Ordering ISDN
GENERAL
There are two ways to specify your ISDN line configuration to your service
provider. The first way is to use an ISDN ordering code, if your service pro-
vider supports that method. If your service provider does not recognize the
ISDN ordering codes then you will be required to specify the ISDN line con-
figuration. To simplify the ordering of your ISDN line, TxPORT has provided
forms for both methods.
The following sections describe the ways you can order your ISDN line.
TxPORT suggests that you use the ordering codes if your service provider rec-
ognizes them.
Ordering Using ISDN Ordering Codes
The ISDN industry has recognized the difficulty for the user in ordering ISDN
lines. Hence, an organization called ISDN Solutions was formed which is made
up of service providers and ISDN equipment vendors such as TxPORT. A
method of ordering ISDN lines has been approved utilizing ISDN ordering
codes. These ordering codes define the configuration of the ISDN line. ISDN
products have been tested with the service providers to ensure that they will
operate with the appropriate ordering codes.
The 500 TA has been tested to operate with the following ordering codes.
Choose an ordering code which is available from your ISDN service provider
and best suits your needs. Using an ordering code that provides capabilities
you will not use may cost you more.
• Capability B: This ordering code supports data operation only. This is the
most economical ISDN line configuration if you will be using only the data
feature. Voice calls cannot be placed or received with this configuration.
• Capability C: This ordering code supports both voice and data operation,
but not simultaneously. This is the most economical configuration if you
require both voice and data operation, but not at the same time.
• Motorola Access 2: This ordering code supports simultaneous voice and
data operation.
