Primary Rate Interface (PRI) Installation

To install a T1/PRI Interface PCB:

1.Attach a grounded wrist strap to your wrist and a grounded metal object (such as CEU ground).

2.To remove the front cover, loosen the two front panel retaining screws. Slide the front cover to the right then pull straight out.

3.Set the run/block switch DOWN.

4.Make sure the SW100 switch on the T1/PRI Interface PCB is set to 1.5M (PRI/T1).

5.Set the SW101 dip switches on the T1/PRI PCB for either T-Bus or S-Bus mode.

6.Set the SW3 dip switches on the T1/PRI PCB for either PRI Mode or T1 Mode.

7.Plug the T1/PRI Interface PCB into any universal slot.

Note that the white PCB Pull Tab should always be positioned closest to the top of the cabinet.

8.Set the RUN/BLOCK switch UP.

With normal operation, the status LED will flash fast. If trouble was found during the self diag- nostics routine, the status LED will flash slowly.

Once connected, the ISDN Layer Link Status LEDs will be on steady when the Layer link is established. If there is no link, the LED will be off.

9.Connect the cable from the NT1 Network Termination cable to the CN3 connector on the T1/PRI PCB.

The CSU connects to the network through an 8-pin RJ45/RJ48 connector. With PRI Networking, a cross-over cable must be used on the master system’s T1/PRI PCB or CSU to the telco demarca- tion. If the systems are networked side by side and not through telco, then a straight-through cable is used.

10.Connecting a Satellite 931 CSU (P/N 85945):

Connect the cable from the T1/PRI PCB to the ‘LOCAL EQUIPMENT’ connector on the back panel of the CSU.

Using the 8-pin RJ48C-RJ48C modular cable that was shipped in the box with the Satellite 931 CSU, connect the cable to the ‘T1 NETWORK’ connector on the back panel of the CSU.

Connect the opposite end of the NETWORK cable to the telco connection.

11.Replace the cover and tighten the two captive screws on the right side of the cabinet cover.

ISDN-PRI specifications

NEC ISDN-PRI (Integrated Services Digital Network - Primary Rate Interface) is a telecommunication standard that provides high-capacity voice and data transmission over digital networks. Offering exceptional reliability, ISDN-PRI has become a crucial component for businesses seeking robust communication solutions. One of the standout features of NEC ISDN-PRI is its ability to support 23 voice channels, each capable of delivering clear and high-quality audio simultaneously. In addition to voice channels, ISDN-PRI can also handle one data channel, facilitating data transmission at speeds of up to 2.048 Mbps.

A significant characteristic of ISDN-PRI is its digital nature, allowing for efficient use of bandwidth and minimizing issues common in analog systems, such as signal degradation and noise. This technology leverages time-division multiplexing (TDM), which enables multiple voice signals to occupy a single transmission medium without interference. Each channel is allocated a specific time slot, ensuring a seamless communication experience.

NEC ISDN-PRI is also known for its features such as call setup and teardown capabilities. Utilizing the D channel, ISDN-PRI can establish and terminate calls quickly, enhancing overall call management and enabling businesses to handle high volumes of concurrent calls efficiently. Moreover, businesses can benefit from supplementary services, including caller ID, call forwarding, and call waiting, which enhance operational efficiency and customer service.

Security is another critical aspect of NEC ISDN-PRI. The technology includes features like encryption and secure access protocols, ensuring that sensitive data remains protected during transmission. These security measures are vital for businesses dealing with confidential information and seeking to comply with industry regulations.

Furthermore, ISDN-PRI is highly compatible with various telecommunication infrastructures, making it a versatile choice for organizations looking to upgrade or integrate their existing systems. The ability to connect to PBX systems and support multiple protocols adds to its appeal, providing businesses with scalability and flexibility as their communication needs evolve.

In summary, NEC ISDN-PRI stands out as a reliable and efficient communication solution. With its support for multiple voice channels, high data transmission rates, robust security features, and compatibility with various systems, ISDN-PRI is well-suited for modern business environments seeking to enhance their communication capabilities and improve overall operational efficiency.
