Configuring for ISDN BRI Signaling
CAUTION: Before you begin to configure the BRI-ST card, be sure to wait
3 minutes after you insert the BRI-ST card into the chassis.
To configure for ISDN BRI signaling:
1 Select NBX NetSet > Device Configuration > Digital Line Cards.
2 In the T1/ISDN Board List, find the MAC address of the BRI-ST board that
you recorded before you inserted the card into the chassis.
3 Select the BRI-ST card from the list and click Modify.
4 Scroll through the Channel List to verify that the system lists all eight
channels. The channel numbers appear after the MAC address, separated
by a hyphen.
Example:
2...00:01:03:48:e0:4e-4...New Trunk.
The 4 after the hyphen indicates channel number 4.
5 To change the name of the BRI-ST card, edit the contents of the Board
Name field to help you to identify the BRI-ST card in device lists.
6 Enable the On Line check box.
7 Click OK.
To connect the BRI line and activate the span:
1 Plug the BRI line into the BRI interface box.
2 Using a category 5 Ethernet cable, connect the BRI interface box to one
of the four ports on the front panel of the BRI-ST card.
