description of how to install the modules.  
Unpacking and inspecting  
ISDN BRI cards and external communication cables are shipped in separate  
packages. To unpack them, follow the general precautions recommended  
by computer and telephone equipment manufacturers.  
Remove items that generate static charge from the installation site.  
If the installation site is carpeted, spray it with an antistatic spray.  
Ground yourself before handling any equipment.  
Carefully remove the equipment from its packaging. Do not puncture or  
tear the containers. Use scissors or a utility knife.  
Inspect the equipment for obvious faults or damage. Report any  
damaged component to your sales representative and the carrier who  
delivered the equipment.  
When unpacking the circuit cards, hold them only by their nonconductor  
edges. Do not touch connector pins or components.  
Keep the circuit cards in their antistatic bags until you are ready to  
install them.  
Do not stack the plug-in cards on top of each other. This can damage  
the components and the printed circuits on the cards.  
Taking inventory  
After unpacking, verify that all the equipment necessary is at the site  
before installation begins. Check the equipment received against the  
shipping documents. Note any shortages and report them to your sales  
representative.

2
Locate the card slots in the modules that house ISDN BRI cards.  
Group all SILCs, UILCs, BRSCs, superloops and the MISP that  
supports them in the same network group to avoid using junctors  
for dedicated connections.  
—End—  
The following rules apply when selecting the card slots:  
MISPs  
MISPs are inserted into the Core/Network Module for Large Systems  
(Multi Group). Refer to the LD 22 printout to identify modules with  
unused network card slots and to Table 2 "ISDN BRI card location"  
(page 16) for the card slots in these modules that can house MISPs.  
An MISP cannot share network loop addresses with a Superloop  
Network Card in the Large Systems. The MISP requires two network  
loop addresses and one network card slot.  
An MISP supports a maximum of 8 BRSCs and two line cards.  
An MISP supports a set of 4 SILCs or UILCs when not supporting a  
BRSC.  
An MISP can support both BRSCs and SILCs or UILCs at the same time.  
If it serves one BRSC, an MISP can also support three line cards. If it  
supports two or more BRSCs, an MISP can also support two line cards.  
BRSCs  
Install one BRSC for each IPE module.  
With a BRSC configured, an IPE module can support a maximum of 15  
line cards. These can be up to eight UILCs combined with any other  
seven peripheral cards (including SILCs), or up to 15 SILCs.  
SILCs/UILCs  
The cards are installed in the Core/Network Module or the IPE Module  
for all system options. Refer to the LD 20 printout to identify modules  
with unused peripheral card slots.  
In each module, install a maximum of 15 SILCs, or eight UILCs  
combined with any other seven peripheral cards (including SILCs). If  
15 SILCs are installed, the remaining slots in the module may contain  
a BRSC, a UILCs, or non-ISDN BRI cards that do not need the - 48 V  
power supply of the IPE module (this restriction is due to power supply  
limitations for the module). If eight UILCs are used, you may install any  
other card which could reside in the IPE module.

Each SILC provides eight four-wire full-duplex ports. These ports  
are connected to building wiring to form DSLs. These ports are  
polarity-sensitive. Signal polarity must be maintained along each loop.  
Each UILC provides eight two-wire full-duplex ports. These ports are  
connected to twisted pair building wiring to form DSLs. These DSLs are  
not polarity-sensitive and, although recommended, it is not necessary to  
maintain signal polarity along each loop.  
Procedure 9  
Cross-connecting SILC and/or UILC ports to the building wiring  
Step Action  
Perform the following steps to cross-connect the SILC and/or UILC ports  
to the building wiring.  
1
2
Identify the card type (SILC or UILC) for a connector on the MDF.  
Refer to the IPE or CE module card location form at the end of this  
chapter, which shows the card type connected to each I/O panel  
connector.  
Identify transmit and receive pairs on the top of the labeled  
distribution strip for the card type and module type you are  
connecting. To identify SILC or UILC ports and their pin  
the cable pair designated T- T+ is the transmit pair and the  
pair designated R+ R- is the receive pair of the S/T interface.  
The cable pair designated T R is the Tx and Rx of the 2B1Q  
full-duplex U interface.  
3
4
Identify building wires connected to the bottom of the distribution  
strip. Refer to the Building Cable Plan, which identifies wires  
between distribution frames and wall outlets. The Building Cable  
Plan is developed according to instructions in the "Planning the Site"  
section in Communication Server 1000M and Meridian 1 : Large  
System Planning and Engineering (553-3021-120).  
Plug in the terminating resistor at the appropriate location in each

