546 Appendix C ISDN overview

Ordering ISDN BRI

The following provides information about how to order ISDN BRI service for your BCM.
Ordering ISDN BRI service in Canada
In Canada, order Microlink™ service, the trade name for standard BRI service. You can order
either regular Microlink™ service, which includes the CLID feature, or Centrex Microlink™,
which includes access to additional ISDN network features, including Call Forwarding.
When ordering Microlink™ service, it must be ordered with EKTS turned off. If you will be using
a point-of-sale terminal adapter (POSTA), ask for D-packet service to be enabled.
Ordering ISDN BRI service in the United States
In the United States, regardless of the CO (Central Office) type, order National ISDN BRI-NI-1
with EKTS (Electronic Key Telephone System) turned off. Use the following packages as a
guideline for ordering your National ISDN BRI-NI-1. However, Nortel recommends using
packages M or P with the BCM system. Contact your service provider for more information about
the capability packages it offers. Bellcore/National ISDN Users Forum (NIUF ISDN packages
supported by BCM (for ordering in U.S.).
Capability
M Alternate
voice/circuit-switched data
on both B-channels
P Alternate
voice/circuit-switched data
on both B-channels
D-channel packet
If you want to transmit both voice and data and support D-channel packet service, order
package P. However, BCM does not support the flexible calling for voice and additional
call-offering features that are included in package P.
Multi-Line Hunt may be ordered with your package. When a telephone number (the Network DN)
in the group of numbers assigned by your service providers is busy, the Multi-Line Hunt feature
connects the call to another telephone number in the group. BCM supports the feature only on
point-to-point, network connections (T loop). Check with your service provider for more
information about Multi-Line Hunt.
Any of the ISDN packages will allow you to use sub-addressing, but your ISDN TE must be
equipped to use sub-addressing for the feature to work.
Ordering ISDN BRI service outside Canada or the United States
Outside Canada or the United States, order Euro ISDN PRI or BRI service, or both, from your
service provider. Set the BCM equipment to the Euro ISDN protocol.
