Introduction to the ISDN Interface Overview Overview Description of the ISDN Interface The ISDN Interface is a Primary Rate Interface (PRI) digital trunk card that provides 23 voice channels (“B” channels) and a control channel (“D” channel) over a four-wire circuit. ISDN lines can be leased from local exchange carriers and long-distance carriers. Note: The current version of the ISDN supports voice communications only. Data can be transmitted only if it reaches the ISDN in analog form.
Pre-Installation Requirements Introduction to the ISDN Interface Pre-Installation Requirements Use the following guidelines to prepare your site for ISDN installation. Ordering ISDN The ISDN PRI provides a flexible method of providing access to the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network). Because of the numerous ways that an ISDN span can be configured by the CO, it is essential that the DBS configuration and the provisioning of the CO be compatible.

Chapter 2. Installation This section describes guidelines and procedures for installing the ISDN Interface. Once the ISDN Interface is installed, refer to Chapter 3 - “Quick Start Programming” or Chapter 4 - “Programming Reference” for programming instructions. This chapter covers the following topics.
2-2 DBS-EX22-530 Revised April 2000
Installation Guidelines Guidelines Read the following guidelines before beginning ISDN installation. Installation instructions begin on page 2-14. Hardware Requirements • The system configuration determines what cards and cables must be purchased for ISDN. See “DBS Equipment” on page 1-8 for more information. • The installer must provide a Channel Service Unit (CSU) that complies with FCC Part 15 and Part 68. The CSU is installed between the DBS and the public network.
Guidelines Installation • Fractional ISDN can be used when fewer than 23 ISDN trunks are needed. Fractional ISDN allows you to use only a portion of the 23 channels provided on the ISDN card. • Fractional ISDN per port assignments require the VB-43511A version of the loop start trunk card. The older VB-43511 version may be used with fractional ISDN but requires that the trunks be assigned in blocks of 8.
Installation Guidelines Trunk Assignments for Single-Cabinet Systems • Programming is not required to associate trunk ports with slot locations. However, you must use programming to specify that a combination of ISDN and analog trunks is installed, and you must also specify how many ISDN channels are used. • Fractional ISDN per port assignments require the VB-43511A version of the loop start trunk card.

ISDN System Settings Programming Reference Clock Settings Parameter Sync Source 1 Description The Sync Card (installed on the CPC-EX) provides a method of synchronizing the DBS with the public network. This parameter determines the first clocking source for network synchronization. If the first source fails, the system will switch to the second source. The system will attempt to go back to the first source based on the value entered under “Network Re-sync Timer” (page 4-7).
Programming Reference ISDN System Settings Parameter Sync Source 2 Description Determines the source of clocking for the second sync source. The second sync source is used if the first sync source fails. The system will attempt to switch from the second source back to the first source based on the value entered under “Network Re-sync Timer” (page 4-7). If the second source fails and the first source is not working, the system will switch to the third source.
ISDN System Settings Programming Reference Parameter Sync Source 3 Description Determines the source of clocking for the third sync source. The third sync source is used if both the first and second source fail. The system will attempt to switch from the third source back to the first source based on the value entered under “Network Re-sync Timer” (page 4-7). In most cases, a system with one ISDN has the 3rd sync source set to “0.” Systems with two ISDNs normally have the 3rd sync source set to “3.
Programming Reference System-Wide Timers System-Wide Timers Parameter Network Re-sync Timer Description If one clock source fails, the system will switch to another clock source. The re-sync timer determines how often the system attempts to return to the original clock source. For example, if the first clock source (1st sync) fails, the system switches to the second source. However, the system will try to return to the first source based on the re-sync timer.
System-Wide Timers Programming Reference Parameter Ringing Timer (T301) Description Determines how long the called party will ring before the DBS will disconnect the call.

Digital Pad Settings Programming Reference Digital Pad Settings Parameter Description Digital Pad Settings Adjusts the volume of connections made via the ISDN. Default volume levels are included for connections between different types of terminals or circuits. For example, a K-TEL to ISDN connection may use one volume setting, while an SLT-to-ISDN connection may use another. The volume settings are controlled by changing a pad number, which in turn changes the loss or gain of the connection.
Programming Reference Options Digital Pad Settings Figure 4-2 shows the default values for the most common ISDN connections. Figure 4-3 lists the adjustments provided by each pad number. Figure 4-2. Default pad values Figure 4-3. Pad Nos. From To Setting Value Pad No. ISDN #1 K-TEL 16 -2 dB 0 0 dB ISDN #2 K-TEL 16 -2 dB 1 +2 dB ISDN #1 SLT 16 -2 dB . . ISDN #2 SLT 16 -2 dB . . K-TEL ISDN #1 16 -2 dB . .
