Configuring ISDN (models with PIC bay)

This section describes how to configure ISDN on an ISDN expansion option on
your router using the command line interface. If you want to use ISDN, your
router must have a PIC bay with the appropriate ISDN Port Interface Card
installed. Simple ISDN configurations for Basic Rate ISDN, Primary Rate ISDN,
ISDN Dial on Demand and ISDN Bandwidth on Demand are described.
ISDN on the router requires minimal user configuration, other than selecting a
territory, creating call definitions and configuring the Point-to-Point Protocol
(PPP) to use the ISDN calls. The lower layers of the ISDN protocol stack (BRI,
LAPD and Q.931) are automatically configured when the router starts up.
The factory default hardware and software settings described here are correct
for European Union (EU) countries. For other countries, contact your
authorised distributor or reseller for details of local requirements.

Ordering ISDN in the USA and Canada

In the United States and Canada, Basic Rate ISDN is provided using National
ISDN-1, 5ESS or DMS-100 formats, all of which are supported by the router. If
National ISDN-1 is available, you can select from a list of "Capability
Packages", each providing different features. Contact your ISDN service
provider for more information. The router will accept either one or two Service
Profile Identifiers (SPIDs).

Configuring Basic Rate ISDN

To connect a router with an AT-AR021(U) PIC installed to a Basic Rate ISDN
service the following steps are required:
1. Check BRI hardware configuration.
2. Select country or territory.
3. Set directory numbers and subaddresses (outside USA).
4. Set switch type and SPIDs (USA only).
5. Create call definitions.
6. Create PPP interfaces.
To configure Basic Rate ISDN follow these steps
1. Check BRI hardware configuration
Check that the AT-AR021(U) PIC has the correct termination for the local
conditions. The AR410 router can only operate in TE mode and is shipped
with the standard 100W termination jumpers removed. This is appropriate
for most situations, where the building wiring provides the ISDN
termination. Your authorised distributor or reseller can advise you
whether or not you should install termination jumpers.
