CHAPTER 1:
QUICK START
The ISDN Demonstrator is easier to operate than most communications
devices designed for ISDN-BRI applications. It functions in the background,
providing two lines of end-to-end ISDN-BRI service.
Because the Simulator was designed primarily for people who demonstrate,
functionally test, or configure ISDN-BRI devices, you do not need to
understand ISDN protocols or read the entire User’s Manual to use it. Simply
follow the instructions outlined below to successfully demonstrate most
ISDN-BRI communications devices and computer applications.
Step 1
Place the Simulator on a flat surface near the ISDN equipment
to be connected.
Step 2
Insert the power cord into the three-pronged outlet located at
the rear of the Simulator. Plug the other end into a standard
115 VAC, 60 Hz wall outlet.
Step 3
Apply power to the Simulator by pressing the power switch -
located at the rear of the Simulator - to the PWR ON position.
An internal self-test, lasting about 30 seconds, is performed.
The STATUS LED located on the front panel will switch
between Red and Green during this self-test. The STATUS
LED changes to a continuous solid green if the self-test is
completed satisfactorily.
Step 4
The Simulator is configured at the factory for National ISDN-1
protocol. The Simulator is provisioned for default service, as
normally practiced for the selected switch type. Most
communications devices operate correctly with this
provisioning. However, if your communications device does
not operate correctly, you may need to change the Simulator’s
provisioning. These settings are fully described in Chapter 3. A
list of recommended settings for different terminal types (AT&T
CUSTOM) is available in the ISDN Demonstrator configuration
software.
NOTE: The instructions for many ISDN-BRI
communications devices may specify Switch Provisioning
required of the telephone company. Provisioning is a
means of configuring the ISDN switch so it knows what
kind and how many calls your communications devices
can handle, up to the limits imposed by ISDN-BRI
technology. Provisioning also specifies which types of
Supplementary Services your equipment may request,
such as call appearances, display support, etc.
Step 5
A 3.5" diskette is provided with the ISDN Demonstrator to
change the configuration of the ISDN Demonstrator. To install
this windows based software, place the diskette in the
