Telephone users, data-terminal users, and technicians can disassociate telephone translations from the current terminal port, and then associate the telephone translations with another terminal port. Users use the Personal Station Access (PSA) feature to disassociate and associate telephones. Technicians use the Terminal Translation Initialization (TTI) feature to disassociate and associate telephones.

An AWOH telephone is considered to be disassociated when no hardware port is assigned to the telephone. To indicate that no hardware is associated with a telephone, type x in the Port field of the appropriate screen. When the port is assigned later, the AWOH telephone is considered to be associated.
