The information the phone company needs to give you is:
N The switch type that the ISDN circuits are connecting to at the CO
(Central Office)
N and the ISDN phone numbers for each line, and whether the B channels
are 56 or 64 kbps.
D.2.1 Switch Types
Certain switch types (there are only two manufacturers typically encountered in
North America: Northern Telecom and AT&T) require additional parameters to be
defined when setting up the ISDN unit which are called SPID or Service Profile
Identifier. A SPID is part of the prefix or suffix used by the ISDN unit. In addition,
there are situations where only one phone number is given for both B channels. In
this situation, it is still possible to make two separate calls.
