ISDN Communication Basics In this chapter, we will cover how to initiate and receive calls over digital lines using your TA. Understanding AT Commands AT commands are used to configure and control the omni. Command statements are usually sent to the TA by being typed from the computer keyboard.
This confirms that the TA and your computer are communicating correctly. Supported AT command types: Type of AT Command Basic AT (Hayes compatible). Basic AT$ (on line help). Extended AT&. Extended AT* command. S-Register command. S-Register bit-mapped command Register 13 bit 1 equal to 1). S-Register inquiry command.
The omni supports either verbose result code (i.e. “OK”) or numerical result code (i.e. “0"). You can use ATVn command to set it one way or the other: Command ATV0 ATV1 Outgoing Calls The omni has 3 modes in which to send communication over ISDN network.

Manually switching communication modes (non-data) The manual switching functions will only be necessary if your communication software does not allow you to change your dial-up string. Conventional dialing commands: ATD, ATDT and ATDP, used by many existing communication software, can be mapped onto one of the new dialing commands according to the AT&O setting as follows: AT Command Dial string it will map to...
V.110 X.75 or the call may be initiated by an analog device (non-data). This section will provide some general guidelines for setting up the device for call answer handling. Be aware that the TA will not automatically answer a call unless S-register S0 is set to a value greater than 0 (zero).
length that the receiving side allows. Sometimes this information will be exchanged during handshaking. However, few manufacturers, if any, have implemented this mechanism. If the sending side sends packets greater than what the receiving side allows, the receiving side will discard the frame and reply with a Frame Reject frame (FRMR).

Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) Introduction Point-To-Point Protocol is designed for simple links which transport packets between two peers. These links provide full-duplex simultaneous bi-directional operation, and are assumed to deliver packets in order. PPP is intended to provide a common solution for easy connection for a wide variety of hosts, bridges and routers.
Data will be transmitted only when the link is in the open phase. Negotiation details are described in RFC1661. Feature list Async to Sync Conversion (external) PPP uses HDLC-like framing as encapsulation, which can be bit- oriented or character-oriented. Most ISDN routers use bit-oriented HDLC framing, also known as synchronous transmission.
by CHAP. Sometimes CHAP can not be supported by the ISP. You may set S87.2=1 to use PAP only. If you do not want to do authentication at all, set S118.3=1 to disable the conversion. : Disabling authentication may cause problems in Windows 95. NOTE CHAP is described in RFC1994 and PAP is described in RFC1334.
Multilink PPP There are two B channels in basic rate ISDN. This offers the possibility of opening multiple simultaneous channels between systems giving users additional bandwidth on demand. Multilink PPP is a method for bundling both B channel into one PPP link for higher throughput.
traffic for BOD is still under calculation. In other words, the add persist time is calculated from the time when the traffic is above the add threshold whether or not the phone is on-hook or off-hook. However, it won’t dial until the phone has been on-hook for 10 seconds.
ATJSn - Subtract traffic threshold for n K bits per second, n = 32 (default). ATKAmn - Add persist time for n period in m unit, n = 0 - 127, m = s for seconds and m for minutes. ATKSmn - Subtract persist time for n period in m unit, n = 0 - 127, m = s for seconds and m for minutes.
V.110 and Synchronous Mode Communications V.110 is most popular in Japan. The table below shows the specifications of different ISDN protocols: Synchronous (external) Layer 1 Transparent Layer 2 None Layer 3 None Error Control V.42bis Async or Sync Sync Bundle Yes (Note) Max.
will report “RING” to your terminal. External models will also make an audible ring notification. Making V.110 Calls Before the ATDIxxx command is given to place the call, you need to make sure that the TA is in asynchronous mode (AT&M0). Then use the following commands to configure V.110: AT Command ATB10...
There are two modes of synchronous operation: 1. Asynchronous commands, synchronous data (AT&M1): The omni accepts AT commands in asynchronous mode. Once the call is connected, it enters synchronous mode for data transmission. 2. Synchronous mode (AT&M3*I1): The omni accepts synchronous commands from V.25 bis or a PC with an add-on synchronous card, and exchanges data synchronously with a remote TA.
Command Messages Indicator Messages CFLxx DTR Drop-Dialing Operation The omni will automatically dial the phone number stored in the NVRAM when it detects an off-to-on transition of the DTR line. Before you enable the DTR drop action, a phone number must be stored and saved to memory along with an indication of which number to dial on DTR drop.

