AT&T 1987 AT&T Telephone User Manual


 
Terminal Dialing provides the user with fast access to data communications via
keyboard dialing at a terminal or PC.
Command Mode provides a menu of data services supporting terminal dialing, and
display and control of user data port options.
A user friendly Change Options menu
is provided for user administration of data options.
Expert Mode is an enhancement that provides an alternative method of accessing
Command Mode functions. Expert Mode eliminates the display of menus and allows
multiple commands to be entered on a single line.
Expert mode lends itself well to
computer-driven scripts for call setup.
Communication Access Manager (CAM) is an MS-DOS* software application that
provides a phone manager for placing voice and data calls for the user and VT100†
terminal emulation.
CAM may be used on either STARLAN NETWORK client
workstations or on PCs connected to System 25. CAM has a 200-entry directory with
one-touch dialing for both voice and data calls and auto-login capability for data calls
to host computers.
CAM’s Remote Access feature provides password protected
unattended access to PC files and electronic mail. File transfer is supported with the
popular XMODEM protocol.
STARLAN NETWORK ACCESS is an MS-DOS application that allows PCs not
connected to the STARLAN NETWORK to call through the System 25 STARLAN
NETWORK Interface and run STARLAN NETWORK client software to access file
and printer servers on the STARLAN NETWORK. ACCESS uses a PC’s serial
communications port to communicate with the STARLAN NETWORK Interface.
ACCESS is compatible with NETBIOS, permitting execution of most applications
written for the IBM‡ PC Network and IBM Token Ring Network.
Growth & Rearrangement
Historical data indicates that clients in the System 25 station range have a need for
communications systems capable of significant growth and rearrangement. Clients need
flexibility over the life of the system to easily add capacity, move stations, modify cost
control options, etc.
The architecture of System 25 was implemented with the objective of
meeting this need.
Advanced Administration (optional) is an easy-to-use, menu driven personal computer
software package for configuring the rich set of system options.
Uniform Wiring Plan (four-pair) allows a building to be prewired for the rich set of
AT&T Small Business PBX service offerings. This modular wiring plan supports client
reconfiguration of an office with variations in station type (Analog, MET, MERLIN,
futures) and data configurations (LAN, asynchronous, synchronous). It supports
simultaneous voice and data from standard four-pair modular jacks.
System 25/75/85V2 Standard Architecture supports efficient growth with modular
cabinets, universal carrier slots, non-blocking network and uniform wiring plan. (See
