Support for National ISDN BRI Service
This service (Hybrid/PBX and Key modes) provides an alternative to loop-start
and ground-start lines/trunks for voice and digital data connectivity to the central
office. Each of the two B-channels ( bearer channels ) on a BRI line can carry
one voice and one data call at any given time. The data speeds on a B-channel
are up to 28.8 kbps for analog data and up to 64 kbps for digital data, which is
necessary for videoconferencing and other high-speed applications. Release
4.0 supports the IOC Package "S" (basic call handling) service configuration
and Multiline Hunt service configuration on designated CO switches.
