DPI™ (Digital Phone Interface)
How do I make a DPI
connection?
DPI connections are made through the handset of a digital (PBX)
phone. To begin, you simply unplug the handset and plug the curly
cable into the DPI coupler provided. Ositech’s special software
first detects a DPI connection and then guides you through any
necessary steps to complete the connection.
Step 1: Connect your modem to a
digital phone handset.
Ositech provides a DPI cable which you use to connect your modem
to a digital phone handset. Simply unplug the curly cord from the
handset and plug the curly cord into the DPI coupler.
Step 2: Start your
communications software.
Step 3: Follow the dialog
instructions.
Ositech’s DPI Assistant software automatically detects DPI
connections and pops up a dialog screen to help you through the
connection. Follow the instructions in this friendly animated
screen. This software is so easy to use, it actually figures out
if you need to manually dial the phone number and if so, prompts
you to do so.
Step
4: Lift the handset.
Remember, once you’ve lifted the handset, do not place it back
in the cradle until you’ve completed your call. Otherwise, your
call will be disconnected.
Step 5: Dial the phone number.
Use the dial pad on the digital phone base unit to dial
the phone number.
Step 6: Click
Continue.
That’s it. Congratulations, you’ve successfully made a
DPI connection!
