<h3>Product Application Note</h3>
<h2>  SPL Multiplexers, ISDN and <i>One Touch Dial</i>
</h2><p>

<p>
</H3> SPL <i>One Touch Dial</i> is a feature that will automatically cause the link to be dialed and connected when there is terminal traffic, and disconnect when there is no terminal traffic.  The disconnect timer can be set for a value of 1 to 99 minutes.  A user at any terminal on any port of the remote SPL can cause the connection to take place by entering the <i>space bar</i> character or pressing the <i>enter key</i> (carriage return).<p>
<p>
<i>One Touch Dial</i> is a high performance, low cost way to use ISDN dial up for users with low traffic volume from a remote office to the host computer.  With <i>One Touch Dial</i>, charges accrue only when someone is using the link, not all day long.  And, ISDN connects and disconnects almost instantly.  Connection takes less than half a second, disconnection takes just a few milliseconds.  
<p>