Connecting the ISDN BRI terminals to the DSL  
ISDN BRI terminals are connected to DSLs using modular cables up to 10  
meters (33 feet) long, with RJ-45 plugs on each end. One end of the cable  
plugs into the terminal, and the other end plugs into the wall outlet.  
Note: All ISDN BRI terminals should comply with CCITT, ANSI, ETSI  
NET-3, INS NET-64, National ISDN, 1TR6, Numeris VN2, and D70  
standards for terminals, and be compatible with the system. For a list  
of compatible terminals, refer to the ISDN Basic Rate Interface Feature  
Fundamentals (NN43001-580).

Procedure 10  
Connecting the ISDN BRI terminals to the DSL  
Step Action  
1
2
Plug one end of the modular cable into the ISDN BRI interface  
connector on the terminal and the other end of the modular cable  
into the wall outlet.  
For an SILC S/T interface terminal with an optional auxiliary power  
source, plug the power source into the wall outlet, then plug the  
cable into the power source’s RJ-45 jack. This power source must  
supply power only to the local ISDN BRI terminal, not back into the  
DSL through the RJ-45 wall outlet. The power adapter is supplied  
with the terminal.  
3
4
Program the terminal parameters, such as the Supervisor Position  
ID (SPID) and Static Terminal Endpoint Identifier (TEI), as required  
by the type of terminal. For detailed information pertaining to this  
procedure, refer to the section "Initialize ISDN BRI terminals", found  
in ISDN Basic Rate Interface Feature Fundamentals (NN43001-580).  
Repeat steps 1 and 3 for each terminal to be connected.  
—End—  
Connecting the terminating resistors  
DSLs require that a terminating resistor be connected at the end of each  
loop. See ISDN Basic Rate Interface Feature Fundamentals (NN43001-580)  
for engineering rules and locations of terminating resistors. The end of the  
S/T interface loop has an RJ-45 jack to plug in the telephone cable. Plug  
the terminating resistor into the RJ-45 jack, and then plug the telephone  
cable into the terminating resistor.  
Note: For every port there is one loop with only one terminating resistor  
per loop. Each loop can support a maximum of eight telephones.

using on-chip phase lock loops. The clock frequency that is recovered is  
2.56 MHz. The jitter and wander conform to CCITT recommendations.  
All of the S/T chips on the SILC could be configured as Terminal Equipment  
Slaves (TES), but only the clocks recovered from DSL0 and DSL1 are  
routed to the back plane connector pins. These clocks are provided as  
differential pairs on back plane pins. See Table 9 "Clocks as differential

This section contains information on the following topics:  
Introduction  
This chapter describes how to prepare ISDN BRI equipment for acceptance  
testing. It explains how to verify that ISDN BRI cards are enabled and  
functioning correctly and how to correct any problems before starting the  
test.  
Verifying ISDN BRI operation  
After ISDN BRI equipment has been installed and configured, you can  
visually inspect ISDN BRI cards to make sure that they are operating  
correctly by observing their LEDs:  
Check the red Dis LED located on the MISP faceplate. If the Dis LED  
on an MISP is lit, check that the MISP is disabled or faulty. If it is  
extinguished, check that the MISP is enabled and operating. To enable  
the MISP or to correct a problem, refer to ISDN Basic Rate Interface  
Maintenance (NN43001-718).  
Check the red LED located on the BRSC faceplate. If the red LED is  
extinguished, check that the BRSC is enabled and operating correctly. If  
the red LED is lit, check that the BRSC is manually disabled or faulty.  
To enable a BRSC or to correct a problem, refer to ISDN Basic Rate  
Interface Maintenance (NN43001-718).  
Check the red LED located on the SILC and UILC faceplates. If the  
red LED is extinguished, check that the SILC or UILC is enabled and  
operating correctly. If the red LED is lit, check that the SILC or UILC  
is manually disabled or faulty. To enable an SILC or a UILC or to

