processing and service profile identifier (SPID) information is exchanged. This
controls which central office services are available to the connection. For
example, a network connection can be programmed to carry data calls.
Note: Throughout this chapter, references are made to Service profile identifiers
(SPIDs). SPIDs are a part of the BRI National ISDN standard. SPIDs are not
used in the ETSI BRI standard or on PRI.
The system of layers is important when you are installing, maintaining, and
troubleshooting an ISDN system. For information about troubleshooting ISDN, see
