This chapter contains the information required to implement ISL on the
Meridian 1 Option 11C system. It provides:
• hardware and software installation
• programming the hardware and software components necessary to
provide basic call service
Two modes of ISL are available: shared and dedicated. This chapter covers
the most common type of Nortel Networks ISL installation, an ISDN
Signaling Link (ISL) installation in dedicated mode using dedicated and
leased lines.
To implement ISL regardless of the mode of operation, analog or digital TIE
lines are used as B-channels:
• NT8D15 or NT8D14 Analog tie trunk cards
• NTAK09 Digital trunk cards (for shared mode)
• NTAK02 SDI/DCH card (for dedicated mode)
In shared mode, PRI hardware plus the existing TIE line interface card is
required.
Dedicated mode requires modems. See Figure 15 on page 81 and Figure 16
on page 82 for details).
