ISDN Services Checklist
The following requirements must be met if you connect your router to other routers through ISDN.
European Services
•
Your ISDN circuit should conform to EURO-ISDN, NET3, or I-CTR3 standards.
•
You should know the ISDN number(s) of your local and remote sites.
•
If you require CLI (Caller Line Identification) for security, order the CLI option from your
local carrier.
•
If possible, place your order so that both B channels have the same ISDN number. Giving both
B channels the same ISDN number, which is known as auxiliary working, can speed up
connect times.

Model RT211 ISDN routers according to the type of switch your telephone company has in its
