Transfer To Data
Data Call Preindication
A multiline voice terminal user, by going off-hook and pressing an idle DATA button, may
indicate that a data call will be attempted. This reserves the associated data port and a
modem pool conversion resource.
This procedure is recommended when the data call is a
trunk call. The data port reservation is acknowledged by a winking status LED at the DATA
button. Subsequently, invoking Transfer To Data transfers the call to the associated data
terminal.
Preindication is canceled:
● If the user goes on-hook before transferring the call to data
● If the user preindicates on a second DATA button
● If, after dialing is complete, a second DATA button is pressed. Preindication is
canceled for the first data terminal and the data call is transferred to the second data
terminal.
When Preindication is canceled, the associated pooled modem conversion resource
reservation is canceled.
Interactions
The following feature interacts with Transfer To Data.
Modern Pooling: If a conversion resource is required on an external call, invoking Data Call
Preindication will cause a pooled modem conversion resource to be reserved. If none is
available (e.g., the system has no Pooled Modem CP), Reorder Tone is provided. (This will
occur whether a conversion resource is actually required or not.)
