In addition to the items that came with your Pipeline, you must have additional

Hardware and interfaces you need to supply
In addition to the contents of the Pipeline box, you need other hardware and at
least one of the telecommunications services described in this section.
An ISDN line
To use your Pipeline, you need a properly configured ISDN Basic Rate Interface
(BRI) telephone line. For information on ordering ISDN service, search for the
document, “Ordering ISDN Service for the Ascend Pipeline 25, 75, and 85” at
www.ascend.com. This information is for service available in North America
only.
Telephone equipment and cables
If your Pipeline has enabled phone ports on the back panel, you can optionally
connect telephone equipment, such as a conventional analog telephone, fax
machine, or modem. If you do so, you will need conventional telephone cable
(normally with RJ-11 plugs at each end) for each device you connect. You can
attach a Caller ID device on either phone port. The Pipeline does not support
digital telephone equipment, such as an ISDN telephone.
