Basic data call configuration
The Meridian Data Services features support a wide range of dial-up data
communication activities. These applications fall into different basic
categories based on equipment configuration. These categories are
designated as follows:
•
Local Terminal to Terminal activities involve in-house communication
between intelligent terminals, display terminals, and data entry devices.
Word processor communication and conversational information
exchange fall into this category (Figure 1).
•
Terminal to Terminal Computer Port configurations support applications
such as distributed data processing, time-shared computing, and
inquiry/response (Figure 2).
•
Terminal to Remote Device applications involve the use of a modem
pool to access analog lines for external data communications. The
Meridian 1 permits external data calling on facilities also used for voice
communications, such as WATS, FX and TIE lines (Figure 3).
