ISDN Menus

Menu 2 is for configuring your ISDN line. Depending on what switch the telephone company has for your particular installation, you may have more than one telephone number. If you are in North America, you may also have SPIDs (Service Profile Identifiers). Make sure that you have correct and complete telephone numbers and SPIDs. You must complete the ISDN setup before your

system can make an outgoing call or answer an incoming call.

North American ISDN Menu

Use the commands described in Table 3-1 and Table 3-2 to display the ISDN Setup menu for North America. Table 3-3 lists and describes each field in the menu and how to enter the information in each field.

Table 3-3.	ISDN Setup Menu Parameters for North America
Field		Description
Switch Type		Verify the switch type information with your telephone company. For North America,
		select the type of switch used by your telephone company. Press the space bar to cycle
		through the choices, and then press [Enter]. If your line is configured for National ISDN
		(NI-1) Protocol, choose the NI-1 setting. Otherwise, choose Custom.
B Channel		Switch/Switch should be selected unless one or both B channels are a leased circuit.
Usage		Toggling this parameter using the Space bar will cycle through all combinations of
		Switch, Leased, and Unused.
Telephone		Enter the telephone number(s) assigned to your ISDN line by your telephone company.
Number(s)		For North America, these phone numbers should be in a standard seven-digit local
		format without area code (for example, 5551212). The router accepts only digits. Do not
		include dashes ( - ) and spaces in this field. This field should be no longer than 19 digits.
SPID Number(s)		SPID (Service Profile Identifier) is a number used by a switch for identification purposes.
		Depending on your switch type, you may have zero, one, or two SPIDs assigned to your
		line.
Analog Call		This field tells the router how to route an incoming analog call. Set to Phone 1 if you
		want to route the incoming analog call for this telephone number to the PHONE 1 port
		(POTS port in North America and A/B Adapter in Europe). Set to Phone 2 if you want to
		route the incoming analog call for this telephone number to the PHONE 2 port. Set to
		DOVBS if you want to receive an incoming data over voice bearer service call.
