ISDN Cause Codes
This appendix lists ISDN cause codes and their definitions.
•
Under Windows NT, ISDN cause codes are displayed and logged by
the ISDN Monitor program, which is installed automatically when
you install VS-Link. For more information about ISDN Monitor,
see the isdndiag readme and ISDN Monitor help files.
•
Under Novell NetWare, ISDN cause codes are sent to the console as
part of driver event and error messages. For more information, see
the Novell Error Codes and Messages section of this document.
