Page 10: Introduction
Primary to Basic Rate ISDN Multiplexer Introduction The Product The Primary to Basic Rate ISDN Multiplexer from Black Box allows analogue and basic rate ISDN terminals to be used with a primary rate ISDN connection. A primary rate terminal ISDN can also be connected.
Page 11: Product Specifications
Primary to Basic Rate ISDN Multiplexer Product Specifications ISDN Connections The Primary to Basic Rate ISDN Multiplexer connects to the network via an ISDN S2m or T.1 PRI interface acting as a terminal. The Primary to Basic Rate ISDN Multiplexer provides up to sixteen BRI's via line cards with 8 S0 or 8 U ports and one ISDN S2m or T.1 PRI port operating in NT mode.
Page 12: Power
Primary to Basic Rate ISDN Multiplexer Power The Primary to Basic Rate ISDN Multiplexer is available in mains powered and dc powered versions. The mains version accepts a voltage of 110-240V AC (50-60Hz). The DC version accepts a voltage of -36V to -72V DC. Maximum power consumption is 90W. Mechanical The Primary to Basic Rate ISDN Multiplexer is enclosed in a 2U high 19"...
Page 13: Quick Reference Guide - Introduction
Primary to Basic Rate ISDN Multiplexer Quick Reference Guide - Introduction The Primary to Basic Rate ISDN Multiplexer consists of a chassis, mains or DC power supply, controller card and up to 2 line cards. The controller card must be fitted in the first slot.
Page 14: Mains Power Supply
It allows the Primary to Basic Rate ISDN Multiplexer to be controlled remotely via Telnet. Software upgrades are possible via FTP. SNMP is also supported. If SNMP is to be used contact Black Box for the MIB file. The Line port is the modem (optional), which connects to an analogue telephone line.
Page 15: U And S Cards
Primary to Basic Rate ISDN Multiplexer LED's indicate power and alarm. For each primary rate port the P LED is on when both physical link layer and data link layer are active. It flashes when only the physical link is active. The B LED is on when any B channel is in use.
Page 16: Restoring Default Settings
Primary to Basic Rate ISDN Multiplexer Ports 1-16 are A1-16 if fitted in the first line card slot or A17-32 if fitted in the second line card slot. Pin-outs of the analogue interfaces are given in an appendix. For each port the LED is on when a phone is connected and off-hook. The LED flashes to indicate ringing.
Page 17: Installation
Unpack the Primary to Basic Rate ISDN Multiplexer First unpack the Primary to Basic Rate ISDN Multiplexer and check for signs of damage in transit. If the unit or packaging is damaged this should be reported immediately to Black Box. Take an Inventory Assuming there is no damage, take an inventory of the parts supplied.
Page 18: Make Calls
Primary to Basic Rate ISDN Multiplexer Make sure that the equipment is compatible with the interface it is connected to. NB: in the UK master sockets should be connected between the analogue connections (RJ11) and telephones. Make calls Try making calls from the enabled ports e.g. call the speaking clock.

Primary to Basic Rate ISDN Multiplexer IP Setup This option brings up a menu, which allows IP addressing to be configured. 2 modes are available -auto and fixed. Auto mode means that IP address, subnet mask and gateway are configured automatically by the Primary to Basic Rate ISDN Multiplexer by requesting values from a BOOTP or DHCP server on the network.
Page 24: Recall Settings
Primary to Basic Rate ISDN Multiplexer Recall Settings This option allows the saved settings to be restored. Confirmation is requested before the settings are changed. If the saved setting for the terminal baud rate etc is different to the current setting an option to use the current terminal setting is given.

