3.2 Arranging ISDN Service
Before you install your Remote Access Concentrator, we recommend that you contact your telco or service
provider and arrange for ISDN service compatible with the Concentrator:
1. Make sure that they use a type of ISDN central-office switch that the Concentrator supports.
2. Order an ISDN PRI line if you haven’t done so already.
3. Ask them for the ISDN line’s phone number, any prefix necessary for dialing, and the specs for line
encoding, framing, and (for T1 models) the T1 LBO.
For more details, see the “ISDN Line Ordering,” “ISDN PRI Line Information,” and “Telephone Switch
Support” sections in the Concentrator’s HTML documentation.
