transmission. See the customer’s system administrator if you
are not sure.
2. Make sure that the modem option settings for speed and parity are
compatible with those of the data terminal. If you are not sure, see the
customer’s system administrator or the documentation packaged with
the modem and data terminal.

channel.
4. Connect the MLX telephone to the control unit:
