7400B Plus Data Module

[PeaveyPhones]

Anyone know what the dip switch settings should be for this DM that I use (with my PC and DSA software) to connect to the PBX?

mrbuckeye,
I would like to help, but due to errors in your syntax, I can't figure out what you are asking.

Remember the movie Cool Hand Luke? "Whaat we have heeear, is troubllle to communicate" I CAN see your message, and THAT IS the problem.
"Just had a customer whose 7400B Plus go bad."
I guess you mean your customer had a unit that went bad.
"They were using it for a Terminal to get BCMS reports"
You mean they were using it in conjunction with a dumb terminal or a PC with DSA/ASA software to get reports?
"I got a re-furb one to work on."
To work on? To replace the bad one I suppose.
"How do i connect to my G3V6i.03.2.239.3 system."
Now that I’m finished being a smart a*s…. It just drives me crazy when otherwise intelligent grown ups can’t communicate in English.

To your problem, if they were already connected, and the data module just stopped working, then you're most of the way there. You should be able to just make the dip switch setting in the re-furbed unit the same as in the unit that was previously working. But, my experience has not proven this to be the case. I really need to know about the dumb terminal or PC issue to even go forward.

The 7400 Data Modules use the Hayes command set. Try typing atdt and press return. The terminal or emulator should say OK. Find out what the netcon hunt group is in the switch by doing a 'list hunt-group'. If you don't find a hunt group do a 'list data-module' and look for entries type 'netcon'. These are the gateway ports to the processor. You should be able to type atdt<data mod ext> and get a login prompt.

Hi 4merAvaya,

Thank you you have answered my question. I got it.
Really appreciate your help.

Hi Richard and 4merAvaya,

The Customer has dumb terminal. But at my office it is a PC with a terminal application like Procomm Plus.

If i need to use a dumb terminal, would the dialing of "ATDT <netcon #>" be programmed on the Data module, if so how would i do that.

Thanks in Advance.

Just type it on the keyboard.

Kevin,

Thanks.

I will have the data module shipped to site. Have the customer do that.

The initial problem they had was that there was no login prompt showing up on the Dumb Terminal. Since remote trouble shoot could not fix, asking the customer to ship the defective one here for me to test. Will know when I get it.

Hi Kevin,

Really appreciate you help. It worked. The customer is able to log on using the Dumb Terminal by typing "atdt XXXX".

Thanks.
