DIAL LINE OPERATION

This section explains how to configure the ISU 128 when using ISDN basic rate switched service. Figure 6-3 illustrates the entire CONFIG branch of the menu tree.

The following are step-by-step procedures for configuring the unit for dial line operation, switch protocol, call type, terminal ID, dial options, auto answer, answer tone, connect timeout, and call screening.

To dial calls over the ISDN, the unit must be configured for Dial Line. The menu path to select Dial line operation is shown in Figure 6-1.
