isdn switch-type [basic-5ess | basic-dms | basic-net3 | basic-ni]

Use the isdn switch-type command to specify the ISDN signaling type configured on the Basic Rate ISDN
(BRI) interface. The type of ISDN signaling implemented on the BRI interface does not always match the
manufacturer of the Central Office switch. Use the no form of this command to return to the default value.
Syntax Description
basic-5ess Specifies Lucent/AT&T 5ESS signaling.
basic-dms Specifies Nortel DMS-100 custom signaling.The basic-dms signaling type is not
compatible with proprietary SL-1 DMS signaling.
basic-net3 Specifies Net3 Euro-ISDN signaling.
basic-ni Specifies National ISDN-1 signaling.
Default Values
By default, the ISDN signaling is set to National ISDN-1.
Applicable Platforms
This command applies to the NetVanta 1000R, 3000, and 4000 Series units.
Command History
Release 1.1 Command was introduced.
Functional Notes
The isdn switch-type command specifies the type of ISDN signaling implemented on the BRI interface,
not the manufactur er of the Central Of fice switch. It is quite possible to h ave a Lucent Central Of fice switch
providing National ISDN signaling on the BRI interface.
Usage Examples
The following example configures a BRI interface for a circuit with Lucent 5ESS (custom) signaling:
(config)#interface bri 1/2
(config-bri 1/2)#isdn switch-type basic-5ess
