Congratulations on the addition of an Asynchronous Data Module (ADM II) to your AT&T
Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) set. Following our tradition of excellent quality and
high reliability, the ADM is designed to provide you with the latest in telecommunications
technology (Figure 1).
Introduction
FIGURE 1-1
Rear View of Terminal with and without ADM
AT&T’s ISDN voice terminals with the addition of the ADM provide you with simultaneous
voice and data communications capabilities in one unit. As a telephone, the ISDN voice terminal
offers programmable buttons, fixed feature buttons, and a message indicator. The addition of the
ADM allows attached data terminals or personal computers to send and receive data through an
ISDN network. This user’s manual applies to AT&T’s third generation of ADM products,
referred to as Feature Package 3 (FP-3).*
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
* FP-3 is the first feature package designed for use with ADM II hardware. FP-1 and FP-2 were designed for use
with ADM I hardware. FP-3 can only be installed into an older FP-1 or FP-2 (ADM I) set if the ADM I circuit
board is replaced with an ADM II circuit board.
Introduction 1-1
Data Features
ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
Asynchronous full-duplex operation at data rates from 1200 bits per second (bps) to 57.6
kilobits per second (Kbps) through an EIA-232-D interface.
X.25 packet switched data communication including receipt of X.29 commands from a
remote X.25 host for setting packet switched data parameters.
Circuit switched data communication over 56 or 64 Kbps facilities via industry standard
V.120 rate adaption protocol.
Circuit switched data communication over 64 Kbps facilities via AT&T’s DMI Mode 2 or
Mode 3 rate adaption protocols.
A user friendly command interface with on-screen help, nine programmable named data
memory numbers, and four programmable data option profiles.
A standard AT command set interface for compatibility with applications which require this
command format.
Remote and local loopback tests.
Voice Terminal Control Features
With ADM II and Feature Package 3, your ISDN set also features the Application Programming
Interface (API). This interface allows PC communications software to be used to enhance the
operability of your ISDN set. For example, the API allows a PC communications package
complete control of your ISDN set, from dialing a voice call to answering a voice call.
Some of the many things that an application program running in a PC can accomplish through the
Application Programming Interface include:
A "call screening" feature that examines the calling party number and uses a distinctive ring
based on who is calling. This allows prioritization of your incoming calls.
An automated personal phone book that looks up the number and places a call to the
specified person. The application also puts any notes about the person being called on the
computer screen so that it provides the information you need when you need it.
An automated data lookup that identifies an incoming call and searches for any data
available on the caller. The information is available on a timely basis so that you are
knowledgeable about the incoming call when you answer the telephone.
An automatic redial feature that will retry a busy telephone number and signal you when the
call goes through so that you do not have to waste time constantly redialing.
An automatic conference feature will set up a conference between several parties without the
inconvenience of looking up several numbers and placing several calls.
A variable call forwarding feature prompts the user for a name, retrieves the number from a
data base, and activates call forwarding to that number.
Any of these things, and more, could be happening simultaneously with a data call.
For more information on this interface refer to the Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN)
Application Programming Interface (API) Programmer’s Manual, document number
533-705-200. You can order copies of this manual by calling the AT&T Customer Information
Center at 1-800-432-6600.

The System Administrator: An Important Note to All
ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
Users
Throughout this manual, we ask you to speak to your "system administrator." In your company,
it is the person who has been given overall responsibility for the ISDN — including all terminals
as well as the system. His or her title may vary from business to business. It may be "systems
manager," "telecommunications manager," "data communications manager," or something more
unique to your company.
We recommend you write down the name and the phone number of your system administrator.
Your ADM is intended for use with the AT&T 5ESSswitch. This system supports both X.25
packet switched data communication and circuit switched data communication. For X.25 packet
switched data, the system supports either dialed-up data calls (X.25 virtual circuit) or a
permanent connection (X.25 permanent virtual circuit). For circuit switched data, the system
supports only dialed-up data calls. Your ADM supports only one data call at a time, either circuit
or packet switched.
Your ADM rate adapts circuit switched data calls onto 56 or 64 Kbps channels. This is true
regardless of the asynchronous data rate of the EIA-232-D interface. Therefore communication
circuit switched data directly between two ISDN networks requires digital connectivity between
the switching systems.

