This appendix provides information on ordering ISDN service for PortMaster Office

Router users installing the OR-U, OR-U-AP, OR-ST, and OR-ST-AP in the United States

and Canada.

Complete the following steps to order ISDN basic rate interface (BRI) service from

your telephone service provider:

1. Call your local service provider to find out about ISDN BRI service

availability, pricing, and features.

Typically you are charged an ISDN installation cost, a monthly flat rate for service,

and usage costs.

2. When ordering channel provisioning, compare the costs of circuit-

switched voice/circuit-switched data (CSV/CSD) service and CSD-only

service, and select the less expensive service.

Although Office Router ISDN models can be used for data transmission only, many

ISDN providers offer data and voice service at a lower rate than data-only service.

Because the Office Router transmits data over B channels configured for both

voice and data as well as for data only, you can choose the less costly alternative.

3. Determine the ISDN switch type.

Ask your provider what type of ISDN switch you will be connected to.
