USING THE RS-232-D JACK AND ANALOG ADJUNCT JACK
ON THE 8411
See Figure 3 in the front of this manual for a drawing of the rear of the 8411 voice
terminal. You can use the RS-232-D jack for connecting the 8411 to a PC for use
with PassageWay Solution software. The Analog Adjunct jack can be used for
connecting an answering machine, fax machine, modems, audio teleconferencing
equipment or TTY machines commonly used by the hearing impaired.
Important Notes for the 8411
• Your 8411 must have auxiliary power, either locally using an MSP-1 or an
1151A1 or A2, or remotely using an 1145B1 closet supply.
• Before you set up your PassageWay connection, you must know which COM port
number (that is, COM1, COM2, COM3, or COM4) to which you are connecting
your 8411 voice terminal.
• On System 75 and System 85 switches, and a DEFINITY Generic 1, Generic 2,
and Generic 3 prior to G3V4, Issue 3, the Analog Adjunct connected to the 8411
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.
Beginning with DEFINITY G3V4, Issue 3, the telephone and Analog Adjunct can
use separate telephone lines and thus the voice terminal and the Analog Adjunct
can be used simultaneously.
To connect your 8411 to the PassageWay PC
1. Make sure that the PC is turned off.
2. Unplug the line cord from the modular wall jack or the auxiliary power supply,
if necessary.
3. Connect one end of the 25-pin cord to the RS-232-D jack on the rear of the 8411
voice terminal.
4. Connect the other end of the cord to the serial (COM) port on
the PC.
NOTE: You may need a 25-pin to 9-pin adapter in order to make this
connection.
5. Connect, or reconnect, the line cord from the “LINE” jack on the voice terminal
to the modular wall jack or the auxiliary power supply.
6. Turn on your PC.
