Arranging ISDN Service

The service provider requires certain information about the capabilities of the HSIM-W6. You must give the service provider the required switch settings (parameters) for the provider’s central office switch. Consult with your service provider at least two months before you require the installation and use of the ISDN service.

Complete the following steps to arrange your ISDN service:

1.Contact the service provider and determine what type of ISDN central office switches are available (see Telephone Switch Support in this chapter).

2.Supply the service provider with the provisioning information for their switch type to enable proper configuration of the ISDN line (see Telephone Switch Parameters in this chapter).

3.Once the ISDN line is installed, ensure that the service provider supplies you with the following information:

•ISDN telephone numbers

•ISDN Service Profile Identifier numbers (SPIDs) and/or Directory Numbers (DNs) (see SPIDs, Directory Numbers and Telephone Numbers in this chapter).
