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

Password setup

Programming Password Setup to set the system passwords. For password entry, the system allows eight users to be defined. Each user can have a: • Unique alphanumeric name (up to 10 alphanumeric characters) • Password entry of up to eight digits (using0~9,#and*) • Password level The IN level password is used by the System Installer for system programming. The SA or SB level password cannot access the IN level programs. The reverse type (white on black) just beneath the Description heading is the program access level. You can only use the program if your access level meets or exceeds the level the program requires. (SA level password can access to SA or SB programs, and SB level password can access to SB programs only.)

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
