ISDN Phones – Some of the most complex and beneficial equipment in the ISDN
world, ISDN Phones require special provisioning as well. Fortunately,
most phone vendors supply you with the necessary provisioning
information for their equipment. The UTA120 analog ports act as ISDN
Phones as well, so much of the same provisioning options apply.
Usually phones will suggest the codes “U” or “V” which include
supplementary services, voice mail, message waiting, call forwarding,
call forwarding variables, and ACO (for U) or CACH/EKTS (for V).
ISDN Routers – Routers are devices that reside on networks that forward
information broadcast from its network to a remote network like the
Internet or a remote LAN. Many routers have built in server capabilities
and many other features for use on LANs. ISDN routers will not need
any more provisioning than the UTA120 unless specifically stated in
your routers documentation. If the routers use D-Channel Packets or
AO/DI, see AO/DI earlier this section.
Video Conferencing – Desktop Video Conferencing equipment is an excellent
application of ISDN, and with the UTA120, some units can bring the
Internet or other data applications into the picture. Provisioning notes
for your video equipment should be included with that equipment in its
documentation.
Remember that these devices should add provisioning not replace it. If you want
code “V” for your UTA120, but your video says code “R” (a data only code), use
code “V”, and add any notes from equipment documentation.
ALTERNATIVE IOCS
There are alternatives to IOCs called EZ-ISDN packages. If the EZ codes are
used, the codes “EZ-2” and “EZ-2A” are almost identical to “U” and “V”
respectively. Try to use these codes if possible, although “EZ-1” and “EZ-1A”
may only be available. “EZ-1” and “EZ-1A” are like “U” and “V”, but with fewer
features. Check with your Telephone Company for specific code information.
