The number to enter for My Phone Number depends on your particular setup:
ISDN Card Directly Connected to Phone Outlet
A standard ISDN line provides three phone numbers (called multiple subscriber
numbers, or MSNs). If the subscriber asked for more, there may be up to 10. One
of these MSNs must be entered here, but without your area code. If you enter the
wrong number, your phone operator automatically falls back to the first MSN as-
signed to your ISDN line.
ISDN Card Connected to a Private Branch Exchange
Again, the configuration may vary depending on the equipment installed:
1. Smaller private branch exchanges (PBX) built for home purposes mostly use
the Euro-ISDN (EDSS1) protocol for internal calls. These exchanges have an
internal S0 bus and use internal numbers for the equipment connected to them.
