Telephone Connections
Two “voice” or POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) ports are
provided for connecting telephone equipment such as telephones,
answering machines, faxes, or modems to the WEBGLIDER. These
ports are labelled ‘AUX 1’ and ‘AUX 2’. Each port supports
multiple telephone-type devices up to a Ringer Equivalence
Number (REN) of two. The WEBGLIDER allows both lines to be
used at the same time for two simultaneous “voice” calls, if no
data call is present. If a data call is present, you can only use one
AUX line.
Power Connection
Power for the WEBGLIDER is provided by an external power
supply. The power supply is attached to the connector (marked
‘PWR’) on the back panel. The WEBGLIDER does not draw power
from the ISDN network. So, if there is no power to the
WEBGLIDER, then the telephone ports will not work.
Typical Configuration
The illustration on page 6 shows a typical WEBGLIDER
configuration with a PC, a telephone, and a fax machine connected
to an ISDN line. If you have an analog modem, assign DN 2 to the
AUX1 port, exclusively for that modem. This will allow you to
establish either an analog modem call, or a voice call, using a
handset plugged into the modem. You can then:
• make a voice call on AUX1 while using the RS-232 port (DN1)
for a data connection to collaborate (with document conferencing
software) on the same document, or
• engage in two-player remote game playing with simultaneous
voice (on AUX1) and data (on RS-232), or
• do an analog data download (on AUX1) simultaneously with
an ISDN digital download (on RS-232), using DN1.