Digital Pad Settings Programming Reference Extension Port Settings Parameter Station Port Class Description By default, DBS phones are assigned a circuit type, based on whether they are KTELs or SLTs. The circuit type is used with digital pad settings to determine the loss/gain settings for connections to the ISDN. (See “Digital Pad Setting” on page 4-12.) The Port Class parameter is provided in case a specific phone or group of phones needs a unique pad level.
Programming Reference Digital Pad Settings Trunk Port Settings Parameter Trunk Port Class Description By default, DBS trunks are assigned a circuit type, based on whether they are analog or ISDN. The circuit type is used with digital pad settings to determine the loss/gain settings for connections to the ISDN. (See “Digital Pad Setting” on page 4-12.) The Port Class parameter is provided in case a specific trunk or group of trunks needs a unique pad level.
Master and Slave Settings Programming Reference Master and Slave Settings Trunk Configuration Parameter Number of ISDN Channels Description Determines how many ISDN channels are used. Though each ISDN Interface provides 23 trunk channels, ISDN trunks do not increase the overall trunk capacity of the DBS. Each ISDN channel subtracts from the total number of analog trunks that can be installed. The number of analog trunks that can be used are always decremented in quantities of 1.
Programming Reference Alarm Settings Alarm Settings Alarm Descriptions ISDN alarms can be reported through LEDs on the ISDN card, an alarm relay on the ISDN MDF card, or FF keys on a key phone. Table 4-1 summarizes the types of alarms that can occur with the ISDN. Table 4-2 summarizes alarm settings for all three types of alarms. Table 4-1. ISDN alarm definitions Alarm Description Notification Red The DBS activates a red alarm when a loss of signal or out-of-frame condition lasts for more than 2.

Programming Master cabinet: FF1 9# 4# 4# 1# 7# (0-1)# Slave cabinet: FF1 9# 4# 5# 1# 7# (0-1)# Options 0=No 1=Yes Parameter Red Alarm Detection Description The default value for this parameter is determined by network specifications. It should not be changed. If a red alarm occurs, the “CFA” LED on the ISDN card lights.
Programming Reference Alarm Settings Alarm Timers Parameter Red Alarm Recovery Description Determines how long the DBS tries to recover from a red alarm before it re-syncs the ISDN trunk. Note: For changes to this parameter to take effect, the system must be powered down, then back up again.
Alarm Settings Programming Reference Error Counters for FF Alarm Keys The following counters determine when FF alarm keys light. FF alarm keys light when an error counter exceeds the specified number within 24 hours. FF alarm keys can indicate the following types of alarms: • Red alarms • Loss of signal alarms • Sync loss alarms • Yellow alarms • Slip alarms • Frame loss alarms. In most cases, the default values for the error counters do not need to be changed.
Programming Reference Alarm Settings Parameter Slip Counter Description Determines how many slips occur before a Slip FF key is lit. The FF key lights when the counter exceeds the specified number within a 24-hour period. This parameter also determines the number of slips that can occur before the system switches to the next clock source. When the system switches to the next clock source, the slip error counter for the first clock source is reset. Slips are losses of data bits due to framing errors.
Alarm Settings Programming Reference Parameter Loss of Signal Counter Description Determines how many instances of loss of signal occur before a Signal Loss FF key is lit. The FF key lights when the counter exceeds the specified number within a 24-hour period. (See page 4-35 for instructions on programming ISDN FF keys.
Programming Reference Alarm Settings Alarm Relay Controls Parameter Yellow Alarm Relay Description Determines whether the system closes the alarm relay on the ISDN MDF card in the event of yellow alarms. The alarm relay can be connected to an external alarm device such as a buzzer. The external alarm device must be purchased separately; it is not provided with the DBS ISDN. (The “Yel Alm Det” parameter on page 4-21 determines how many yellow alarms occur before the relay closes.
Alarm Settings Programming Reference Parameter Sync Loss Relay Description Determines whether the system closes the alarm relay on the ISDN MDF card in the event of sync loss alarms. The alarm relay can be connected to an external alarm device such as a buzzer. The external alarm device must be purchased separately; it is not provided with the DBS ISDN. Sync-loss alarms result from clocking errors.
Programming Reference Alarm Settings Parameter Relay Reset Description Determines whether the ISDN alarm relay is cleared (opened) automatically or manually. If cleared automatically, the relay is opened approximately one second after the alarm condition ceases. If cleared manually, the relay can be opened by entering the Alarm Relay Clear code.