correct a problem, refer to ISDN Basic Rate Interface Maintenance  
(NN43001-718).  
If all indicator LEDs on ISDN BRI equipment are extinguished (with the  
exception of the CC LED on an MISP), the equipment is functional and you  
can set up the terminals for this test.  
Setting up ISDN BRI test terminals and trunks  
Set up ISDN BRI terminals  
To conduct acceptance testing for ISDN BRI terminals, you must have a  
setup that can verify basic ISDN BRI functions and features. Figure 13  
example of the ISDN BRI terminal arrangement. You may wish to establish  
a different test setup, which can be determined by the type of terminals  
implemented in a specific customer configuration. You may want to setup  
communication between ISDN BRI and non-ISDN terminals.  
Refer to the ISDN Basic Rate Interface Installation and Commissioning  
(NN43001-318) for ISDN BRI terminal installation instructions.  
Procedure 13  
Performing acceptance testing  
Step Action  
To perform acceptance testing of ISDN BRI terminals:  
1
2
Select three DSLs, two connected to different SILCs and one to  
a UILC.  
Equip each SILC DSL with two voice, one circuit-switched data, and  
one low speed packet data ISDN BRI terminals.  
Note: Packet data testing can be conducted only if an external  
packet handler or an Meridian Packet Handler (MPH) is installed  
as part of the customer configuration, and is supported by the  
system (like the external DPN-100 packet handler). If packet  
handler is not part of the configuration, do not equip the DSLs  
with packet data terminals and skip all the packet data tests  
specified in this chapter.  
3
4
Equip the UILC DSL with a network terminator (NT1) and connect  
the two voice and one circuit-switched data ISDN BRI terminal to the  
S/T interface on the NT1.  
Configure the DSLs to support these ISDN BRI terminals and  
initialize the terminals as described in the "Initialize ISDN BRI  
terminals" section of the ISDN Basic Rate Interface Feature  
Fundamentals (NN43001-580).

is connected to a Network Termination (NT1) device, which is physically  
located on the same premises as the system. The NT1 device connects  
to the Local Exchange that supports Numeris VN2, 1TR6 or D70 protocol  
through a U interface. The distance limitation of the NT1 from the Local  
Exchange depends on the distance supported by the Local Exchange.  
To achieve system clock synchronization, configure the system as a slave  
to the local exchange. Derive the clock source from either the ISDN BRI  
Local Exchange connection or the other ISDN BRI/PRI/DTI local exchange  
connections, if available.  
After you complete the acceptance testing setup, proceed with the test

Note: The Flash ROM can become corrupted if loss of power  
occurs during programming of the Flash ROM. If this occurs,  
the Flash ROM automatically re-initializes when the MISP is  
installed and powered up. The automatic re-initialization delays  
the completion of the self-test, and it takes five minutes for the  
LED to flash three times.

Installing the clock controller on the MISP (for trunking  
applications)  
A clock controller is only required for ISDN BRI trunk applications. The  
system supports a single active clock controller. This clock controller can  
support a primary and a secondary reference clock. These reference clock  
sources are derived from BRI spans or DSLs (DSL 0 and/or DSL 1).  
A clock controller is required in every cabinet or MG 1000S that contains a  
digital trunk.  
The line cards associated with BRI DSLs used as clock references are  
installed in the Small System main cabinet or Media Gateway.  
Use the following guidelines when installing the clock controller on the MISP:  
If the primary reference clock source comes from a PRI or DTI, then the  
clock controller is a daughterboard on the DTI/PRI card.

Installation procedures 61  
If the primary reference clock is derived from a BRI DSL, then the CC  
daughterboard is on the MISP associated with that line card. DSL0 of  
that line card is used to generate the reference clock.  
To use a DTI/PRI as a secondary clock source reference, the clock  
controller daughterboard must reside on a DTI, PRI, or MISP. The  
clock is extracted from the target DTI/PRI span and routed to the clock  
controller over the back plane.  
To use a BRI DSL as a secondary clock source reference, the clock  
controller daughterboard must reside on a DTI/PRI or an MISP. The  
clock is extracted from DSL1 of the source line card and routed over  
the backplane to the CC.  
Procedure 17  
Installing the SILCs and UILCs  
Step Action  
1
Remove the cover from the assigned system.  
ATTENTION  
IMPORTANT!  
Wear the static discharge bracelet located inside the cabinet or MG  
1000S before handling circuit cards. Failure to wear the bracelet can  
damage the circuit cards.  
2
Remove the SILC or UILC from its shipping package and hold it by  
its card locking devices.

