Configuration parameters
To configure your ISDN adapter, you must supply values
for
interrupt vector
and
I/O address
that do not conflict with other devices on the system. The
Network Configuration Manager supplies rational
default values.
NOTE:
You cannot use the Device Configuration Utility to set
configuration parameters for networking devices.
In addition, for each B-channel you want to use, you must
supply values for:
ISDN address-
your ISDN number, supplied by
your ISDN provider
ISDN subaddress-
Optional. Two local terminals can share the same ISDN
number by using a local subaddress to identify each terminal on
the ISDN Basic Rate Interface (BRI).
Subaddresses provide an additional addressing capability outside
of the ISDN numbering plan and are transparent to the
public network. For example, a subaddress can be used to
identify a particular station on a Private Branch Exchange
(PBX). Local subaddresses are not always required and are
defined by the user.
SPID-
Service Profile Identifier.
If your adapter conforms to the North American
AT&T 5ESS or National ISDN 1
(NI-1) standards, you might be required enter a
SPID value.
The SPID usually consists of the ISDN line number
with a suffix and prefix used to identify line features required
by your ISDN provider's switch. If required, the
correct SPID values should be supplied by your ISDN
provider.
SPIDs are currently used only for circuit-switched
service, not packet-switched.
Line direction-
Both incoming and outgoing calls are enabled by default,
although you can disable either for special purposes.
When incoming calls are enabled, the ISDN port monitor
isdnmon(1M)
listens for incoming calls.
When outgoing calls are enabled,
your ISDN adapter is listed in the
Devices(4bnu)
file and is accessible to the ISDN dialer,
isdndialer(1M).