Trunk Settings Programming Reference Trunk Settings Parameter Trunk Type Description Determines whether the trunk circuit is an analog loop start, analog ground start, analog DID, T1, CID, or ISDN. Note: For changes to this parameter to take effect, the system must be powered down, then back up again.
Programming Reference Trunk Settings Parameter Clear ISDN DID Assignments Description Removes all DID assignments for ISDN. Programming FF1 9# 2# (0/1)# Options 0 - Do not clear assignments 1 - Clear assignments Parameter Inbound ISDN DID Assignment Description Assigns an extension to each ISDN incoming DID number. Programming FF1 9# 3# (0000-9999)# (100-699)# Parameter Default DID Assignments Description Assigns an extension to ring if no DID number is received on a trunk port.
Trunk Settings Programming Reference Parameter Auto Progress Setting Description Specifies whether progress messages are supplied by the DBS to the ISDN span (master or slave cabinet). Programming FF1 9# 4# 4# 5# 2# (0-1)# (master cabinet) FF1 9# 4# 5# 5# 2# (0-1)# (slave cabinet) Options 0 - Disable 1 - Enable Parameter Network Facility Setting Description Determines if a call is a Software Defined Network (SDN) call (AT&T option) or general Megacom call.
Programming Reference Trunk Settings Parameter ISDN International Dial Code Deduction Description Specifies if the 011 is sent with an international call or if the 011 is deleted. Programming FF1 9# 4# 4# 5# 5# (0-1)# (master cabinet) FF1 9# 4# 5# 5# 5# (0-1)# (slave cabinet) Options 0 - Send as is (with 011) 1 - Do not send 011 Parameter ISDN Long Distance Code “1” Deduction Description Specifies if the leading “1” is sent with a long distance call or if the leading “1” is deleted.
Trunk Settings Programming Reference Parameter ISDN DID Flexible Ringing Assignments Description This parameter enables or disables ringing for specific ISDN Inbound DID numbers during Day, Night, Delayed Day and Delayed Night modes.
Programming Reference Trunk Settings Parameter Multiple DID/DNIS Description This programming address controls two functions. If only analog trunks are used, a “1” turns on multiple DID numbering. Multiple DID numbering allows the assignment of one DID number to multiple extensions. If one DID number is assigned to multiple stations, the stations ring simultaneously when the DID number is dialed. More than one DID number can be assigned to a single extension.
Extension Settings Programming Reference Extension Settings Parameter ANI Display Assignment Description Some ISDN lines provide Automatic Number Identification (ANI). This service is similar to Caller ID by providing the number of the calling party. For DID calls with ANI information provided, this parameter determines if ANI number or DID number is displayed on the called telephone.
Programming Reference FF Key Settings FF Key Settings Parameter FF Alarm keys Description This command dedicates FF keys for ISDN alarms. The FF key lights when alarm occurrences exceed a specified number within a 24-hour period. The alarm keys can be assigned to any key telephone. However, the keys will only work on a non-attendant phone that has the programming authorization code (#98 9999) activated. With attendant phones, the keys work whether or not the programming authorization code is activated.
Special ISDN Function Codes Programming Reference Special ISDN Function Codes The following function codes are used for troubleshooting and maintenance of the ISDN Interface. These codes can be entered remotely by dialing into the DBS and entering the ISDN maintenance mode. To enter the ISDN maintenance mode, type an uppercase “T” at the REMT prompt. Parameter Loopback 1 Description Loopbacks provide diagnostic tests of the ISDN circuit or the ISDN connection to the CO.
Programming Reference Special ISDN Function Codes Parameter Remote Loopback Description This command only applies to a DBS within a private network. The command is entered at one DBS in order to loopback through another DBS. For example, to initiate a loopback from DBS “B” to DBS “A,” this command would be entered at DBS “B.” In order for the loopback to work, DBS “A” must have the “Remote Loopback” option turned on in system programming. Notes: 1.
Special ISDN Function Codes Programming Reference Parameter Forced Re-synchronization Description Re-synchronizes the DBS ISDN with the public network. Notes: 1. Forced re-synchronization disconnects existing calls. 2. Before executing this code, you must first enter the programming authorization code (#98 9999). Execution Master: ON/OFF #94 6 Slave: ON/OFF #95 6 Options None. Re-synchronization begins as soon as the code is entered.
Appendix A CPC-EX 2.3 Updates This Appendix describes the feature additions and software corrections for the DBS phone system with CPC-EX Version 2.3. Note that not all features described in this Appendix relate specifically to ISDN functionality, but rather to the DBS CPC-EX overall system. However, several of these updates do directly pertain to ISDN and should be noted accordingly. New Features • Bus Monitor Time Print Change - Bus Monitor now prints the time every one minute.