4
Insert the SILC or UILC into the selected card slot and lock it in place.  
Use the jumper plugs to configure the line powering options for the  
SILC. Each port is equipped with its own set of option jumper plugs,  
enabling individual configurations for each DSL.  
The SILC has three line powering options. These options are  
configured using the jumpers located near the backplane connector

Installation procedures 75  
Connecting the ISDN BRI terminals ISDN BRI terminals are connected  
to DSLs using modular cables not longer than 10 m (33 ft) with RJ-45 type  
plugs on each end. One end of the cable is plugged into the terminal, and  
the other end is plugged into the telephone outlet.  
All terminals must be compatible with the system and comply with one of  
the following protocols for ISDN BRI terminals:  
ETSI NET-3  
INS NET-64  
NUMERIS  
ANSI standards  
Contact your Nortel Networks representative for the latest list of compatible  
terminals.  
To connect 1TR6 terminals, an ETSI NET-3 to 1TR6 protocol converter  
is required. A terminal adapter (the So-Adapter) has been specifically  
designed to interface with the ISDN BRI DSL and the 1TR6 terminals. Its  
main function is to convert 1TR6 protocol, sent from the 1TR6 terminal into  
the ETSI NET-3 protocol required for ISDN BRI.  
S/T interface specification  
The S/T interface uses an 8-conductor modular cable terminated with an  
8-pin RJ-45 type plug. An 8-pin RJ-45 type jack located on the terminal  
connects the terminal to the DSL using this modular cable.

76 Configuring ISDN BRI hardware  
Note 1: Power Source 1 (PS1): Up to 2 Watts of power is supplied by  
the SILC to the terminals on the DSL. This power is simplexed over the  
TX and RX pairs provided by -48 V (-40 V for Europe) supply on the  
SILC. The RX pair is positive with respect to the TX pair.  
Note 2: Power Sink 2 (PS2) provides an optional means of powering  
the terminal from a common supply in the wiring closet.  
Note 3: Power Source 3 (PS3) provides the power from the terminal to  
the NT1 if the NT1 does not have a local power source.  
U interface specification  
The U interface uses a 2-conductor, twisted pair cable terminated with  
an RJ-45 type jack. An RJ-45 type jack on the NT1 device connects the  
terminal to the DSL using this twisted pair cable.  
The connector pin assignments for the jack and the plug are shown in Table

88 Testing ISDN BRI functions  
ISDN BRI trunk  
Voice calls  
A voice call can be established between two voice terminals across a  
network (ISDN or non-ISDN), between two terminals on the same system,  
and between two terminals on the same DSL. Acceptance testing of ISDN  
BRI voice calls is conducted when testing the following system features  
supported by ISDN BRI terminals.  
Call Hold  
Call Waiting  
Call Forward No Answer  
Calling Line Identification Presentation and Restriction  
ISDN BRI National ISDN-1 Conference and Call Join  
Special ISDN BRI Hunting  
ISDN BRI ETSI Conference  
ISDN BRI ETSI Call Forwarding Unconditional  
ISDN BRI National ISDN-1 Call Forward All Calls  
Call Hold  
Call Hold is used to place an active call on hold to allow answering an  
incoming call or placing an outgoing call. After releasing an incoming or an  
outgoing call, retrieve the call on hold.  
Note: The following test requires the terminal placing the calls on  
hold to have multiple DN appearances. Otherwise, this test cannot be  
performed as written.  
Procedure 27  
Performing a call hold test  
Step Action  
1

From an ISDN BRI terminal, dial an ISDN BRI or a non-ISDN BRI  
terminal and establish an active call connection.  
Verify that voice transmission is established by talking with the  
person at the other terminal.  
Press the HOLD key to place the active call on hold.  
Note: To use feature keys on different ISDN BRI terminals,  
consult the user manual supplied with the terminal.

11  
Retrieve the second call on hold.  
Complete the call and hang up.  
—End—  
This test can be repeated for terminals connected to the same DSL, different  
DSLs on the same card, different DSLs on cards associated with different  
MISPs/BSRCs, and between ISDN BRI and non-ISDN BRI terminals.  
Call Waiting  
Call Waiting informs an ISDN BRI terminal user engaged in an active call  
that a call is waiting to be answered. A call setup message is sent to a DSL  
when both B-channels are busy and an incoming call is in progress. This  
causes a warning tone to the terminal speaker. To accept the new call, the  
user must place the currently active call on hold or release the call.  
Call Waiting is activated only if Hunting is not enabled or fails to handle  
the incoming call. The incoming call may originate from an ISDN BRI or  
a non-ISDN BRI terminal.  
Note: The following test requires that the terminal receiving the second  
(call waiting) call has multiple DN appearances. Otherwise, this test  
will fail.  
Procedure 28  
Perform a Call Waiting test  
Step Action  
1
Set the FEAT parameter to HTD to disable Hunting. Use LD 27  
to specify this parameter when configuring the Terminal Service  
Profile (TSP) for the two voice ISDN BRI DNs on one of the DSLs.

