XMODEM and KERMIT