V.120 ISDN Communications This chapter describes how to set-up and configure your TA with the V.120 ISDN protocol. The table below shows the specifications of different ISDN protocols: V.110 80 Bits Layer 1 Framing Layer 2 None Layer 3 None Error Control V.42bis Async Only...
support out-of-band signaling, network signals are transmitted through the B channels. This reduces the bandwidth to 56Kbps. When you are making a V.120 call, make sure that the communication supports out-of-band signaling. If it does not support out-of-band signaling, you will need to set your TA to 56K mode using the AT&E1 command (AT&E0 to set it back to 64k mode.) If your TA is on the receiving end, you can keep the setting at AT&E0, 64k data mode.
All the above commands can be simplified by combining all of the commands onto one line as follows: AT&B20&E1&WZ0<Enter> Dialing in V.120 mode Finally, use the ATDn command to make the call (n is the phone number you wish to dial). Once the connection is made, you should see the following connect message.
Speeds of 128Kbps BRI ISDN consists of three (2B+D) logical channels. Each B channel can be used independently for a dial-up connection running at 56Kbps or 64Kbps (bits per second). The two B channels can be used together for a single data connection to provide 112K (with In-Band Signaling) or 128K (when Out-of- Band Signaling is used).
Once this is done, the ATD command will generate two consecutive SETUP messages to invoke bundle initiation. For the Northern Telecom switch, each BRI phone number can only be called once at any given time. So if you dial this number, it will report “busy”...
to dial the (n+1)th phone number for the first connection and the (m+1)th phone number for the second connection. For example, ATDIS0+S1<Enter> will dial the number stored in location ‘0’, and the number stored in location ‘1’ for the bundle connection.
Bundle Connection with V.42bis Data Compression If both sites have set AT&K44 to enable V.42bis negotiation then XID frames will be exchanged through the main B channel which corresponds to the call established by the first SETUP message. Only one data compression channel will be used in bundle connections.

X.75 ISDN Communications This chapter will describe how to set-up and configure your TA with X.75 protocol. The table below shows the specifications of different ISDN protocols: V.110 80 Bits Layer 1 Framing Layer 2 None Layer 3 None Error Control V.42bis Async Only Async or Sync...
Answering an X.75 call There is no need to configure the ISDN mode to the protocol of an incoming call. The omni will be able to determine the correct protocol to use by examining the data coming in from the remote site if the device is set to auto-answer or once an answering command is issued.
For European ISDN (DSS1), the Low-Layer-Compatibility (LLC) information element in the SETUP message can be used to specify the layer 3 protocol. Since this is an option for ISDN switches, some of the switches might not deliver the LLC information element to the remote end.
bundle request. The two data calls are established following normal call control procedures. That is, the network treats them as two independent calls. The omni uses X.75 Multiple Link Protocol or 'cFos' channel bundling protocol to coordinate the two B channels. The former would need an overhead of two octets for each packet.
AT&K00 - (disable V.42bis on ISDN call) For X.75, to negotiate compression parameters with the remote ISDN terminal, we exchange XID frames before the Link Layer is established. The calling site will send an XID frame with V.42bis request to the called site. If the called site understands this XID's meaning, it will reply to an XID frame with a V.42bis request.
Handling Analog Calls (non-data) The omni.net, and omni.net Internal allow connection of analog devices (e.g. telephone, fax, PBX, or modem) to your ISDN line. This chapter will outline the steps you need to take to place and answer analog calls via your ISDN line. ONote: Remember, The omni.net Internal has one analog adapter.
AT Command Description ATS84.5=1 use. AT&ZIn=s MSN setting, assign Called phone number, “s,” to be answered by “n” port (where n=6 for Phone 1 and n=7 for Phone 2). AT&ZI6=s Assign the Called phone number for analog adapter, Phone 1. AT&ZI7=s Assign the Called phone number for analog adapter, Phone 2.
Use ATDAs (ATDBs) to place a call from analog adapter 1 (analog adapter 2) Once the analog adapter's hook sensor detects that the telephone device’s handset is off hook, it sends a SETUP message to the ISDN central exchange to request a connection. One B channel, if available, will be assigned to this connection and the exchange will wait for the dialed number to route the call.

