Dial Line/Switch Protocol Write security: 2; Read security: 5

Find out what kind of ISDN switch protocol the local CO is using by asking the local telephone administrator or the telephone company representative. The Express XL/XLT can be configured for the following:

AT&T 5ESS (def) AT&T 5ESS© Custom

DMS-100

Northern Telecom DMS-100™ Custom

National ISDN1

National ISDN-1 (could be a NorTel, AT&T, or

 

Siemens EWSD)

NEC

Nippon Electric Company Switch

Dial Line/Area Code

Write security: 2; Read security: 5

Enter 3-digit area code when using ExpertISDN.

Dial Line/SPID 1

Write security: 2; Read security: 5

The SPID is a sequence of digits used to identify ISDN terminal equipment to the ISDN switch. The SPID is assigned by the local phone company when the ISDN line is installed and it usually looks similar to the phone number. Obtain SPIDs from the telephone administrator or local telephone representative.

The number of SPIDs required (0, 1, or 2) depends on how your ISDN line is configured. For instance, a point-to-point line has no SPID. Multipoint lines may have one or two SPIDs. The Express XL/XLT uses the presence of SPID 1 to determine if the line is multipoint. If the line has only one SPID, then it must be entered in SPID 1.
