ISDN Protocol

Purpose:

After a digital link has been programmed in the Digital Links form, the ISDN Protocol form is used to program the protocol type and variant for the links.

Use this form when performing the following tasks:

CAUTION: You can select the outgoing numbering plans for Euro ISDN Standard trunk variants that are provided by the embedded PRI/BRI functionality in the ISDN Outgoing Numbers form. If you change the protocol variant in the ISDN Protocol form, the programming detail in the ISDN Outgoing Numbers form will be deleted.

True or False. Check the box to change to True. Applicable for BRI, QSIG or EURO protocols.

False

Enable Unknown TON/NP

When checked, this option modifies the NI-2 protocol to send "unknown/unknown" as the Type of Number (TON)/Numbering Plan (NP) in the Called Party Number Identifier of an outgoing call.

False

Bus Type

"S" (subscriber) or "T" (trunk).  BRI only.

T (trunk)

Point-to-Multi-Point

True or False. Check the box to change to True. BRI only.

False

Manual TEI

True or False. Check the box to change to True. BRI only.

False

TEI Value1

Integer (0-63). Terminal Endpoint ID. Used to set a TEI value when Manual TEI is true. BRI only.

0

TEI Value2

Integer (0-63). Terminal Endpoint ID. Used to set a TEI value when Manual TEI is true. BRI only.

0

Enable NI2 Service Messages

True or False. Applicable to N1-2 protocol only. Used to enable handling of service messages on NI-2 trunks.

False

 

Send NI2 Outgoing Name

True or False. Checked box indicates True. Used to send the calling name to the PSTN on NI-2 variant PRI trunks.

  • Note: This option is not available in IMAT for NSUs.

False

Replace External CLID

True or False. Checked box indicates True. When checked, any inbound PRI call that is call forwarded to an external destination over PRI will use the forwarded station's number not the calling party's number for CPN substitution or the default CPN if it not in the CPN substitution form.

False

Euro ISDN Only

T310 Timer

Integer (1-900). Call proceeding timer. Used to extend the timer for Euro ISDN only.

40

T304 Timer

Integer (1-900). Inter-digit timer. Used to extend the timer for Euro ISDN only.

30

Q.SIG Only

Fake Answer Supervision

True or False. Checked box indicates True. Applicable for QSIG only.

True

Sequential Channel Numbering

True or False. Check the box to change to True when channels for E1 QSIG need to be numbered consecutively.

False

Enable Prefix Insertion

Check the box to enable prefix insertion on QSIG trunks. See QSIG Prefix Modification for details.