Page 28: Protocol
Primary to Basic Rate ISDN Multiplexer Protocol This option selects the protocol used on all ISDN connections. The options are ETSI EuroISDN and National ISDN. Routing Mode (ETSI protocol only) This option selects the routing mode used to route calls. The options are Number and Channel.
Page 29: Connection Set-Up
Primary to Basic Rate ISDN Multiplexer For primary rate interfaces the range is 0-30 for E1 and 0-23 for T1. For basic rate interfaces, the range is 0-2. e.g. if the number of channels for PRI 2 is set to 6 then b1-b6 can be used for calls provided they are not assigned to semi-permanent connections.
Page 30: Routing Set-Up
Primary to Basic Rate ISDN Multiplexer Routing Set-up This option brings up a menu which allows b channels on PRI 1 to be assigned to b channels on PRI 2 or b channels on BRI's. It is not displayed if Routing Mode is set to Number. NB: The timeslots on PRI 1 and 2 assigned to the d channel (16 for E1, 24 for T1) cannot be used.
Page 31 Primary to Basic Rate ISDN Multiplexer The numbers in Number Setup have 2 purposes: Choosing the port to send a call to (This does not apply if Routing Mode is set to channel) This depends on the network providing a Called Party Number in the SETUP message. This can be either a full number or the last few digits.
Page 32: Number Set-Up (National Isdn Protocol)
Primary to Basic Rate ISDN Multiplexer Number Set-up (National ISDN protocol) This option brings up menus that allow numbers to be assigned to the basic rate interfaces. Use the cursor keys and <ENTER> to select the number to be changed. Use <ENTER> to change the number.
Page 33: Clid Generation
Primary to Basic Rate ISDN Multiplexer If the TA is not SPID initialised then all the CLID numbers for that port are checked. If there is no match the CLID number for the first TA is used. If it is blank then the Calling Party Number (if any) is passed through unchanged.

Primary to Basic Rate ISDN Multiplexer <esc> key to go back to the previous menu. If this does not work, then switch The Primary to Basic Rate ISDN Multiplexer off and on again. Protocol Analyser will not run. Check the analyser option i.e. at least one level of decode must be enabled and the interface to which the terminal is connected must be enabled.
Page 100: Terminal Will Not Make Or Answer A Call
Primary to Basic Rate ISDN Multiplexer Terminal will not make or answer a call. If the P light stays off see the section on "Terminal will not activate at layer 1". If the P light flashes check that there are not too many terminals on the line. For basic rate, the maximum is 8 (1 for point-to-point) and for primary rate, the maximum is 1.

Page 114: Examples Of Number Set-Up (Etsi Protocol)
Primary to Basic Rate ISDN Multiplexer Examples of Number Set-up (ETSI protocol) This appendix gives some example settings for Number Set-up when ETSI protocol is selected, and describes how incoming calls are routed (if Routing Mode is set to Number) and how the calling party number/subaddress on outgoing calls is effected (if CLID generation is on) in each case.
Page 115: Route By Subaddress
Primary to Basic Rate ISDN Multiplexer If CLID generation is on use the first number for an interface to hold the telephone number to be used when a Calling Party Number is to be changed on or added to an outgoing call. 10 different telephone numbers can be assigned to the same interface.
Page 116: Route Based On Telephone Number With Last Digit As Wildcard
Primary to Basic Rate ISDN Multiplexer Outgoing calls with Calling Party Number ending 5551234 and Calling Party Subaddress of 44 will have their Calling Party Number and Calling Party Subaddress unchanged. Otherwise, if none of the numbers for that port match then the Calling Party Number (and Subaddress) will be changed to the first number (and Subaddress) stored for that port.
Page 117: Route Based On Telephone Number Allowing For Extension Number (+ Option)
Primary to Basic Rate ISDN Multiplexer less it is assumed to be an extension number and will be appended to the new Calling Party Number. Route based on telephone number allowing for extension number (+ option) Store a telephone number with a '+' after the last digit (e.g. 5551234+) for each interface that is to receive incoming calls.
Page 118: Reject All Incoming Calls
Primary to Basic Rate ISDN Multiplexer Reject all incoming calls Delete all numbers in Number Setup. Set PRI 2 to have 0 channels in Channel Set-up CLID generation (for outgoing calls) is not appropriate in this case. Program the SPID's of BRI equipment as 0101 if the BRI equipment needs a SPID to make outgoing calls.
Page 119 Primary to Basic Rate ISDN Multiplexer When used for a basic rate interface the SPID associated with the telephone number 5551234 is 55512340101. TECHNICAL: 0118 931 2233...