1-4 Chapter 1
ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
This chapter explains how to prepare your Asynchronous Data Module (ADM) for data
operations and how to make data calls.
Communicating With The ADM
ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
You can "talk" to the ADM through an attached data terminal by means of commands typed on
the terminal’s keyboard. There are two types of commands that can be used to talk to the ADM:
CMD and AT. CMD is the preferred method of talking to the ADM. However, if you have a
personal computer and you are using a communications package, you may need to use AT
commands because that may be the only command form that the package understands. A more
detailed explanation of these commands can be found in Chapter 3, Using the CMD and AT
Commands.
To use the commands, you must be communicating directly with the ADM in what is called
"local mode" (Figure 2-1). In local mode, characters entered at the data terminal keyboard are
read, interpreted, and acted on by the ADM. This is in contrast to the "data mode," in which the
ADM passes data from your terminal to your host computer or other data endpoint.
Getting Started
FIGURE 2-1
Local and Data Mode Operation
Getting Started 2-1
ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
Local Mode
In local mode, commands typed at the data terminal keyboard are read, interpreted, and acted
upon by the ADM to make and end data calls as well as to modify data option values. There are
two varieties of local mode: local-idle and local-data. The ADM is in local-idle mode whenever
no data call has been initiated. The ADM goes into local-data mode when an established data
call is temporarily suspended by a user who wants to view or modify option values or disconnect
a call.
Data Mode
In the data mode, data from your data terminal or PC is exchanged with a host computer or other
data endpoint without interpretation by the ADM.
Setting Critical Options To Make a Data Call
ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
The ADM is shipped to you with default data option settings. Depending on your particular
needs, you may need to change some of these options. This section briefly describes the four
most important data options —local mode, data mode, speed, and parity, and explains how to set
them from your ISDN set keypad. If you are unable to successfully transmit data after following
the procedures in this section, refer to Chapter 4, Data Options and Profiles for complete
information on each of the options.
You can also set these options and additional data options from an attached data terminal or PC
keyboard. These additional options may allow you to specify more precisely the configuration
which best suits your needs. For information on setting data options from an attached terminal,
see the CMD Set and Program command descriptions in Chapter 3.
Data Mode, Local Mode, Speed, and Parity Options
The data mode option setting determines whether the outgoing calls that you make will use X.25
packet switched data on the ISDN D-channel or one of several other data protocols circuit
switched on an ISDN B-channel. (For incoming calls, your ADM automatically adapts to the
data protocol in use by the compatible calling endpoint.) The D-channel X.25 packet switched
option value is DX25. The B-channel circuit switched data mode option values are: B2 (factory
setting), BA, BV64U, BV64I, BV56U, and BV56I.
Select D-channel X.25 packet switched data (DX25) for packet switched data connections.
Select B-channel AT&T Mode 2 (B2) or B-channel AT&T Mode 3/2 Adaptive (BA) for
connectivity over 64 Kbps facilities to endpoints supporting only one or both of these
protocols.
Select B-channel V.120 protocol (BV64U, BV64I, BV56U, BV56I) for connection to
equipment supporting this newer industry standard protocol. Select BV64I for error
corrected (I-frame) mode or BV64U for uncorrected (UI-frame) mode connections over
64 Kbps facilities. Select BV56I for error corrected (I-frame) mode or BV56U for
2-2 Chapter 2
ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
uncorrected (UI-frame) mode connections over 56 Kbps facilities.
The data mode option setting must correspond to the capabilities administered on your ISDN
telephone line. Contact your System Administrator for information on the proper setting of this
option. For more detailed information on data mode, refer to the Mode option in the "Data Option
Definitions" section, Chapter 4.
The local mode option lets you select which form of commands and responses your ADM will
use after it is powered up. Local mode option values are CMD, AT, Enhanced AT, and Off.
Select CMD (factory setting) for the most user friendly interface with on-screen help.
Select AT if your PC communications package requires the use of an AT command set.
Select Enhanced AT only if you are using a PC communications package intended for use
with the AT&T ISDN Telephone Application Programming Interface. Enhanced AT mode
allows your PC to monitor and control all aspects of your ISDN voice and data telephone
service. For more information on Enhanced At, refer to the Integrated Services Digital
document number 533-705-200.
Select Off to disable the ADM from accepting commands and issuing responses through the
EIA interface. The Off mode is useful when your ADM is connected to a receive-only
device, such as a printer.
Set the speed option to the highest speed compatible with your data terminal or PC
communications package. Speed option values range from 1200 bps to 57.6 Kbps. The factory
setting is 9.6 Kbps.
Set the parity option to match the requirements of your data terminal or PC communications
package. Parity option values are odd, even, mark, or space. If your data terminal or PC
communications package does not require a particular parity, set the parity option to "space"
(factory setting).
The factory settings (default settings) may work for you. If these settings are not correct for your
particular set-up, follow the steps in the following sections to change them.
Setting Options on the 7506 or 7507 Display Sets
If you have an ISDN 7506 or 7507 set, you may find it easier to follow the instructions on the

Making a Data Call
ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
You can use the keypad of your ISDN set to initiate a data call, or you can initiate it from your
data terminal or PC. If you initiate the call from your data terminal or PC, you can use CMD
commands or AT commands. Check the documentation for your PC communications package to
determine if you need to use AT commands. The procedures for all three methods follow.

Mode or AT Local Mode, you are not transmitting data; your ADM is interpreting and acting
upon the instructions that you type. If your Local Mode is set to CMD, then your terminal
displays the CMD: prompt while you are in Local Mode. AT Local Mode does not display any
prompt.
If you are on a data call, you can move to Local Data Mode by typing the attention sequence
