PC Interface
The PC Interface consists of the PC/ISDN Platform product family. These
products are used with Avaya MultiVantage to provide users of IBM-compatible
PCs fully-integrated voice and data workstation capabilities.
Detailed description
Two groups of different configurations are available for PC Interface: group 1
uses DCP and group 2 uses the ISDN-BRI (Basic Rate Interface) protocol.
The group 1 configurations consist of DCP configurations that use a PC/PBX
Interface card (formerly DCP expansion card) in the PC to link to the switch.
Group 1 (shown in Figure 62 on page 1791) uses the following connections:
■ The PC Interface card plugs into an expansion slot on the PC. The card has
2 standard 8-pin modular jacks (line and phone).
■ The digital phone plugs into the phone jack on the PC Interface card.
■ The line jack on the card provides a digital port connection to Avaya
MultiVantage.
■ The distance between the PC Interface card and the PBX should be no
more than 1524m for 24-gauge wire or 1219m for 26-gauge wire.