of these "internal terminals" can be assigned one EAZ using the command AT&ZIn=m, where n=0-7 and m= 0-9. Command Function &ZI0=m assigns EAZ for X.75. &ZI1=m assigns EAZ for V.110. &ZI2=m assigns EAZ for V.120. &ZI3=m assigns EAZ for PPP, MPPP. &ZI4=m assigns EAZ for ISDN data, protocol auto- detection.
Each type of outgoing call can be assigned with one origination EAZ by using the command AT&ZOx=Origination_EAZ, where x = I for ISDN data calls, A for the analog adapter 1, and B for the analog adapter 2. The command AT&ZOx=// removes the assignment of the origination EAZ.
multiple distinct terminals. Each of these "internal terminals" can be assigned one ISDN number using the AT&ZIn=xxxx... command. The number assigned by AT&ZIn=xxxx... can be interpreted as either the MSN or the subaddress. This is determined by the bit 5 of S119 as follows: S119.5=0 - the number is treated as the MSN (default).
If you want the TA to answer inbound calls as often as possible, you can set the best-effort call answering bit as follows: S119.3=0 - Answer calls only when numbers match (by default). S119.3=1 - Best effort call answering. Ambiguity Resolution Switch for Voice Calls (non-data) For a voice or voice-band-data call, if the &ZI number assignment can tell which of the analog adapters is being addressed, then the call will be delivered to the proper destination.
[FM:[[Prefix]Calling-Party-Number][/Subaddress/]] [TO:[Called-Party-Number][/Subaddress/]] <CR><LF> RING <CR><LF> RING <CR><LF> The display of address information between the first RING and the second RING can be disabled by setting ATS84.4=1. The term [Prefix] is a predefined number string to be added in front of the Calling-party-number before sending it to the DTE.
Point-to-Point Configuration In some areas, since Direct-Dial-In (DDI) number is less expensive than MSN, users may want to subscribe to point-to-point ISDN to employ the DDI function. In this case, only one TA can be connected to the ISDN line and the TEI (Terminal Equipment Identifier) is always ZERO.
N0 - unknown (default if Nn is omitted). N1 - ISDN numbering plan (Rec. E.164). N3 - data numbering plan (Rec. X.121). N4 - telex numbering plan (Rec. F.69). N8 - national standard numbering plan. N9 - private numbering plan. Zn specifies the type of the Subaddress: Z0 - NSAP (Rec.
N1 - ISDN numbering plan (Rec. E.164). The destination_address is the ISDN phone number of the called party. The last digit of this number is the EAZ. Use ATDL to redial the last dialed ISDN phone number.

Security Functions The omni provides security functions that may be enabled to prevent unauthorized connections. Two types of security functions are provided. Security Types and Levels Type 1 security is to be used when the remote TA is a ZyXEL ISDN Type 2 security is to be used with non-ZyXEL remote TA’s.
Level 1 security Will only perform password checking. With Level 1 security, the local TA will maintain the connection if the password is matched, otherwise the line will be disconnected. Level 2 security Provides Calling Party Number checking and call-back, the call-back number is pre-stored in the password table.
Password Check CPN Check OK and S119.6=0 CPN Check OK and S119.6=1 CPN unmatched CPN not Available AT Commands Setting and Modifying Passwords Up to 40 user passwords can be defined using the AT*Hn command, where “n” represents the index to the entry. Numbers between 0-39 are accepted.
You will be asked for the original password and a new password. Then re-enter the new password for verification. For example: Password: ******** (Enter current supervisory password) Password: ******** (Enter new supervisory password) Verify: ******** (Enter the new supervisory password again) Use command AT*Hn to modify the “n”th user password.
Upgrading Your omni This chapter describes how to upgrade flash EPROM firmware when it is available. Upgrading with Flash EPROM Your TA employs a flash EEPROM (Electronic Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory) that lets you conveniently update firmware and program the TA with new features and enhanced functions.

Diagnostic Command. TA Reset. Power-on Self-test At each power-up or upon a reset command from the panel, the TA will test the ROM code checksum, system RAM memory, EEPROM, digital circuits and analog circuit calibrations. The LNK LED will light up for half a second to indicate the success of the TA's power on self-test.

resource. According to the EPA’s analysis, you may decide to fix the problem yourself (e.g. modify the configuration and try again) or log the analyzed results as a file (a very comprehensive bug report), and then send it to ZyXEL’s Tech Support department. Capturing the Protocol Data The data captured by the EPA can be classified into three categories: B-channel user data protocols.
beginning of data capture. The resolution of this timing information is in 0.01 second intervals. The following commands determine the kind of protocol data to be captured by the EPA: AT Command Description ATCDn Disable the capture of D-channel protocols. Enable the capture of D-channel protocols (default).

Command Description ATC$ Invokes the interpretation function of the embedded protocol analyzer and displays the results on the DTE screen. The analyzed results can be viewed as if it were in a full screen editor. Several number keys are used to control the display. For PC users, it is convenient to use the keys on the numeric keypad (make sure that Num-Lock is on.).
AT Command Set Reference Operation Modes of the DTE Interface There are two operation modes for the DTE interface: Simplex mode - used for conventional AT Command operation. Multiplex mode - used as an internal interface for ZyXEL CAPI drivers. Simplex mode In simplex mode, the TA128 is used just like an ordinary TA.
AT Command Descriptions An AT Command is a command in asynchronous data format issued by the computer to the TA through the asynchronous computer- modem interface. AT Commands control the TA's behavior and actions. To send an AT Command from a computer to the TA, you must be running communication software and the TA must be in the command state.

Status Registers and Result Codes S-registers (Status Registers) contain values that determine and reflect how your Terminal Adapter (TA) operates and executes commands. You can read the values and change them, either using terminal commands or the TA's panel controls with the same results. Every user profile corresponds to a separate set of S-register values, but when we mention S-registers, we are referring to the ones that correspond to the active profile.
n=1-4 - View settings for user profile number (n-1). n=5 - View the factory default settings. n=6 - View the analog adapter’s setting, Phone 1 (non-data). n=7 - View the analog adapter’s setting, Phone 2 (omni.net). The S-register values may be displayed in either Decimal or Hexadecimal format when using the preceding commands.
