Nortel Networks endeavours to test all variations of ISDN PRI on Enterprise Edge; however, due to the number of variations, this is not always possible.

While an analog line carries only a single transmission at a time, an ISDN line can carry one or more voice, data, fax, and video transmissions simultaneously. An analog modem operating at 14.4 K takes about 4.5 minutes to transfer a 1MB data file and a 28.8K modem takes about half that time.
• Layer 3: Also a logical connection between the ISDN network (your service provider) and the Enterprise Edge system. For BRI lines, layer 3 is where call processing and service profile identifier (SPID) information is exchanged. This controls which central office services are available to the connection.

• Multi-Line hunt or DN hunting which switches a call to another ISDN line if the line usually used by the Network DN is busy. (BRI only) • Subaddressing of terminal equipment (TE) on the same BRI loop. However, terminal equipment which supports sub-addressing is not commonly available in North America.

Consult your customer service representative to determine whether or not this feature is compatible with your provider. Call by Call Service Selection for PRI (North America only) PRI lines can be dynamically allocated to different service types with the Call by Call feature. PRI lines do not have to be pre-allocated to a given service type.
• The routing table should route 911 to a PRI line pool. • If attendant notification is required, the routing table must be set up for all 911 calls to use a dedicated line which has an appearance on the attendant console. •...
PRI hardware The Digital Trunk Media Bay Module (DTM) is configured for PRI. In most PRI network configurations, you need one DTM configured as PRI to act as the primary clock reference. The only time when you may not have a DTM designated as the PRI primary clock reference is in a network where your Enterprise Edge system is connected back-to-back with another switch using a PRI link.
Page 13
S Reference Point The S reference point connection provides either a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint digital connection between Enterprise Edge and ISDN terminal equipment (TE) that uses an S interface. Refer to the figure below. S loops support up to seven ISDN DNs, which identify TE to the Enterprise Edge system. Figure 1 S reference point ISDN TE (with terminating resistors)
Figure 2 T reference point network connection ISDN Enterprise Edge A T loop can be used in combination with an S loop to provide D-packet service for a point-of-sale terminal adapter (POSTA) or other D-packet device. D-packet service is a 16 kbps data transmission service that uses the D-channel of an ISDN line.

If you choose No, the system drops the active call, unless you press the HOLD button first, if you answer a call or initiate another call.
Capabilities and Preferences - Preferences tab The Preferences headings allow you to program the same settings that users can perform at their telephones and the settings for configuring a telephone as a hotline. The set-based options are only available to digital phones and IP telephones.

Capabilities and Preferences - ATA settings tab Analog telephones have some settings that are specific to the analog connection. An analog telephone can be connected to the system directly through an analog modem, indirectly to a digital modem through an ATA2, and indirectly through a FEM if the analog module is on a legacy Norstar system.
Keep DN alive <checkbox> This feature is only relevant to the Nortel Networks IP telephones (2XXX). When enabled, the system retains the IP telephone DN record even if the IP telephone becomes disconnected. This occurs as long as the IP telephone has completed the bootup process.
Also see: “Moving IP telephones” on page Capabilities and Preferences - Button Programming tabs The Button Programming and CAP/KIM Button Programming tab screens allow you to program the buttons on a telephone with internal and external autodialers and with programmed feature keys.

Restrictions - Line/Set Restrictions tab The Line/set restrictions settings allow you to assign a restriction filter to a specific line for outgoing calls at a specific telephone. This type of filter replaces any line or set restriction filters that can otherwise apply. Line/set restrictions restrict the numbers the user can dial on a line, but only from that telephone.
