SPID assignments

Some ISDN switches, or provider implementations of switches, require Service Provider Identifiers (SPID).
You need to know the type required for your reference configuration.
You can use any SPID numbering scheme that matches your requirement. We support three types of SPID
numbering (Table 6). Whenever you change the SPID, reboot the simulator and preferably the TE device.
