Concepts and Principles of Operation

Provisioning the ISDN Line

To make sure that you get the correct ISDN service for the Hyperte Router, you must tell your service provider how you need the ISDN line provisioned. This means whether you want data, voice or a combination of the two, what extra services you need and, possibly what terminal type you require. Different service providers require this information in different ways; increasingly they are using ISDN Order Codes for simplicity, but some still require specific switch type details.

Using ISDN Order Codes

Placing an order for ISDN has been greatly simplified recently for National ISDN (NI-1 and NI-2) services by the use of ISDN Order Codes (IOC). This allows you to order a specific service by simply quoting an order code rather than having to use a lot of complex subscription parameters.

There are three ways of ordering ISDN using these ISDN Order Codes:

•Capability Packages

Note: The Hypertec Router complies with Capability S.

•Solution Sets

•EZ-ISDN

Note: The Hypertec Router complies with and is registered against EZ ISDN-1.

There are a number of other IOCs that can be used when ordering ISDN for the Hypertec Router . They may not all be available in your area and you may need to check this with your service provider.

Capability Packages

The following list shows the Capability Packages that are appropriate for the Hypertec Router .

Note: The Order Code used will depend on the data and voice services required; the Hypertec Router will not necessarily exploit all the features of a given service.

Capability

ISDN Service

Package

 

B

Only provides data on one B channel. Includes CLI (Calling Line

 

Identification or Caller ID).

C

Provides alternate voice/data on one B channel. Includes CLI.

G

Includes voice on one B channel and data on the other B channel.

 

Includes CLI and Additional Call Offering (ACO).

I

Includes data on two B channels. No voice capability provided.

J

Includes alternate voice/data on one B channel and data on the

 

other B channel. CLI is included.

K

This is the same as J but also includes ACO for the voice.

M*

Includes alternate voice/data on two B channels. Includes CLI.

R

Almost the same as I except that two directory numbers are

 

assigned. With package I, one or two directory numbers may be

 

assigned depending on the central site switch.

S*

Almost the same as M but always with two directory numbers.

 

Includes CLI. (This service complies with and is registered against

 

EZ-ISDN 1.)

U*

Includes alternate voice/data on two B channels. Includes CLI and

 

ACO.

V*

Includes alternate voice/data on two B channels. Includes CLI and

 

ACO.

Those Capability Packages marked with a * are the recommended codes to use, if available. You will get the most functionality from your Hypertec Router through these services.
