							Serial Port (Serial Data Port Parameters)
Description:The DXP Plus provides two serial data ports on the CPU board and dedicates them to PC-based
programming and the remote maintenance modem. You or your installer can add up to 16
additional serial data ports to the system for interfacing such items as open architecture
interface applications, PC attendant positions, and the SMDA data printer. Add these serial data
ports by installing communications cards on the services board, the expansion cabinet interface
board, and the main cabinet’s auxiliary board. Each of these boards will accept two
communications cards in its lower two slots.
The DXP 
Plus supports a maximum of 18 serial data ports. Serial data ports 1 and 2 are the
dedicated ports provided by the cpu board while communications cards provide the remaining
16 undedicated ports (serial data ports 3-18). The system designates serial data ports 3-18 to
specific locations as detailed in the following chart.
Serial data ports 3-10Lower two slots on the services board
Serial data ports 11-18Lower two slots on one of the three following locations:
- the interface board installed in expansion cabinet 1,
-the interface board installed in expansion cabinet 2,
-the auxiliary board installed in the main cabinet.
* The full compliment of 16 undedicated serial data ports requires four installed
communications cards.
There are programming actions that you take to provide serial data port operation. You must
match the data port number with the installation location that you choose for the
communications card. You can change the baud rates, data bits, stop bits, parity, and flow
control for each serial data port in the system to match the data device that you connect there.
The serial data parameters that you set using this procedure remain in effect until you reprogram
them. The settings will not change even if you perform a master clear of the system.
The maximum available serial data baud rate is dependent upon the location of the
communications card. For cards located on the services board, the maximum baud rate is 19200
baud. For cards located on the auxiliary board or on the interface boards, the maximum baud
rate is 9600 baud.
There are some limitations involved.If a device is transmitting 
/ receiving from the DXP Plus
at a high rate, engineering sources recommend the use of a communications protocol (RTS /
CTS or XON / XOFF) to prevent buffer overrun and data loss.

6.6Speed Dial Programming
6.6. IPause TimeDescription:
During speed dialing, it is sometimes necessary to have the system delay the sending of digits to
give host system switching equipment time to prepare to receive them. A pause, stored in the
speed dial number, provides this delay. This programming procedure determines the duration of
the pause.The person who stores the speed dial number must press the telephone’s HOLD
button at the point in the number digit sequence where he or she needs the pause (for example,
9-pause-18049782200).
Programming:1. Press CONTROL T for main menu.
2. From main menu, select system and press ENTER.

6.6.2Speed Dial GroupsDescription:
The system provides 500 system speed dial numbers. These numbers are divided into 50 groups
with 10 numbers available in each group. Assign none, one, or a range of groups (n-nn) to each
station class of service. Also refer to Section 6.6.4.

A speed dial set is a group of 10 speed dial locations. The system allocates one speed dial set to
each telephone as a default but you can allocate up to 10 sets to a telephone if you wish. When
a 
DSWBLF console is operated as a companion to a telephone, you can allocate speed dial sets
at the companion telephone that the system will then share with the console. The system
reserves one speed dial set for the telephone’s dial pad buttons O-9.Programming:

+Kc, #, Hookflash
signalling, and pauses. Also refer to Sections 6.6.2 and 12.6.
Beginning with software release 8.B, you can alternately choose the intercom to be
automatically selected for speed dialing. This enhancement allows you to store intercom
selection along with feature codes as speed dial numbers for true one-button access to features
(for example; store INTERCOM %l 1 and INTERCOM #l at two locations for system wide
availability to music on and music off). This enhancement will not accept 
WKW or ##746+# as
