The Grand Tour Integrated Data Interface Unit (RPCI-DI) Strata DK PC/Data Interface 5/993 RPCI-DI Buttons and LEDs In system programming, the data telephone can be assigned data feature buttons shown below. Table 1 Data Feature Buttons ButtonDescription DWD&DOO Enables a connection between the digital telephone’s RPCI-DI to another DIU in the system when manually dialing from the telephone. When DWD&DOOis pressed on an idle data telephone, the system sends intercom dial tone to the telephone to prompt dialing. DWD&DOOalso can be used to switch data telephones and CO lines from voice to data on external calls. The Data Call LED lights when you receive a data call from another data telephone or when you make a call from your data telephone, PC, or ASCII terminal. The Data Call LED is always red when ON. DWD5HOHDVHTerminates data calls. The Data Release LED never illuminates. 0RGHP Reserves a system modem for 60 seconds. If a modem is not accessed within this time limit, press this button again to reserve for another 60 seconds. A flashing Modem LED indicates that a modem is currently reserved for your telephone; a continuously lit LED indicates that you have accessed a modem or that all modems are busy. The Modem LED is always red when ON or flashing. RPCI-DI RS-232 Connector 0601 Figure 1 Data Telephone (Integrated DIU) Connector

The Grand Tour Integrated Data Interface Unit (RPCI-DI) 4Strata DK PC/Data Interface 5/99 RPCI-DI Data Connections See the Strata DK I&M Manual for detailed installation instructions. If a data terminal is connected to a data telephone, the terminal must be an ASCII type with a standard keyboard and a display screen or printer display. If a PC is connected to a data telephone, the PC must be running at least one of the following types of programs: word processor, desk organizer dialer, or communications software. Also, the PC must be active (on-line) on its COM port connected to the data telephone’s RPCI-DI. NoteIt is not possible to establish data call connections from your PC DOS prompt. The data telephone is connected to the PC serial communications port (COMX, where X = 1, 2, 3, or 4) or terminal with an RS-232 cable and connector. It is connected to the Strata DK system like any other digital telephone with a modular cord.

The Grand Tour Stand-alone Data Interface Unit (PDIU-DS) Connections Strata DK PC/Data Interface 5/995 Stand-alone Data Interface Unit (PDIU-DS) Connections Data devices, such as printers, modems, mainframe computers, etc., must be connected to a PDIU-DS with an RS-232 cable and connector. An RS-232 connector is below (see Figure 2). Figure 2 Stand-alone DIU Connector See the Strata DK I&M Manual for detailed installation instructions. Note lThe PDIU-DS must be connected to the Strata DK system with a modular cord. Similar to a regular station, the PDIU-DS is assigned a station number. lToshiba recommends connecting the line sides of the modems to standard telephone ports to ensure access to the complete set of modem pooling features. Connecting the modems to a dedicated CO line may not allow access to the whole set. 1234DNT4ON RS-232 Connector 0603

The Grand Tour Communication Parameters Strata DK PC/Data Interface 5/997 Communication Parameters Before a data connection is established, the communication parameters—data speed (baud rate or bps), parity, data bits, stop bits—of the terminal or PC must be the same as the data device that is calling or being called. The PC communication parameters are set with MS-DOS MODE commands. äTo set the PC Communication parameters Communication parameter options are shown in Ta b l e 3. äEnter MODE LPTx:=COMx (x = 1, 2, 3, or 4)Use this parameter, if you connect to your printer via an RPCI to DIU-DS data call connection. ...or MODE COMx: baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits Notes lToshiba recommends entering these MODE command lines into the DOS AUTOEXEC.BAT file, in most cases. lThe COM port number and communication parameters must be set to allow proper operation of data calls in most communications, desktop, and word processor software.

Strata DK PC/Data Interface 5/999 Features2 This chapter explains how to use your data telephone to connect to other data devices, such as an internal printer, modem pool, or mainframe computer. It also explains how to originate and answer simultaneous voice and data transmissions from your telephone or another telephone. Data Call to Internal Printer or Other Data Device If using a PC, data calls to printers can be connected anytime while running a word processor, spread sheet, or database program. This procedure can also be used to make data calls to other internal data devices, such as modems or mainframe computers, that are connected to stand-alone DIUs. A communications software program is generally required for these types of internal data calls. Before making your call, verify that the communication parameters of your PC or terminal match those of the printer or data device you are calling.

Features Data Call to Another Internal Data Telephone’s PC or Terminal 10Strata DK PC/Data Interface 5/99 äTo call a data device äTo terminate the call Data Call to Another Internal Data Telephone’s PC or Terminal PCs involved in this call must be running a communications software program. Before making this call, verify that the communication parameters of your PC or terminal match those of the PC or terminal that you are calling. The following instructions work with typical communications software programs. Higher-level software may integrate these low-level communications dialing commands to provide more automated operation.1. Press DWD&DOOon your data telephone.The Data Call, Spkr, and Mic (see note) LEDs turn ON (red); and the [DN] LED turns ON (green). The data telephone receives internal dial tone. NoteDepending on system programming, the Mic LED may or may not turn ON. 2. Enter the station number of the DIU connected to the printer.The Spkr, Mic, and [DN] LEDs turn OFF; the Data Call LED remains ON (red). If busy, press DWD5HOHDVHand try again; if busy tone is not received, the call is connected. 3. Print the data. The data can be printed using your terminal or PC software program. äPress DWD5HOHDVH on your data telephone.The Data Call LED turns OFF and the call is terminated.

Features Data Call to Another Internal Data Telephone’s PC or Terminal Strata DK PC/Data Interface 5/9911 äTo verify communications from your PC or terminal äTo call from your PC or terminaläType AT and then press Enter on your PC or terminal. Type AT commands as capital letters (use caps lock).AT commands appear on your PC or terminal as you type them. Wait for this display: The above display verifies that communications exist between your PC or terminal and your data telephone. The Data Call LED turns ON (red) after you press Enter . 1. Type ATDD , the [PDN] of the other data telephone, and then press Enter . If “BUSY” displays on your screen, the call automatically terminates. You can then try again.Wait for this display: This display indicates that a connection has been established between the called and calling terminals and/or PCs. XXXX = data transmission speed YYY = called data telephone number The [DN] of a data telephone’s RPCI-DI is the same as its voice [PDN]. Example: If the other data telephone’s [PDN] is 209, type ATDD209 and press Enter. (ATDD is the DIU command for data call dialing, and 209 represents the [PDN] of the other data telephone). 2. Exchange data. The data can be exchanged using your terminal or PC software program as required. AT OK ATDDYYY CONNECTXXXX
