3Com SuperStack 3 NBX - Connecting and Managing Analog Devices; Adding a 4-Port Analog Terminal Card

222 CHAPTER 3: DEVICE CONFIGURATION
Connecting and
Managing Analog
Devices
A 4-Port Analog Terminal Card or a Single-Port Analog Terminal Adapter
(ATA) allows ordinary analog (2500-series compliant) telephones,
including cordless telephones and Group-3 facsimile devices, to operate
with NBX systems.
Certain limitations apply because of the differences between an analog
device and the custom NBX Telephone:
■ A user dials 500, then ** on a telephone connected to an ATA to gain
access to voice mail.
■ A telephone can make or answer only one call. The second incoming
call goes to voice mail.
■ ATC ports and ATAs support call transfer.
This section discusses these topics:
■ Adding a 4-Port Analog Terminal Card
■ Adding a Single-Port Analog Terminal Adapter (ATA)
■ Modifying an Analog Terminal Port
■ Removing an Analog Terminal Adapter
■ Viewing The Status of an Analog Terminal Adapter
Adding a 4-Port
Analog Terminal Card
To add a 4-Port Analog Terminal Card to the NBX system using
Auto Discovery:
1 In the NBX NetSet - Main Menu window, click System Configuration. The
System Configuration dialog box (Figure 70
) appears.
2 Click System-wide. The System Settings dialog box (Figure 71
) appears.
3 Click the Auto Discover Telephones check box to select it.
4 Click OK.
5 Insert the 4-Port Analog Terminal Card into the chassis.
6 Wait 1 minute for the system to discover the card.
7 In the NBX NetSet - Main Menu window, click Device Configuration.
8 In the Device Configuration dialog box, click the ATA tab. (See Figure 76
.)
9 The four ports of the 4-Port Analog Terminal Card appear in the list of
ATAs, along with the ports of any previously discovered 4-Port Analog
Terminal Cards, and any previously discovered Single-Port Analog
Terminal Adapters (ATAs).
