Hardware Requirements
The following hardware is required to originate a data call:
A RPCI-DI (replaces digital telephone base)
A PC or ASCII Terminal
A Toshiba Digital Telephones
A data call can be made to a device connected to a DIU (RPCI-DI or PDIU-DS), such
as mainframe computers, printers, modems, PCs, and ASCII terminals.
Integrated Data Interface Unit (RPCI-DI)
A telephone within the Strata DK system that participates in a data call must be a
Toshiba digital telephone equipped with an integrated DIU (RPCI-DI). A label
reading "MODEL RPCI-DI" on the bottom of the telephone and an RS-232 connector
on the back of the telephone both indicate that a telephone is equipped with a RPCI-
DI. See Figure 1.

Throughout this guide, RPCI-DI-equipped digital telephones that are
connected to ASCII terminals or PCs are referred to as data telephones.
