Model 2977 B4 ST adapter installation

The DialFire RAS B4ST adapter provides four ISDN Basic Rate Interface (2B+D) lines in a package that fits in a single PCI slot in your server.

This section describes how to install your DialFire RAS B4ST adapter.

Determining your line termination requirements

ISDN Basic Rate Lines must be terminated. By default, the DialFire RAS B4ST adapter terminates the BRI line with a 100-ohm resister across the transmit and receive lines. In most cases, no changes are required. In the event that multiple ISDN S/T devices are installed on the same ISDN BRI line, only one device (the device farthest from the NT1) should be terminated. If the DialFire RAS B4ST is not that device, you will need to change the switch setting from Terminated to Open (see Step 8 of the Installation procedure). Ensure that the terminating resistors in the farthest ISDN device are enabled, and that the NT1 is set to 100-ohm termination.
