Command Reference Guide

SROS Command Line Interface Reference Guide BRI Interface Configuration Command set

isdn switch-type <type>

Use the isdn switch-type command to specify the ISDN signaling type configured on the Basic Rate ISDN

(BRI) interface. The type of ISDN signaling implemented on the BRI interface does not always match the

manufacturer of the Central Office Switch. Use the no form of this command to return to the default value.

Syntax Description

<type> Specifies the signaling type on the BRI interface (configured by the service

provider on the Central Office Switch).

basic-5ess Specifies Lucent/AT&T 5ESS signaling on the BRI interface.

basic-dms Specifies Nortel DMS-100 custom signaling on the BRI interface

The basic-dms signaling type is not compatible with proprietary SL-1 DMS

signaling.

basic-net3 Specifies Euro-ISDN signaling on the BRI interface.

basic-ni Specifies National ISDN-1 signaling on the BRI interface.

Default Values

<type> basic-ni

Command Modes

(config-bri 1/2)# BRI Interface Configuration Mode required

Functional Notes

The isdn switch-type command specifies the type of ISDN signaling implemented on the BRI interface,

not the manufacturer of the Central Office Switch. It is quite possible to have a Lucent Central Office

Switch providing National ISDN signaling on the BRI interface.

Usage Examples

The following example configures a BRI interface for a circuit with Lucent 5ESS (custom) signaling:

(config)#interface bri 1/2

(config-bri 1/2)#isdn switch-type basic-5ess
