Select function from above or <RET> for previous menu: 1

We suggest that you first enter the information pertaining to the device’s access type(s). Access types include: ISDN (which also includes configuration elements for devices connecting over dedicated links), Frame Relay, X.25, and Digital Modem (see above menu). Most devices use an ISDN access, in which case you would complete the information under ISDN. Note that it is possible for a device to primarily use Frame Relay or X.25, with ISDN as a backup access. In this case, you would enter ISDN information in addition to Frame Relay or X.25 information. Digital Modem accesses require no ISDN access configuration; simply complete the information under Digital Modem.

Refer to the section(s) below that pertain to the device’s access type. Then continue with the rest of the device configuration.

5.For ISDN (and dedicated) devices, begin by selecting ISDN from the Device Table Menu. The following menu will be displayed with the shown preconfigured default values:

Device ISDN Menu: (device = "DAN")

1)	ISDN Line Protocol.		"PPP (Point to Point Protocol)"
2)	Base Data Rate.		"64000 bps"
3)	Initial	Data Rate.	"64000 bps"
4)	Maximum	Data Rate.	"128000 bps"
5)	Dial Out Phone Number(s). ""
6)	Subaddress.		""
7)	Profile	Name.	"Default_Profile"
8)	H0 Call	Support	DISABLED

Select function from above or <RET> for previous menu: 1

a.If you will not be using the default of PPP as your line protocol, select (1), ISDN Line Protocol and select the type you will be using.

b.Check to see if the default base data rate, initial data rate, and maximum data rate are acceptable. If not, change the default values through the above menu (selections 2, 3, and 4). From the same menu, you will also need to configure the first dial-out number (if you want dial-out capabilities to this device).

c.The Profile Name pertains to the Bandwidth Reservation feature. The Device Profile entry identifies which line or lines are reserved for a particular profile.

d.H0 Call Support can be enabled for devices who need more bandwidth to accomplish large file transfers or video conferencing.
