Ordering ISDN Service (USA and Canada)


This appendix applies only to Lucent OR-U (TM) users installing the unit in the USA and Canada.

Contact your local telephone carrier for information about 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 BRI (Basic Rate Interface)
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.

  1. Ask your provider what the costs are for Circuit-Switched Voice/Circuit-Switched Data (CSV/CSD) and for Circuit-Switched Data (CSD) and select the least expensive service. 
  2. The OR-U can be used for data transmission only. However, many ISDN providers offer both data and voice service over ISDN at lesser cost 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, though 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."
  3. Be ready to provide switch type translations. 
  4. 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
    ----------------------------------------------------
  5. Choose a carrier for long distance ISDN service. 
  6. It may be easiest to stay with the same company that provides your existing analog long distance service, though this is not a requirement.

  7. Configure your site wiring to support ISDN service. 
  8. 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, rather than the RJ-11 cable provided with the OR-U.

  9. Get your Switch Type, Service Profile Identifiers SPID(s) and Directory Number(s) from your ISDN provider. 
  10. Table A1 provides a form to record your ISDN service information. You will need this information to configure the OR-U.

    -------------------------------------------------
    Footnote 1:In most cases, 5ESS Custom Point-to-Point
    does not require SPIDs. In addition, the service
    provider will only issue one directory number, used
    for S1 and S2.
    --------------------------------------------------

    To configure the ISDN Switch Type, SPID, and/or port directory numbers on the OR-U, see the "ISDN Connections" chapter of the Configuration Guide for PortMaster Products on our web site at www.ra.lucent.com.

  11. Get the ISDN telephone number from your Internet Service Provider. 
  12. Contact your Internet (or other) Service Provider for a telephone number that supports ISDN connections. Record it here for later use:

    Note:  Your ISDN Provider is the company that provides ISDN service to your business or residence. Your 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 some.  Some local telephone companies now offer internet services.
