Making an ISDN connection
Making an ISDN connection
Before you connect the Eiconcard, check with your ISDN provided to
determine if you need an NT1 to terminate your ISDN line. In some
countries, the NT1 is installed by your ISDN provider and resides in the
central switching office. In other countries, the NT1 must be installed at
your premises, either by you or your ISDN provider. You can order an
NT1 from Eicon Networks or from another supplier.
In Europe and most countries worldwide
In Europe and most countries outside of North America and Japan, the
NT1 is installed at the central switching office by the ISDN provider. In
these areas, the Eiconcard can be connected directly to the ISDN line
using the included cable. Plug one end of the cable into the Eiconcard
and plug the other end into the ISDN wall jack.
In North America and other countries
In North America and some other countries, the NT1 is installed at your
premises with its “U” jack connected to the ISDN wall jack. The
Eiconcard can be connected directly to the “S/T” jack on the NT1 using
the included cable.
