Ordering ISDN Service (United States and Canada)This appendix applies only to Lucent OR-U (TM) users installing the unit in the United States and Canada. Call your local telephone carrier to request information regarding Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) service availability, pricing, and features. Typically there is an ISDN installation charge, a monthly flat rate service charge, and usage charges. For a list of ISDN providers in the USA and Canada see below. ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS:Your telephone carrier may inquire about your ISDN interface. Read the following information to the carrier:
"I have an ISDN device with a Basic Rate Interface (BRI) port which provides two 'B' channels for data and one 'D' channel for signaling. The BRI port has an integrated NT1, providing a U interface." Step by step instructions for ordering ISDN service are provided on the following pages.
The OR-U can be used for data transmission only. However, many ISDN providers offer both data and voice service over ISDN at a lesser charge than data only, and the router can use channels configured that way for transmitting data. If ordering voice and data is less expensive than data only, have both ISDN B channels configured for CSV/CSD. The router will only transmit data over the line. If data is less expensive than voice and data service, have the two ISDN B channels configured for CSD. The OR-U will work with either configuration. Ask your provider: "Does it cost more to configure my ISDN line for both voice and data than it does for just data"? If the answer is no, tell the provider: "Provision both ISDN B channels for voice and data and the D channel for call signaling". If the answer is yes (voice and data costs more than just data) tell the provider: "Provision both ISDN B channels for data only and the D channel for call signaling". Ask your provider: "What ISDN switch type will I be connected to"? Based on the answer, FAX or read them the appropriate one page table from this chapter: If the response is FAX (or read) from ------------------------------------------------------ "National ISDN-1" or "NI-1 compliant" Table A3 "AT&T 5ESS Custom Multi-Point" Table A4 "AT&T 5ESS Custom Point-to-Point" Table A5 "Northern Telecom DMS-100 Custom" or "DMS-100" Table A6 ------------------------------------------------------ It may be easiest to stay with the same company that provides your existing analog long distance service, however, this is not a requirement. Ask your provider what additional wiring is necessary to support ISDN on your premises. Depending on your existing wiring, you may need to have additional inside wiring or copper pair installed on your premises. Make sure your ISDN wall jack is RJ-11 (four pins, like a telephone jack). If it is an RJ-45 jack (8 pins), you will need to use an RJ-45 to RJ-45 cable, instead of the RJ-11 cable provided with the OR-U. Table A1 provides a form to record your ISDN service information. You need this information to configure the OR-U. Table A-1: Personal ISDN Service Information

Contact your Internet (or other) Service Provider for a phone number that supports ISDN connections. Record it here for later use: Note: Your ISDN Provider is the telephone company that provides ISDN service to your business or residence. An Internet Service Provider provides services to allow you to connect to the Internet. In some cases the ISDN provider and Internet Service Provider may be the same. Some local telephone companies are now internet providers. ISDN PROVIDERSTable A2 provides a list of some ISDN providers and their telephone numbers in the USA and Canada.
