pdm
Assigns a DCE interface for Processor/Trunk Data
Modules. These screens assign Modular Processor Data
Modules (MPDMs) and Modular Trunk Data Modules
(MTDMs). One screen is required for assigning MPDMs
(700D), 7400B, 7400D or 8400B Data Module, and
another screen for MTDMs (700B, 700C, 700E, 7400A).
One screen must be completed for each MPDM, 7400B,
7400D, 8400B or MTDM.
The MPDM, 7400B, or 8400B Data Module provides a
Data Communications Equipment (DCE) interface for
connection to equipment such as data terminals, CDR
output devices, on-premises administration terminal,
Message Server, Property Management System (PMS),
AUDIX, and host computers. It also provides a Digital
Communications Protocol (DCP) interface to the digital
switch. (DCE is the equipment on the network side of a
communications link that provides all the functions
required to make the binary serial data from the source or
transmitter compatible with the communications channel.)
The MTDM provides an Electronic Industries Association
(EIA) Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) interface for
connection to off-premises private line trunk facilities or a
switched telecommunications network and a DCP
interface for connection to the digital switch. (DTE is the
equipment comprising the endpoints in a connection over
a data circuit. For example, in a connection between a data
terminal and a host computer, the terminal, the host, and
their associated modems or data modules make up the
DTE.) The MTDM or 7400A Data Module also can serve
as part of a conversion resource for Combined Modem
Pooling.
ppp
Assigns a Point-to-Point Protocol data module. The PPP
Data Module screen assigns a synchronous TCP/IP port on
the C-Lan. These ports are tailored to provide TCP/IP
connections for use over telephone lines. See
Administration for Network Connectivity for Avaya
MultiVantage™ Software for more information on
Point-to-Point data modules.
