Receive Alarm
Receive Alarm — yellow LED on indicates a problem with the digital transmission being received. This halfduplex link is unusable. • Receive Error — yellow LED indicates a minor error as a result of degraded digital transmission. Possible causes are an ohmic connection, water ingress, or too long a loop. • Transmit Alarm — red LED on indicates an inability to transmit. Alarm indication signal (AIS) is being transmitted to the terminating switch. This half-duplex link in unusable. • Transmit Error — yellow LED on indicates a remote alarm indication (RAI) carrier failure alarm (CFA) is being sent to the terminating switch. If the Transmit Alarm is not on, this indicates a far-end or cable problem. • In service — a flashing green LED indicates that the T1 or PRI trunks are out of service because of a running loopback test, or because the DTI is being initialized. • Loopback test — red LED on while a continuity loopback test is running. • All LEDs flashing continuously — the DTI is being initialized. 3. Run a Maintenance session and any loopback tests as appropriate. 4. Check the pinout of the cable that connects the DTI to the termination point from the T1 or PRI service provider or the external channel service unit, and check that the cable is properly connected. 5. Check with your T1 or PRI service provider to see if through-fed repeaters are used on the T1 or PRI span. The DTI does not provide the DC conne

Ringing signals
Differential Ring Signals When multiple phones in a small area ring, it can be difficult to tell which are ringing. The iPECS Phone has 14 Ring Tones available for differentiating ring from one phone to another. Four of the tones are stored in the phone’s permanent memory; the remaining ten tones are in the system’s memory. Four of these ten can be downloaded into the phone’s memory for use as the 5th to 8th Ring Tone. OPERATION To download a Ring Tone from System memory: Lift Handset Press TRANS/PGM, Dial 1 for Ring Tones, Dial 5 for Ring Tone download, Dial the memory location to receive the tone (5-8), Dial tone number 0-9, tone is heard, Press HOLD/SAVE to download. To select a Ring Tone from phone memory: Press TRANS/PGM, Dial 1 for Ring Tones, Dial 1 or 2 for Internal or External ring, Dial tone number 1-8, Press HOLD/SAVE to make the selection. 2.4 Answering Calls at Night In the Night mode, Loud Bell Control may be used to send ring signals to external bells. You may then answer these calls with Universal Night Answer (UNA). OPERATION To answer a call during Night mode ringing over an external bell: Lift the handset, Dial the UNA code 567(iPECS-Lik)/587(iPECS-MG).

B Channel
B channels B channels are the bearer channel. They are used to carry voice or data information and have speeds of 64 kbps. Since each ISDN line (BRI or PRI) has more than one B-channel, more than one transmission can occur at the same time, using a single ISDN line. D channels The standard signaling protocol is transmitted over a dedicated data channel called the D-channel. The D-channel carries call setup and feature activation information to the destination. This channel has speeds of 16 kbps (BRI) and 64 kbps (PRI). Data information consists of control and signal information and packet-switched data such as credit card verification.

ISDN layers
ISDN layers ISDN layers refer to the standards established to guide the manufacturers of ISDN equipment. The layers include both physical connections, such as wiring, and logical connections, which are programmed in computer software. When equipment is designed to the ISDN standard for one of the layers, it works with equipment for the layers above and below it. There are three layers at work in ISDN for Norstar. To support ISDN service, all three layers must be working properly.

Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN)
This chapter provides you with some background information about ISDN, including information about: • analog vs. ISDN • type of ISDN service •ISDN l ayer s • ISDN bearer capability • services and features for ISDN PRI and BRI • ISDN hardware • ISDN standards compatibility Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) technology provides a fast, accurate, and reliable means of sending and receiving voice, data, images, text, and other information through the telecom network. ISDN uses existing analog telephone wires. The signal on the wire gets divided into separate digital channels, which dramatically increases the bandwidth. ISDN uses a single transport to carry multiple information types. What once required separate networks for voice, data, images, or video conferencing is now combined on to one common high-speed transport.

Network elements
Network Elements 1.1 User Agent A SIP User Agent (UA) is a logical network end-point used to create or receive SIP messages and thereby manage a SIP session. A SIP UA can perform the role of a User Agent Client (UAC), which sends SIP requests, and the User Agent Server (UAS), which receives the requests and returns a SIP response. These roles of UAC and UAS only last for the duration of a SIP transaction. 1.2 Proxy server An intermediary entity that acts as both a server (UAS) and a client (UAC) for the purpose of making requests on behalf of other clients. A proxy server primarily plays the role of routing, which means its job is to ensure that a request is sent to another entity "closer" to the targeted user. 1.3 Registrar A server that accepts REGISTER requests and places the information it receives in those requests into the location service for the domain it handles which registers one or more IP addresses to a certain SIP URI. SIP registrars are logical elements, and are commonly co-located with SIP proxies. But it is also possible and often good for network scalability to place this location service with a redirect server. 1.4 Redirect server A user agent server that generates 3xx (Redirection) responses to requests it receives, directing the client to contact an alternate set of URIs. The redirect server allows proxy servers to direct SIP session invitations to external domains. 1.5 Session border controller Session border controllers serve as middle boxes between UA and SIP server for various types of functions, including network topology hiding, and assistance in NAT traversal. 1.6 Gateway Gateways can be used to interface a SIP network to other networks, such as the public switched telephone network, which use different protocols or technologies. 1.7 Application Layer Gateway ALG is a SIP aware monitoring device commonly contained in Routers and or Firewalls. SIP ALGs can have the capabilities of changing SIP Messages and should be disabled if any issues are experienced with SIP Calls.

This entry system is designed to utilize a building’s existing telephone wiring
This entry system is designed to utilize a building’s existing telephone wiring and to address a variety of apartment entry applications. Viking’s C-3000 Entry System provides secure multi-tenant building access, without the need for any C.O. lines; the only requirement is that each tenant have a touchtone telephone set wired to their apartment. The C-3000 performs equally as well in installations where C.O. lines are present. An individual C-3000 module has a 12-tenant capacity; for larger applications, a maximum of eight (8) C-3000 modules can be interconnected, allowing a total system capacity of up to 96 tenants. A C-3000 system consists of at least one Master C-3000 module, and as many as seven Slave modules. From either of two entry doors, visitors may ring a tenant's telephone with a distinctive cadence, alerting the tenant of their arrival. The C-3000 provides call waiting tones if the tenant’s line is in use. The tenant may then converse freely with the visitor via their existing telephones. Once identified, the tenant can let the visitor in by entering a single touch-tone on the keypad of the tenant's telephone set. The C-3000 keyless entry feature supports unique entry codes for each tenant. As a measure of security, the codes can be easily changed as tenants move in and out of the building. A postal lock feature is also supplied as an added convenience. A
