Chapter 1 Understanding ISDN and the ISU 2x64

ISDN OVERVIEW

The Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) is a public or pri- vate switched digital network. ISDN is an international standard for digital communications, allowing a full range of enhanced ser- vices supporting voice, data, and image applications through standard interfaces over a single pair of telephone wires. ISDN provides a means of integrating these services and modernizing communication networks for information movement and man- agement efficiency.

ADTRAN’s ISU™ 2x64 is a stand-alone ISDN service unit that connects data terminal equipment to the ISDN network. The ISU 2x64 is a dual-port ISDN terminal adapter available with an op- tional integrated NT1.
