DataTalker Owner’s Manual
4.1 Introduction
This chapter describes what to expect in your DataTalker shipping box, then describes how to
configure the DataTalker. It provides a helpful configuration summary to give you a snapshot of
how your unit is set up; summarizes options you should consider when configuring the data
channel, router port, voice/fax channel, and composite link; and then guides you step by step
through the initial configuration procedure.
4.2 Unpacking
The shipping box contains the DataTalker, an external power supply (if it is a desktop model), a
plastic bag containing the cables, and the Owner’s Manual. Additional manuals may be included
for options such as an internal link device. Inspect the contents for signs of any shipping damage.
If damage is observed, do not power up the unit; contact Multi-Tech’s Technical Support for
advice (see Chapter 8). If no damage is observed, configure the DataTalker using the information
in this chapter.
