The PassageWay Connection
The EIA RS-232 type jack on your 8411 voice terminal provides you with an interface between
the voice terminal and the COM port on an IBM-compatible personal computer. This interface
allows you to access Lucent Technologies PassageWay Solution software which you can install
on your PC.
For more information on installing and using PassageWay Solution with your 8411 voice
terminal, read the information contained in the PassageWay® Direction Connection Solution For

Connection with Analog Equipment
Through the Analog Adjunct RJ11C jack on the rear of the set, the 8411 voice terminal provides
connection with Analog Adjuncts such as answering machines, fax machines, PC or laptop data/
fax modem cards, data sets or modems, audio teleconferencing equipment, and TTY machines
commonly used by the hearing impaired. On System 75, System 85, and the DEFINITY ECS G1
and G2 switches and DEFINITY ECS G3 releases prior to G3V4, Issue 3 (your system manager
can tell you to which switch your voice terminal is connected), the analog equipment shares the
telephone line with the voice terminal. Therefore, while the telephone is being used, you cannot
use the Analog Adjunct at the same time, or vice versa. On
the DEFINITY ECS G3V4, Issue 3 and later, the 8411 and the Analog Adjunct can be assigned
separate telephone lines, and thus the voice terminal and Analog Adjunct can be used
simultaneously.
The PassageWay Button (Button #9) and the Analog Adjunct Status Button
(Button #10)
The system manager may choose to option Button #9 on the 8411 voice terminal, the next-to-last
button in the second column (see Figure 1 for button numbering), so that the red and green lights
next to the button provide PassageWay status information. (See “PassageWay Status Indications”
below.) If Button #9 is optioned in this manner, it is then disabled and CANNOT be used as a call
appearance button.
The system manager may also choose to option Button #10 (again, see Figure 1 for its location)
so that its adjacent red and green lights provide Analog Adjunct status information. (See “Analog
Adjunct Status Indications” on the next page.) If Button #10 is optioned in this way, the button’s
function changes from a call appearance button to a local button that can be used to send a
disconnect signal to the analog adjunct. (See “Sharing the 8411 Telephone Line with the Analog
Adjunct” later in this section.)
Notes: If optioned by the system manager, the light indications next to these two buttons go on
and off automatically.
If these buttons are optioned for PassageWay and Analog Adjunct status,
Button #9 is always used to monitor PassageWay, and Button #10 is always used to monitor the
Analog Adjunct.
You can also perform a diagnostics test of the PassageWay connection and the status of the
Analog Adjunct by pressing and then
. These two button presses will activate
the red and green lights next to Buttons #9 and #10 to show the status of the PassageWay and
Analog Adjunct connections.
