Channel
An ISDN line, like an analogue telephone line, has two cables running into
your house but a distinction is made in ISDN between the two logical user
channels, known as the B-channels (which have nothing to do with the
physical cables) and the control channel, known as the D-channel.

COLP
(Connected line identification presentation)

Consultation call
You are engaged in a call. You can use the “Consultation” function to
interrupt the call briefly to set up a second external call or internal call to
another subscriber. If you speak to the other person and then end the call,
this was a consultation call. If you switch back and forth between the first
and second parties, this is called toggling.
