Provisioning For U.S. Switches

For the U.S., the Prestige (both the U and S/T interface) has been approved by Bellcore and has the IOC (ISDN Ordering Code) “S” Capability, EZ-ISDN 1. Provide this information to your telephone company when you order your ISDN line. If your telephone company is not familiar with this IOC, then ask them what kind of switch you will be connected to and use the information under each switch type to order your ISDN line.

Provisioning For the AT&T 5ESS Switches

The AT&T 5ESS switch type supports three types of ISDN service. These are: National ISDN-1 (NI-1), Multipoint, and Point-to-Point.
