Strata DK PC/Data Interface 5/00 1
The Grand Tour 1
Toshiba provides two interface units that integrate the Strata DK telephone system
with PCs, printers, and modems for a variety of applications.
The Stand-alone Data Interface Units (PDIU-DS) normally connects to printers and
modems so that they can be shared by all users via data calls through the DK
telephone system.
The telephone PC Interface Unit (RPCI-DI) is built into the base of the digital
telephone and connects to the COM port of a PC. There are two operating modes:
♦Telephone Application Program Interface (TAPI) mode
♦Data communication mode
The PC TAPI software program automatically controls the operation mode (TAPI or
Data Communications) of the RPCI.
A 2B+D ISDN-type digital link in conjunction with the RCPIs and DIUs enable
digital telephones to participate in simultaneous voice and data calls. Voice and data
calls are transmitted over the same digital telephone wire pair. This offers you several
calling options. For example, a digital telephone user can place a voice call while in
the middle of a data call to a printer or host computer, etc.
This chapter lists all the equipment required to originate or receive a data call. In
addition, it explains the function and configuration of the Data Interface Units (DIUs),
both the RPCI-DI and PDIU-DS types.

Hardware Requirements
2Strata DK PC/Data Interface 5/00
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.
Note Throughout this guide, RPCI-DI-equipped digital telephones that are
connected to ASCII terminals or PCs are referred to as data telephones.

RPCI-DI Buttons and LEDs
In system programming, the data telephone can be assigned data feature buttons
shown below.
RPCI-DI Data Connections
See the Strata DK I&M Manual for detailed installation instructions.
If a data terminal is connected to a data telephone, the terminal must be an ASCII type
with a standard keyboard and a display screen or printer display.
If a PC is connected to a data telephone, the PC must be running at least one of the
following types of programs: word processor, desk organizer dialer, or
communications software. Also, the PC must be active (on-line) on its COM port
connected to the data telephone’s RPCI-DI.
Note It is not possible to establish data call connections from your PC DOS prompt.
Table 1 Data Feature Buttons
Button Description
'DWD&DOO
Enables a connection between the digital telephone’s RPCI-DI to another DIU in
the system when manually dialing from the telephone. When
'DWD&DOO is pressed
on an idle data telephone, the system sends intercom dial tone to the telephone to
prompt dialing. 'DWD&DOO also can be used to switch data telephones and CO lines
from voice to data on external calls.
The Data Call LED lights when you receive a data call from another data telephone
or whenyou make a call from your data telephone, PC, or ASCII terminal. The Data
Call LED is always red when ON.
'DWD5HOHDVH
Terminates data calls. The Data Release LED never illuminates.
0RGHP
Reserves a system modem for 60 seconds. If a modem is not accessed within this
time limit, press this button again to reserve for another 60 seconds.
A flashing Modem LED indicates that a modem is currently reserved for your
telephone; a continuously lit LED indicates that you have accessed a modem or
that all modems are busy. The Modem LED is always red when ON or flashing.

Stand-alone Data Interface Unit (PDIU-DS) Connections
4Strata DK PC/Data Interface 5/00
The data telephone is connected to the PC serial communications port (COMX, where
X = 1, 2, 3, or 4) or terminal with an RS-232 cable and connector. It is connected to
the Strata DK system like any other digital telephone with a modular cord.
Stand-alone Data Interface Unit (PDIU-DS)
Connections
Data devices, such as printers, modems, mainframe computers, etc., must be
connected to a PDIU-DS with an RS-232 cable and connector. An RS-232 connector
is below (see Figure 2).
Figure 2 Stand-alone DIU Connector
See the Strata DK I&M Manual for detailed installation instructions.
Note
●The PDIU-DS must be connected to the Strata DK system with a modular cord.
Similar to a regular station, the PDIU-DS is assigned a station number.
●Toshiba recommends connecting the line sides of the modems to standard
telephone ports to ensure access to the complete set of modem pooling features.
Connecting the modems to a dedicated CO line may not allow access to the whole
set.

Communication Parameters
6Strata DK PC/Data Interface 5/00
Communication Parameters
Before a data connection is established, the communication parameters—data speed
(baud rate or bps), parity, data bits, stop bits—of the terminal or PC must be the same
as the data device that is calling or being called. The PC communication parameters
are set with MS-DOS MODE commands.
➤To set the PC Communication parameters
Communication parameter options are shown in Table 3.
➤Enter MODE
LPTx:=COMx
(x = 1, 2, 3, or 4)
Use this parameter, if you connect to your printer via
an RPCI to DIU-DS data call connection.
...or MODE COMx:
baud rate, parity, data
bits, stop bits
Notes
●Toshiba recommends entering these MODE
command lines into the DOS AUTOEXEC.BAT
file, in most cases.
●The COM port number and communication
parameters must be set to allow proper operation
of data calls in most communications, desktop, and
word processor software.

Features 2
This chapter explains how to use your data telephone to connect to other data devices,
such as an internal printer, modem pool, or mainframe computer. It also explains how
to originate and answer simultaneous voice and data transmissions from your
telephone or another telephone.
Data Call to Internal Printer or Other Data Device
If using a PC, data calls to printers can be connected anytime while running a word
processor, spread sheet, or database program. This procedure can also be used to make
data calls to other internal data devices, such as modems or mainframe computers, that
are connected to stand-alone DIUs. A communications software program is generally
required for these types of internal data calls.
Before making your call, verify that the communication parameters of your PC or
terminal match those of the printer or data device you are calling.

The following instructions work with typical communications software programs.
Higher-level software may integrate these low-level communications dialing
commands to provide more automated operation.
1. Press 'DWD&DOOon
your data telephone. The Data Call, Spkr, and Mic (see note) LEDs turn ON (red); and the [DN] LED turns ON (green). The data
telephone receives internal dial tone.
Note Depending on system programming, the Mic
LED may or may not turn ON.
2. Enter the station
number of the DIU
connected to the
printer.
The Spkr, Mic, and [DN] LEDs turn OFF; the Data
Call LED remains ON (red).
If busy, press 'DWD5HOHDVHand try again; if busy
tone is not received, the call is connected.
3. Print the data. The data can be printed using your terminal or PC
software program.
➤Press'DWD5HOHDVH
