5.2.1
Connecting BRI Lines
The BRI ports can be connected to ISDN terminal equipment such as ISDN telephones or
PBXs. Each BRI port can be configured either as termination equipment/user side (TE) or
network termination/network side (NT). Up to eight terminal equipment (TE) devices can be
connected per BRI S/T port, using an ISDN S-bus providing eight ISDN ports. When
configured as NT, the BRI port drives a nominal voltage of 38V with limited current supply
of up to 100 mA.
Warning:
the BRI ports to the PSTN.
Note:
