ISDN Conﬁguration Parameters

The following deﬁnitions explain the ﬁelds in the Wide Area ISDN conﬁguration window:

Telephone Company Switch Type — The ﬁrmware supports the following telephone switch

types: AT&T 5ESS (with custom software), Northern Telecom DMS-100 (with custom software),

or the other telephone company switches that support NI-1 (National ISDN-1 Service). To select a

switch type, click the radio button next to the switch type you will be using.

ISDN DNs (Directory Numbers) — The ISDN Directory Numbers are the phone numbers of

your ISDN lines, assigned by your telephone company. Some digital central ofﬁce switches

(AT&T 5ESS Custom) require only a single DN number. Others, like the Northern Telecom

DMS-100 with the NI-1 service, require a separate DN number for each channel. The area code

and telephone number of a DN are not separated by spaces or other characters, i.e., 6033329400 is

a typical DN entry.

ISDN SPIDs — SPIDs, or Service Proﬁle ID numbers, identify the characteristics of your

particular ISDN line. A SPID is often your ISDN phone number with some additional digits. The

ISDN interface has provision for two SPIDs. Your service provider may supply you with two, one,

or no SPID numbers. One SPID number may be assigned to each ISDN B (Bearer) channel, one

SPID for both ISDN B channels, or SPIDs may not be provided at all, depending on the type of

digital switch used by your telephone company.

ISDN Proﬁles — The ISDN Proﬁles window shows ISDN Proﬁle names (sets of ISDN

parameters), interface numbers, and whether the proﬁle shown is your primary proﬁle.

ISDN Proﬁle Wizard

The ISDN Proﬁle Wizard is an application that sets up sets up Primary and Secondary proﬁles

within the CyberSWITCH or HSIM that you are conﬁguring. You specify the number of Primary

and Secondary proﬁles needed, and the Proﬁle Wizard assigns the proﬁles and interface numbers

dynamically. After you have entered the required information into the following windows, the

Proﬁle Wizard then inputs the information into the CyberSWITCH or HSIM and restarts it, and

then restarts QuickSET so you may ﬁnish conﬁguration.

When you attempt to modify, add, or delete ISDN proﬁles from the Wide Area ISDN window, you

will see this important warning message shown in Figure 97, on the following page. Any changes

that you have entered into QuickSET prior to editing ISDN proﬁles will be lost if you

continue with the Proﬁle Wizard. To save these changes click on cancel and ﬁnish saving your

conﬁguration. After you have saved you conﬁguration changes, you can restart QuickSET and edit

the ISDN proﬁles.
