7500
Assigns a 7500 Data Module. The 7500 data module supports 
automatic TEI, B-channel, maintenance and management 
messaging, and SPID initialization capabilities. BRI endpoints, 
both voice and/or data, are assigned to either the ISDN-BRI - 
4-wire S/T-NT Interface circuit pack or the ISDN-BRI - 2-wire 
U circuit pack. Each can support up to 12 ports. Since BRI 
provides multipoint capability, more than one ISDN endpoint 
(voice or data) can be administered on one port. For BRI, 
multipoint administration allows for telephones having SPID 
initialization capabilities, and can only be allowed if no 
endpoint administered on the same port is a fixed tie endpoint 
and no station on the same port has B-channel data capability. 
Currently, multipoint is restricted to 2 endpoints per port.
announcementAssigns an announcement data module. The announcement 
data module is built-in to the integrated announcement circuit 
pack and is administered using the Announcement Data 
Module screen. This data module (in conjunction with an 
administered Netcon Data Module in G3si configurations) 
allows the system to save and restore the recorded 
announcements file between the announcement circuit pack 
and the system memory.

data-lineAssigns a Data Line Data Module. The Data Line Data Module 
(DLDM) screen assigns ports on the Data Line circuit pack 
(DLC) that allows EIA 232C devices to connect to the system. 
The DLC, with a companion Asynchronous Data Unit (ADU), 
provides a less expensive data interface to the system than 
other asynchronous DCP data modules.
The DLC supports asynchronous transmissions at speeds of 
Low and 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, and 19200 bps over 
2-pair (full-duplex) lines. These lines can have different 
lengths, depending on the transmission speed and wire gauge.
The DLC has 8 ports. The connection from the port to the EIA 
device is direct, meaning that no multiplexing is involved. A 
single port of the DLC is equivalent in functionality to a data 
module and a digital line port. The DLC appears as a data 
module to the Digital Terminal Equipment (DTE) and as a 
digital line port to the switch.
The DLC connects the following EIA 232C equipment to the 
system:
nPrinters
nNon-Intelligent Data Terminals
nIntelligent Terminals, Personal Computers (PCs)
nHost Computers
nInformation Systems Network (ISN), RS-232C Local 
Area Networks (LANs), or other data switches.
ethernetAssigns an Ethernet data module. The Ethernet Data Module 
screen assigns the 10BaseT port on the Control-LAN (C-Lan) 
circuit pack. This port provides a TCP/IP connection to 
network hub or LAN. Refer to DEFINITY ECS Administration 
for Network Connectivity for more information on Ethernet 
data modules.

netconAssigns a Netcon Data Module. Netcon data modules are the 
Processor Data Modules (PDMs) that are integrated into the 
system’s network control ports that provide asynchronous 
circuit switched interfaces to the maintenance and 
administration terminals, Hospitality journal printers, and CDR 
digital output. They are characterized by their special locations, 
that is, special port identifications.
NOTE:
The Netcon data module is only applicable to G3si 
configurations. For G3r and later configurations, use the 
system-port command.
pdmAssigns 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.

pppAssigns 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. Refer to DEFINITY ECS 
Administration for Network Connectivity for more information 
on Point-to-Point data modules.
procr-intfAssigns a Processor Interface Data Module. The Processor 
Interface data modules are the Processor Data Modules 
(PDMs) that are integrated into the system’s 
synchronous/asynchronous Processor Interface circuit pack 
ports.
NOTE:
The Processor Interface data module is applicable only to 
G3si configurations.
They are used to provide the following interfaces:
n3B/Call Management System (maximum of 1)
n3B/Message Server (maximum of 1)
nDistributed Communications System (maximum of 8)
nAUDIX (maximum of 1)
NOTE:
Not all maximums can be achieved at the same time
Connections for these interfaces are achieved via a digital line 
port and MPDM combination, and/or in the case of DCS or 
ISDN-PRI, via a DS1 interface. One direct EIA connection is 
available (labeled as Processor Interface on the back of the 
Control Cabinet) for simplex operation. When used, the 
physical channel assignment (see below) must be “01”. Use of 
the EIA connection eliminates the need for one digital line 
port/MPDM combination. Refer to DEFINITY ECS 
Administration for Network Connectivity for more information 
on Processor Interface data modules.
system-portAssigns a System Port Data Module. 
tdmAssigns a DTE interface for Processor/Trunk Data Modules.
