800 NI-BRI Module
Available for Release 4.0 and later systems, this module supplies eight line/trunk
jacks for connecting central office facilities that use the standard National ISDN 1
(Integrated Services Digital Network 1) protocol and the BRI (Basic Rate
Interface) access arrangement (this combination is abbreviated NI-1 BRI ). These
digital facilities are available from COs in many areas.
Each facility actually includes two "virtual" lines, two B-channels for carrying voice
and data, as well as a third D-channel for handling signaling and maintenance.

The 800 NI-BRI module is not available in Behind Switch mode.
