Description
Automated Modem Pooling
Description This feature is only applicable when QMT8 (vintage D11) and
higher numbered SADM are used to form the ADM/Modem pair.
With AMP, available as an option in X11 release 5, the ADM/Modem pair
information is organized in pool lists that contain similar modems, for speed
and other options, to be accessed for use with compatible dataports.
AMP allows access to local and remote data stations using ADM/Modem
pairs by a one-step dialing procedure. It is dependent upon the ADM trunk
group hunting feature in its selection of modems and dataports.
AMP is able to distinguish between inbound and outbound ringing
requirements. Therefore a special MPLC and separate outbound and inbound
pools are no longer required.
With AMP, the service changes to pair the ADM and modem together
eliminates the VFDN switch and the AUTO DIAL simulation requirements.
Outbound AMP
The Outbound AMP application replaces the manual three-step method of
accessing modems with a one-step dialing procedure. Two different dialing
procedures are available:
•
Prefix dialing method
•
Default method
With the Prefix dialing method, the user dials a Modem Selection Prefix of
1 to 4 digits, a trunk access code that is used to route the call and the remote
computer DN.
With the default method, it is assumed that the data user normally wishes to
connect to the same modem pool for every call. In this case the Modem
Selection Prefix is stored against the user’s TN and the user only needs to dial
the trunk access code and the remote computer DN.
A user may use either method to automatically access and connect the
modem. The stored Default Modem Selection Prefix can always be
overridden by dialing another Modem Selection Prefix.
