Netopia ISDN Modem User’s Guide

Receiving data calls

The Netopia ISDN Modem can receive incoming circuit-switched 
data calls from other Netopia ISDN Modems or from ISDN devices 
and Switched 56 equipment. 

■

If you are using one B channel, and you receive a data call on 
the number associated with the other B channel, the incoming 
data call will ring through. 

■

If you are using one B channel, and you receive a data call on 
the number associated with the B channel you are using, the 
incoming data call will receive a busy signal unless your local 
switch is an AT&T 5ESS switch. An AT&T 5ESS switch will let 
the incoming data call roll over to the available B channel.

■

If both B channels are in use, you cannot receive a data call.
