Note: AT&T 5ESS custom point-to-point switches have no SPIDs and are not represented in the table above. However, this type of switch configuration is supported by the Netopia R3100.

Example SPIDs

If your ISDN line is controlled by a DMS-100 switch using National ISDN-1, and your directory numbers are given as (415)234-5678 and (415)234-5679, your SPIDs are 41523456780101 and 41523456790201. Alternately, your SPIDs can be 41523456780100 and 41523456790200, but these are unusual, and rarely seen in new installations.

Dynamic B-channel usage

If the B-Channel Usage item in a connection profile’s PPP/MP Options screen is set to Dynamic or 2 B, Pre-emptible, one or both B channels may be in use at any time during a call made with that connection profile. Use of the second B-channel depends on traffic volume.

In addition, one of the B-channels may be relinquished if there is an incoming call, or if a second outgoing connection is made using another connection profile.

The ability to allow incoming calls when both B-channels are in use depends on the type of switch protocol on the local ISDN line, and how that line is provisioned (configured). Some types of switch protocols never allow incoming calls when both B-channels are in use. Switch protocols that do allow incoming calls must have the additional call offering (ACO) parameter turned on for data. ACO for data is off by default.

The table below shows which supported switch types can allow an incoming call when ACO for data is on.
