DI-206 ISDN Remote Router

•Switch Type – This parameter defines the type of ISDN service used. Currently, the DI-206 only supports DSS-1 type ISDN lines.

•B1 and B2 Channel Usage – This defines whether the ISDN line is a leased line or a normal switched line. If you are not using a leased line connection, set this item to Switch.

•Country ID – This field needs to contain the country parameter. Without this information, the router cannot establish a connection. A list of country ID numbers is located in Appendix E, “Country ID Numbers.”

•ISDN Data – This field must contain the incoming telephone number for data calls. In other words, it is your ISDN line’s data phone number.

•A/B Adapter 1 and 2 – Enter the telephone numbers for your voice/analog lines.

•Phone 1 and 2 Call Waiting – If you have applied for and received call waiting capabilities for your ISDN voice lines, you must enable these settings in order for the call waiting feature to function.

There are 4 special operations for using call waiting (flash means a very brief hanging up of the phone. In other words, for the first option below, flash 0, click the hang up button on your phone very quickly and then press the number 0 on your telephone’s keypad):

Flash 0 – disconnect the first phone call established. Flash 1 – disconnect the second phone call established. Flash 2 – switch between the two phone calls.

Flash 3 – speak to both parties simultaneously (if conference calling is enabled by your phone company).

•POTS Lines – [Plain Old Telephone Service]. Enables or disables phone calls on the Phone 1 and Phone 2 jacks on the rear of the router.

•Global Reception – When this is enabled, the Phone 1 and Phone 2 jacks will receive all phone calls directed to them by the telephone company’s switch. When disabled, the router will check incoming calls to the Phone 1 and 2 jacks against the telephone numbers specified in the A/B Adapter 1 and 2 fields above.

•Block Outgoing CLID – When this is enabled, your ISDN data phone number and voice phone numbers will never be sent out when trying to establish a connection. Thus, even if sites being called have Caller ID, they still won’t be able to know your phone number.

•Inbound Authentication – This defines the authorization protocol that will be used when accepting a dial-in connection. The choices are Password Authentication Protocol [PAP], Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol [CHAP] or None. PAP and CHAP do not provide a screen for users to manually enter their Username and Password – instead, this data must be entered into the dialing software before placing the call. Make sure the device dialing in is using
