Using ISDN

ISDN I.430 and I.431 Switch Variants

 

To use the Native I.430 mode that is supported in Japan and is known as D64S in

 

Germany, you must code the ISDN switch variant as I.430. This treats the ISDN

 

interface like a leased line. There is no D-channel signalling traffic in this mode.

Code the switch variant as I.431 when running a leased line over ISDN PRI (T1/J1

only).

 

 

 

Native I.430 Support

 

 

Only one dial circuit is allowed per I.430 base net. You can con®gure the speed to

either 64-Kbps, 80-Kbps, 128-Kbps, or 144-Kbps using the set bandwidth

command. On models 1S4, 1S8, 1U4, and 1U8, if WAN and ISDN are both active,

 

this is restricted to 64-Kbps only. See ªSetº on page 629 to con®gure the bandwidth

 

command.

Native I.431 Support

 

 

 

When con®guring for Native I.431 support, only one dial circuit should be used. It

 

should be attached to the base net. The I.431 only runs on the ISDN PRI T1

adapter. The speed is ®xed at 1.5 Mbps.

Note: The multiport ISDN PRI adapters do not support the I.431 switch variant. To

utilize a full PRI line, select the channelized variant and assign all the

timeslots to one dial circuit.

 

Example: Base ISDN net

 

 

Config> n 5

 

 

 

ISDN Config> set sw i431

 

 

ISDN Config> list all