Call Forward No Answer  
Call Forward No Answer and Second Level Forward No Answer forwards  
an unanswered call to a Call Forward No Answer Directory Number (DN)  
after a predetermined number of rings. This feature is enabled at the TSP  
level when defining the ISDN BRI DN. Both the external and internal Call  
Forward No Answer features are configured at the DSL level using LD 27.  
The call can be specified to be forwarded to the attendant, to an assigned  
hunting DN, or to a flexible Call Forward No Answer DN by using LD 15.  
When a call originated by an ISDN BRI terminal is forwarded to a  
predetermined DN specified in LD 15, the display on that ISDN BRI terminal  
is not updated to indicate a call modification.

Procedure 29  
Performing a Call Forward No Answer test  
Step Action  
1
Set the FEAT parameter to FNA and SFA to enable Call Forward No  
Answer and Second Level Forward No Answer. (SFA is needed only  
to test two levels of Call Forward No Answer.) Use LD 27 to specify  
these parameters when configuring the TSP for one of the two voice  
ISDN BRI terminal DNs. See "TSP configuration procedures" in  
ISDN Basic Rate Interface Feature Fundamentals (NN43001-580).  
2
Specify the attendant as the forwarding DN using LD 15. At the  
FNAL prompt, enter ATT to specify forward to attendant. Refer to  
LD 15 in the Software Input Output Administration (NN43001-611)  
for more details.  
3
4
From an ISDN BRI terminal, place a call to the ISDN BRI terminal  
with the enabled Call Forward No Answer feature and the specified  
call forward to attendant.  
Do not answer the call. After a predetermined number of rings, the  
call is forwarded to the attendant. The display on the call-originating  
ISDN BRI terminal will not be updated to indicate that the call has  
been modified and forwarded to the attendant.  
5
6
Verify the call was forwarded to the attendant by answering the  
call at the attendant console. The attendant console will display  
the call-originating identification number and the notification of call  
redirection.  
Hang up at the call-originating ISDN BRI terminal to release the  
call connection.  
—End—  
Calling Line Identification Presentation and Restriction  
Calling Line Identification Presentation and Restriction allows a calling party  
number (Calling Line Identification) to be shown on a called party ISDN BRI  
terminal display. Use LD 27 to specify this feature when configuring the TSP  
for the ISDN BRI terminal DN. See "TSP configuration procedures" in ISDN  
Basic Rate Interface Feature Fundamentals (NN43001-580).

92 Testing ISDN BRI functions  
This feature gives the calling and the called parties the option of displaying  
the calling line identification as follows:  
The called party ISDN BRI terminal must have the calling line  
presentation (CLIP) parameter value set to YES to accept the calling line  
identification and show it on its display.  
If there is an option on the ISDN BRI terminal that enables the calling  
party to allow or restrict the presentation of the calling line ID on a per  
call basis, select the option to allow presentation. This option on the  
terminal overrides the PRES parameter values entered in the TSP  
data block when configuring the TSP. This depends on the telephone  
configuration default. See "TSP configuration procedures" in ISDN  
Basic Rate Interface Feature Fundamentals (NN43001-580).  
Procedure 30  
Perform a Calling Line Identification Presentation test  
Step Action  
1
2
Configure both the calling and the called party ISDN BRI terminal  
DN with CLIP = YES and PRES = YES.  
Place a call from one terminal to the other and observe the display  
on the called party ISDN BRI terminal. The Calling Line Identification  
should be displayed during ringing and for the duration of the call.  
3
4
Release the call at the called or calling party terminal.  
Set PRES = NO in the TSP data block for the calling party ISDN BRI  
terminal. If the calling party ISDN BRI terminal has an option on the  
set to allow or restrict the presentation of the calling party number,  
select the option to allow presentation and place a call to another  
ISDN BRI terminal.  
5
6
Observe the called party ISDN BRI terminal display. You should  
see the number being displayed.  
Release the call connection.  
—End—  
ISDN BRI Conference (National ISDN-1 and ETSI)  
ISDN BRI Conference allows an ISDN BRI terminal user to bridge multiple  
parties into a conversation. The user can:  
invoke Conference on a call  
add a new party to an existing call

