The group 2 configurations link to the server using a PC/ISDN Interface card installed in the PC. This
group can include a stand-alone PC terminal, or up to 4 telephones, handsets, or headsets. Group 2
(shown in
Figure 47, ISDN—BRI PC interface configuration (Group 2),
on page 440) uses PC/ISDN
Interface cards (up to four cards) which plug into expansion slots on the PC. These cards each provide 2
standard 8-pin modular-jack connections for both line connections (to the server or media server) and
phone connections. A standard 4-pin modular jack is also available for use with a handset or headset.
Figure 47: ISDN—BRI PC interface configuration (Group 2)
PC Interface users have multiple appearances (depending on the software application used) for their
assigned extension. Designate one or more of these appearances for use with data calls. With the
ISDN-BRI version, you can use up to 4 separate PC/ISDN Interface cards on the same PC. Assign each
card a separate extension, and assign each extension one or more appearances. The availability of specific
features depends on the COS of the extension and the COS for Communication Manager. Modem
Pooling is provided to ensure general availability of off-net data-calling services.
