This Engineering Technical Information (ETI) Bulletin describes the steps necessary for connection and operation
of a Viking Fax Jack III and a Viking PathFinder (Phone/Data/Fax Switch) with the Electra Markll. Both products
can be used for the connection of fax machines, modems, and other data transmission devices. By connecting
these units to an incoming CO line, Voice calls can be routed to the Electra Markll. However, FadData calls will be
directed to appropriate devices. Thisallows multi-use of a CO line.
2. CONFIGURATIONS
Both products must be connected to the Electra Markll via a COI-E/EB ETU pot-t. Fax machines, modems, and
other data transmission devices are then connected directly to the Viking products. Fax machines may be G 1, G2,
G3, etc., type machines. An incoming call from a fax machine that provides CNG tones will be automatically
routed to the fax that is connected to the Viking product. An incoming call from a fax machine that does not
provide CNG tones will not be routed automatically. The call must be taken via telephone and transferred to the
fax machine by depressing “#,l” on the same line that the call came in on. Refer to the Viking Tchnical Practice
Notes that are provided with each of these products.
NOTE: Carrier Tone must be sent before incoming modem calls that are to be directed to the modem that is
connected to the Viking product. This can be accomplished by the digits dialed by the incoming modem,
followed by three pauses, then a string of 2s (a minimum of three 2s is recommended). The string must be
longer than the time required by the Telco to connect and ring the line.
If Carrier Tone is not sent, the call must be taken by telephone and transferred to the modem by depressing
“#, 2” on the same line that the call came in on.
3. PARTS REQUIRED
For connection of either the Viking Fax Jack III or the Viking PathFinder:
COWEB ETU
Viking Fax Jack III (Model FAXJ-300) or Viking PathFinder (Model PDF-l)
Modular Line Cords with RJll Connectors
NOTE 1: The Fax Jack III comes with a line cord to connect to the COI-E/EB port. Two additional line cords with
RJll connectors, allow connection of additional devices.
NOTE 2: The PathFinder requires one line cord to connect the unit to an COI-E/EB port. A maximum of three
additional line cords, with RJll connectors, allow connection of additional devices.
NOTE 3: Calls from Fax machines may require longer timers for CNG tones.
