Data Stations
NOTE:
The analog voice and modem data station requires a bridging
adapter to connect the telephone to the two adjacent analog
extension jacks.
The terminal adapter data-only station requires a terminating
resistor adapter to connect the terminal adapter to the MLX
extension jack.
See “Video Conferencing Data Stations,” later in this chapter, for
configuration details on stations including video codecs.
The cord length from the terminal adapter to the telephone cannot
be more than 80 ft. (24 m).
Do not connect two terminal adapters on one line.
Modem Data Stations
A modem data station uses a modem to convert digital signals so that it
can send and receive analog signals. This type of station allows data
communication without PRI facilities.
The system supports the types of modem data stations listed below.
■ Analog Voice and Modem Data. This station includes a data
terminal and an analog multiline telephone.
■ Modem Data-Only. This station includes a data terminal and
modem. If this station’s modem has a phone jack, you can
connect a single-line telephone; however, voice and data at the
same time are not possible.
■ MLX Voice and Modem Data. This station includes a data
terminal, a modem, and an MLX telephone.
