ISDN BRI Line Configuration Requirements
Before using a Cisco 1600 series router with an ISDN BRI interface or a Cisco 1600 series
router with an ISDN BRI WAN interface card installed, you must order a correctly
configured ISDN BRI line from your local telecommunications service provider.
This process varies significantly from provider to provider on a national and international
basis. However, following are some general guidelines:
•
Ask for two channels to be called by one number.
•
Ask for delivery of calling line identification. This is also known as Caller ID or
Automatic Number Identification (ANI).