Procedure 31  
Perform an ISDN BRI Conference test  
Step Action  
The same procedures can be used to test ISDN BRI NI-1 or ETSI  
Conference.  
1
In the DSL configuration in LD 27, set PRID = 6 to select the National  
ISDN-1 protocol, or set PRID = 2 for the ETSI protocol.  
2
In the TSP configuration in LD 27, define conference under FEATID:  
FEATID aaa mmm <nnn>, where  
aaa = A03 (3-party conference) or A06 (6-party conference)  
mmm = feature activation ID (0 - 127)  
nnn = feature indication ID (0 - 127) (If nnn is not entered, it is  
assumed  
to be the same as mmm)  
3
4
Select National ISDN-1 or ETSI protocol on the ISDN BRI terminal if  
signaling type/protocol is configurable.  
On the ISDN BRI terminal, configure Conference. This procedure  
largely depends on the implementation of feature key management  
on individual terminals. In general:  
a. The terminal provides Conference as a selectable feature to be  
programmed on a hard/soft key. For example, on a soft key  
on an M5317TDX, select FA to be FCC; on a hard key on an  
M5209TDcp, select CONF.  
b. The Conference key number selected on the terminal must  
correspond to the feature activation ID entered for the TSP in  
LD 27.  
5
Configure at least two DN appearances on the ISDN BRI terminal.  
On some ISDN BRI terminals, the second DN appearance allows  
the user to initiate the second call.  
6
7
Place an outgoing call from the ISDN BRI terminal.  
After the call is established, press the Conference key. The first call  
is put on hold automatically; a second key is lit to allow the user  
to place the second call.

—End—  
ISDN BRI Special Hunting  
ISDN BRI Special Hunting allows a call encountering a destination that has  
a call in progress to be automatically routed to a different destination in a  
hunt chain. Hunting continues along a predetermined sequence of DNs in a  
hunting group until an idle ISDN BRI or non-ISDN BRI terminal DN is found  
or until the maximum number of hunt steps is exhausted. Use LD 27 to  
define the hunting DNs in the DSL. See "DSL configuration procedures" in  
ISDN Basic Rate Interface Feature Fundamentals (NN43001-580).  
Special hunting for ISDN BRI supports calls terminating at an ISDN BRI  
terminal. This feature is activated when a call terminating at a DSL  
encounters a busy condition and if hunting is enabled. Internal and external  
hunt DNs can be specified when configuring the DSL.  
A busy condition occurs:  
if the maximum number of calls on a DSL exceeds the specified limit of  
calls on a DSL including active, calls held, calls waiting, and calls in  
progression (as configured on LD 27), or  
if the total number of calls including active, calls held, calls waiting, and  
calls in progress exceeds the number of channels configured to handle  
the incoming call type.  
If the call limit on a DSL is not exceeded, an incoming call is presented to  
the DSL interface as a call waiting call. If Hunting is enabled, the call will be  
hunted.  
Use LD 27 to enable or disable Hunting when configuring the TSP for the  
ISDN BRI terminal DN. See "TSP configuration procedures" in ISDN Basic  
Rate Interface Feature Fundamentals (NN43001-580).

Procedure 33  
Perform a hunting test  
Step Action  
1
2
Set the FEAT parameter to HTA to enable hunting for two voice ISDN  
BRI terminals. Use LD 27 to specify this parameter when configuring  
the TSP. See "TSP configuration procedures" in ISDN Basic Rate  
Interface Feature Fundamentals (NN43001-580).  
Use LD 27 to specify the HUNT parameter DNs when configuring  
the DSL. These hunt parameter DNs specify the members of a  
hunting chain. See "DSL configuration procedures" in ISDN Basic  
Rate Interface Feature Fundamentals (NN43001-580).  
3
4
Place two calls, one for each voice ISDN BRI terminal, on a DSL  
to create a DSL busy condition.  
Place a voice call to one of the busy ISDN BRI terminals with hunting  
enabled. Since the channel type required to handle the incoming call  
type is busy, hunting is automatically invoked to find an idle DN in  
the hunting chain.  
The following can occur:  
If the call finds an idle voice ISDN BRI or non-ISDN BRI terminal,  
it will ring that terminal.  
If hunting is not successful:  
— the originating party receives a busy tone if the total number  
of calls on the DSL (as configured on LD 27) exceeds the  
maximum number of calls allowed, or  
— the call is placed in call waiting if the maximum number of  
calls on the DSL is below the specified limit.  
If the call is placed in call waiting, observe the called ISDN BRI  
terminal. You should get a visual indication of the next DN and  
receive an audible tone.  
5
Place the active call on hold and answer the incoming call that is  
waiting.

