ISDN terminals and services
Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) technology provides a
fast, accurate and reliable means of sending and receiving data,
image text and voice information through the telephone system.
By using Basic Rate Interface (BRI), your ISDN service allows for
faster transmission speeds and the addition of a variety of powerful
business applications, including remote LAN access,
videoconferencing, file transfer and Internet access.
Your Modular ICS allows connection of 8 Basic Rate Access loops
(four 2B+D channels) that can be used for fully digital connections
to ISDN networks and devices. Loops are connections between the
ICS and devices or between the ICS and the network.
Each loop provides two separate B-channels that can be used to
make two simultaneous voice or data calls, or one data call and one
voice call.
Your installer configures your ISDN services and terminal
equipment.
