One of the five outputs, pin 3, is used to report successful connections. Use the Codec:
Status Out menu item to set this pin to go active low when the receive decoder is locked,
or when either or both lines are connected.
One of the four inputs, pin 7, can be used to initiate “Panic Dial” and call a particular
number when it’s pulled low. Use the
ISDN: Panic dial menu item to specify an autodial
setup, which can also include a master setup that configures the codec or other menus.
If no Panic Dial setup is specified, the input can be used for ancillary data.

ISDN TIP!
Panic Dial calls stay connected only while pin 7 is low. When pin 7 is lifted from
ground, the call is dropped.
