Cascading codecs requires a PRI crossover 
cable, wired as described above. 
 
NOTE: TANDBERG recommends always using category 5 cabling. 
 

PRI T1 (US only): 

Network Service Facility (NSF) can be configured as blank/no value (i.e. NSF not used – 
default) or any value between 0 and 31, to describe the service facility on the PRI/T1 line.