Appendix A. CPC-EX 2.3 Feature Update Section 530-ISDN Ref. *Private Password - The private password feature allows a user to enter programming and access to all programming parameters including the system and remote passwords. The private password may always be used to enter the system. *Additional Remote Administration Interface (RAI) Access Method - In addition to the existing RAI access, a new RAI access method has been added.
Unusual First Ring on Incoming ISDN Calls - Previously incoming calls on ISDN line had a long ringing pattern (6 seconds ON or more, then OFF). This only occurred on the first ring. After the first ring, the ringing pattern returned to normal. The ringing pattern for incoming ISDN calls now rings as expected. Calling Party Could be Heard Between Rings - In the previous version, when an ISDN call was transferred, the station receiving the call could hear the calling party between rings.
Appendix A. CPC-EX 2.3 Feature Update Section 530-ISDN Ref. Off-Hook Voice Announce (OHVA) via API Description This feature provides support of the DBS Off-Hook Voice Announce feature via the API. This API feature addition allows applications that utilize API integration with the DBS to have access to the OHVA feature. Programming No new programming is required. Operation N/A Note The OHVA feature via the API has the same feature limitations as listed in the DBS manual.
Call Record (OHVA) via API Description This feature provides support of the DBS Call Record feature via the API. This API feature addition allows applications that utilize API integration with the DBS to have access to the Call Record feature. Programming No new programming is required. Operation N/A Notes • The Call Record feature via the API has the same feature limitations as described for DBS CPC-EX ver. 2.1. DBS-2.
Appendix A. CPC-EX 2.3 Feature Update Section 530-ISDN Ref. Special Features The following features marked with an “*”, UNA Transfer, UNA Call Reversion, Forwarding to UNA for CO Held Calls, All Ring Group, Private Password, Additional RAI Access, and All Ring Group features have been fully tested in our laboratory but not in live Beta trials. These features are to be considered as Beta-level features.
Notes • When a call is transferred to UNA, the trunk caller hears the selected hold sound source. • When a call is transferred to UNA, the UNA continues to ring until the call is answered (by dialing 78 or direct trunk access) or the caller hangs up. • If multiple callers ring the UNA, the UNA calls are picked up on a first-in/ first-out method. • The UNA cannot be a member of a hunt group. • The UNA can be a member of an All Ring Group. (See “Forwarding to UNA for CO Held Call”.
Appendix A. CPC-EX 2.3 Feature Update Section 530-ISDN Ref. Operation When the UNA Reversion Timer is set to 0, a call that reverts to the attendant and is not answered, continues to ring at the attendant. It does not revert to UNA. When the UNA Reversion Timer is set to a value other than 0, a call that reverts to the attendant and is not answered within the specified time reverts to UNA. To answer a UNA call: 1. Go off-hook. 2. Dial 78. or 1.
Programming No new programming required. However, the Class of Service for the forwarding station must allow Call Forwarding to be Set/Reset for this feature to operate. Operation To set UNA forwarding: 1. At the forwarding extension, go off-hook or press ON/OFF. 2. Dial 725. 3. Hang up or press ON/OFF. To cancel UNA forwarding: 1. At the forwarding extension, go off-hook or press ON/OFF. 2. Dial 72. 3. Hang up or press ON/OFF. To transfer a CO call to an UNA forwarding extension: 1.
Appendix A. CPC-EX 2.3 Feature Update Section 530-ISDN Ref. • An extension user can only set “Do Not Disturb” or one type of call forwarding at a time including call forwarding to UNA. When the user sets DND or a call forwarding type, the previously set DND or call forwarding type is cleared. • Call forward to UNA cannot be assigned to an FF-Key. *All Ring Group Description A new type of ringing group has been added - the All Ring Group.
When a call is transferred to the All Ring Group, every phone in the All Ring Group rings. When any phone in the group is answered, all phones stop ringing. Notes • The All Ring Group may include the UNA (780). • The original call must be a CO call. An internal call cannot be transferred to an All Ring Group. If you attempt to transfer an internal call to an All Ring Group, you will receive busy tone. • A call presented to an All Ring Group will not recall or revert.
Appendix A. CPC-EX 2.3 Feature Update Section 530-ISDN Ref. Notes • You must enter programming using the private password to view the private password address. The private password address will not appear and is not accessible if programming is entered using the system or remote password. • If the system or remote password is set to the same value as the private password, then the private password address will not be accessible.