ISDN BRI National ISDN-1 Call Forward All Calls  
National ISDN-1 Call Forward All Calls enables a user of an ISDN BRI  
terminal to have calls redirected from the user’s DN to another DN. Calls  
are redirected regardless of the busy or idle status of the interface to the  
user. Call Forward is assigned on the basis of the directory number and  
call type (that is, the user may have voice calls forwarded, while data calls  
terminate normally).

ISDN BRI ETSI Call Forwarding Unconditional  
The ISDN BRI ETSI Call Forwarding Unconditional (CFU) supplementary  
service allows an incoming call to an ISDN BRI terminal to be forwarded  
to a predetermined destination, within or outside the system. The call is  
forwarded whether the user is busy or idle.  
An ISDN BRI user can assign the same address or a different address  
for voice or data calls being forwarded. Calls can also be forwarded to an  
ISDN BRI terminal or a non-ISDN BRI terminal. When the CFU feature is  
activated, outgoing calls can still be made from the ISDN BRI terminal.  
The ETSI supplementary service provides Call Forwarding capabilities to all  
users on the access (that is, all the DNs defined under a Digital Subscriber  
Loop (DSL), or an individual user (that is, a DN).  
Procedure 35

Circuit-switched data calls  
A circuit-switched data call can be established between two data terminals  
over a B-channel. The call is set up the same way as a voice call. Dial a call  
using the ISDN BRI terminal key pad or keyboard, depending on the type of  
ISDN BRI terminal used. After the connection is established and the called  
ISDN BRI terminal sends an acknowledgment that it is ready to receive  
data, the call-originating ISDN BRI terminal can start transmitting user data.  
If the call-originating ISDN BRI terminal requests access to data stored  
in another ISDN BRI or non-ISDN BRI terminal, it may have to provide a  
password to be able to access that data.  
Note: Follow the instructions in the ISDN BRI terminal user manual for  
a detailed description of how to set up a call connection and how to  
transmit and receive data.  
In general, data terminals are divided into the following categories:  
intelligent terminals, such as personal computers  
dumb terminals such as video display terminals  
Repeat this test on several terminals, including both intelligent and dumb  
terminals as needed.  
Procedure 36  
Perform a circuit-switched data call test  
Step Action

100 Testing ISDN BRI functions  
Packet data transmission  
A packet data call can be established between two data terminals over a  
B-channel or a D-channel.  
B-channel packet data terminals communicate with the packet handler at 64  
kbps over dedicated B-channels. The packet handler may be an external  
packet handler, the DPN-100, or the integrated MPH. The packet handlers  
processes and distributes the data to local terminals for local calls or over  
the packet data network for remote calls.  
D-channel packet data terminals communicate at a baud rate of up to 9.6  
kbps. The packet data is multiplexed onto a 64 kbps BD that is linked with  
the external packet handler through a dedicated ISDN PRI B-channel, or, in  
the case of the MPH, through a dedicated connection.  
Note: To perform packet data transmission verification, the system  
must be connected to a DPN-100, or configured with MPH. Also, packet  
data transmission functions must be selected when configuring the  
B-channel and D-channel transmission characteristics. Use LD 27 to  
specify the packet data transmission functions. See "MISP configuration  
procedures" in ISDN Basic Rate Interface Feature Fundamentals  
(NN43001-580).  
In addition to configuring the MISP and the DSL in LD 27, ensure the  
following:  
the ISDN PRI loop carrying packet data was configured in LD 17  
the packet handler route was specified in LD 16  
an ISDN PRI channel for the packet handler route was configured using  
LD 14  
See ISDN Basic Rate Interface Feature Fundamentals (NN43001-580) for  
a detailed description of how to configure relevant ISDN BRI packet data  
transmission parameters in LD 17, LD 16, and LD 14.
