Concepts and Principles of Operation
Provisioning the ISDN Line
To make sure that you get the correct ISDN service for the Hyperte Router, you must tell your service provider how you need the ISDN line provisioned. This means whether you want data, voice or a combination of the two, what extra services you need and, possibly what terminal type you require. Different service providers require this information in different ways; increasingly they are using ISDN Order Codes for simplicity, but some still require specific switch type details.
Using ISDN Order Codes
Placing an order for ISDN has been greatly simplified recently for National ISDN
There are three ways of ordering ISDN using these ISDN Order Codes:
•Capability Packages
Note: The Hypertec Router complies with Capability S.
•Solution Sets
•EZ-ISDN
Note: The Hypertec Router complies with and is registered against EZ
There are a number of other IOCs that can be used when ordering ISDN for the Hypertec Router . They may not all be available in your area and you may need to check this with your service provider.
Capability Packages
The following list shows the Capability Packages that are appropriate for the Hypertec Router .
Note: The Order Code used will depend on the data and voice services required; the Hypertec Router will not necessarily exploit all the features of a given service.
Capability | ISDN Service |
Package |
|
B | Only provides data on one B channel. Includes CLI (Calling Line |
| Identification or Caller ID). |
C | Provides alternate voice/data on one B channel. Includes CLI. |
G | Includes voice on one B channel and data on the other B channel. |
| Includes CLI and Additional Call Offering (ACO). |
I | Includes data on two B channels. No voice capability provided. |
J | Includes alternate voice/data on one B channel and data on the |
| other B channel. CLI is included. |
K | This is the same as J but also includes ACO for the voice. |
M* | Includes alternate voice/data on two B channels. Includes CLI. |
R | Almost the same as I except that two directory numbers are |
| assigned. With package I, one or two directory numbers may be |
| assigned depending on the central site switch. |
S* | Almost the same as M but always with two directory numbers. |
| Includes CLI. (This service complies with and is registered against |
| |
U* | Includes alternate voice/data on two B channels. Includes CLI and |
| ACO. |
V* | Includes alternate voice/data on two B channels. Includes CLI and |
| ACO. |
Those Capability Packages marked with a * are the recommended codes to use, if available. You will get the most functionality from your Hypertec Router through these services.
