Configuring an analog device
Analog device DNs are programmed in the same way as digital telephone DNs. However,
programming settings will vary, depending on the type of analog device and how it is
connected to the Business Communications Manager system.
There are two types of analog devices: voice and data communications. Refer to the
following table for examples of voice and data communication devices.
The following hardware components are used to connect analog devices to the Business
Communications Manager system.
• Analog Station Modules (GASM and ASM8)
Each ASM8/GASM connects up to eight analog devices on the Business Communications
Manager system.
• Analog Terminal Adapter (ATA2)
The ATA2 unit connects one analog device to the Business Communications Manager system
through a port on a Digital Station Module (DSM).
Refer to the following table to review feature availability based on the analog device type
and if it is connected to an Analog Station Module (GASM or ASM8) or to an ATA2.
