Number Assignment

Your ISDN Phone number is assigned by your ISDN Service Provider and is used by the DIVA T/A to identify itself on outgoing calls and to recognize incoming calls which are destined for it.

Enter the ISDN number you are going to assign for this Phone Port connection. All calls made with this Phone Port will always use the ISDN number you enter here. This can be useful if your ISDN billing is broken down by numbers as you can trace the charges relating to a specific Phone Port. It is also helpful if your ISDN Service Provider offers a discount on all calls made to a favorite number.

Options

Parameter	Description
Call type	Specifies the types of calls you will accept on your phone.
	• ‘Incoming & Outgoing Calls’: Both incoming and outgoing calls will be accepted on
	the phone.
	• ‘Incoming Calls only’: Only incoming calls will be accepted; no outgoing calls can
	be made on the phone.
	• ‘Outgoing Calls only’: Only outgoing calls will be permitted; no incoming calls can
	be accepted on this phone.

This phone line is used for a fax / modem only

Enabling this option:

•Enables “3.1KHz Audio”. This specifies that the ISDN network has to preserve the quality of the 3.1KHz voice band which is required for data audio signals such as faxes and modems.

•Disables supplementary services such as Call Forwarding and Call Waiting.

•Disables Dial Access.

Switch	Distinctive ring specifies that the phone ring will be slightly different to the regular
distinctive	ring. By enabling this option, distinctive ring will be switched from the second
ring	number on your phone port to the first number.
	Use this feature to help differentiate between your two phone numbers, so you can
	tell which phone is ringing. If you only have one number configured on each phone
	port, you can enable this option on one phone port to help differentiate between
	the two phone ports.
	If your modem, fax, or telephone is experiencing difficulty in detecting incoming
	voice calls, try toggling the distinctive ring feature.

Enable call waiting support

Call Waiting alerts you to an incoming call when you are already on the phone. You can put one call on hold while you accept another.

The incoming call is often offered using the second B-channel and therefore there would be no B-channel available for any other connections.

If you are using your second B-channel for sending/receiving faxes, you may not want Call Waiting enabled. You should disable this option if you do not want Call Waiting support to be available on either one or both phone lines.
