Applications

The following steps must be performed to configure the router:

The default switch type for ISDN S/T interface modules is NET3, the default switch type for ISDN U interface modules is NI-1. If the type of service your provider uses matches the default setting for the interface module, the following step may be skipped, otherwise, the switch type must be set.

Ten ISDN switch types are available: net3, ni-1, ni-2, dms-100, 5ess-pp, 5ess-mp, tph1962, kdd, sweden, or ntt. Note that if your routers are located within different ISDN jurisdictions, the ISDN switch type may be different on each of the units.

ÄDirectory Number

ÄSPID

The directory number will be the ISDN phone number used to establish a call between the routers. The SPID is used to register the ISDN interface with the central switch.

For switch type NET3, only one directory number is required. The router will operate without putting in the directory number for a NET3 switch, but it is recommended that it be entered.

Most North American installations use the switch type NI-1 and must have the directory number entered, as well the SPID (Service Profile Identifiers) value. For an NI-1 switch type, enter only the local portion of the directory number unless the area code is required for local calls. The SPID must be set to the exact number given by the ISDN service provider.
