Configuring ISDN BRI WAN Interface Cards
The ordering process varies from provider to provider and from country to country; however, here are
some general guidelines:
• Ask for two channels to be called by one number.
• Ask for delivery of calling line identification, also known as caller ID or Automatic Number
Identification (ANI).
• If the router will be the only device attached to the ISDN BRI line, ask for point-to-point service
and a data-only line.
• If you plan to connect another ISDN device (such as an ISDN telephone) to the ISDN BRI line
through the router, ask for point-to-multipoint service (subaddressing is required) and a
voice-and-data line.
ISDN BRI Provisioning by Switch Type
ISDN BRI provisioning refers to the types of services provided by the ISDN BRI line. Although
provisioning is performed by your ISDN BRI service provider, you must tell the provider what you want.
Table 3-7 lists the provisioning you should order for your router.
