The configuration wizard
41
Configure the external connection
This configuration item is only available when at least one of the two S
0
ports is set to
external, i.e. for connection to the NTBA of an ISDN connection.
Here you configure whether you have an ISDN point-to-multipoint or a point-to-point
connection. With an ISDN point-to-multipoint connection with one connection you
have more then one (usually three, ten at most) different telephone numbers. These
can also be consecutive. The point-to-multipoint connection is the connection usually
used at home or in small companies. If you have more then one point-to-multipoint
connection these will have different telephone numbers. With an ISDN point-to-point
connection you will get a trunk number with an extension range. As extension num-
bers with one ISDN connection you will get one digit extensions (0 - 9), with more
than one connection you will get two digit connections (e.g. 0 and 10 - 29). All ISDN
connections have the same telephone numbers.
In case of doubt consult the documents of your ISDN connection or your telephony
service provider.
Note:
The wizard can only configure your telephone system with the connec-
tion type point-to-multipoint connection. If you select point-to-point
connection the wizard will be closed. In this case you will have to per-
form the configuration manually.
