Appendix A: PRI Provisioning Instructions and Form
ORIS PRI Provisioning Instructions
Purpose:
To provide detailed parameters for ordering and installing a PRI line. The PRI or Primary
Rate Interface is one of two subscriber "interfaces" in ISDN. PRI is also referred to as "enhanced T-1"
and some long distance carriers are only delivering T-1 in this format. In the ISDN PRI format, it has
major benefits – chiefly the extra bandwidth and benefits derived from the much faster out-of-band
signaling. PRI consists of 24 "bearer" or B-channels operating at 64,000 bits per second. One of the
B-channels is typically used to transmit signaling information for the other 23 channels. In Europe
and other regions, there are may be additional B-channels.
Instructions:
Use the attached provisioning instructions to order the PRI line through your des-
ignated communications carrier. Provide the order/carrier information below and provide to your
Stryker Project Engineer.
