Examples in this chapter are from a PortMaster 2ER, which uses the indicator S10 for the first ISDN BRI port when an ISDN expansion module is present. PortMaster products also use other designations for ISDN BRI ports, depending on the model and configuration. Refer to Table 1-1, "Configurable Ports Available for Each PortMaster Model," on page 1-1, for the range of ISDN BRI ports available on PortMaster models.

ISDN BRI Commands

set isdn-msn

This command enables the multiple subscriber network (MSN) feature for countries that support BRI via the ISDN S/T bus interface.

set isdn-msn on|off

on	Enables the MSN feature.
off	Disables the MSN feature. This is the default.

Usage

When the MSN feature is enabled, the PortMaster checks the called party IE for a match with its directory number. If the directory number matches the called party IE, the PortMaster checks the bearer capability IE for a call type match. If the call type-for example, unrestricted data-matches, the PortMaster accepts the call. If either or both the called party and bearer capability IEs do not match, the PortMaster does not reject the call, but allows other S/T connected devices to check and accept the call. However, when the MSN feature is disabled, the PortMaster rejects the call if a port is not available and the bearer capability IE does not match that of the PortMaster. In this case other S/T connected devices are not given an opportunity to check or accept the call.

Note ¯ The current MSN feature setting is displayed in the output to the show global command.

See Also

set isdn-numberauto

This command enables the PortMaster to automatically determine the ISDN number plan and number type for a received call.

set isdn-numberauto on|off

on	Enables automatic ISDN number plan and type determination.
off	Disables automatic ISDN number plan and type determination. This is the default.

Usage

Any ISDN number type or number plan automatically determined by the PortMaster when this feature is on overrides entries specified with the set isdn-numbertype and set isdn-numberplan commands.

Example

numberauto now on

7	National.
8	Private.

Usage

To display all the number plan attribute values available and the current setting, enter set isdn-numberplan without any arguments.

Note ¯ Although the change in number plan takes place immediately after you enter the command, you must use the save all command to save changes to nonvolatile RAM.

set isdn-switch ni-1|dms-100|5ess|5ess-ptp

set isdn-switch net3|net5|vn2|vn4|1tr6|ntt|kdd

ni-1	National ISDN-1 (NI-1) compliant. This is the default.
dms-100	Northern Telecom DMS-100 Custom.
5ess	AT&T 5ESS Custom Multi-Point.
5ess-ptp	AT&T 5ESS Custom Point-to-Point.
net3	European ISDN standard (includes Swiss extensions).
net5	Australia.
vn2	France.

Command> save all
Command> reboot

For an AT&T 5ESS switch with NI-1 software:

Command> set isdn-switch ni-1
ISDN switch type set to NI-1
Command> save all
Command> reboot

See Also

set S10 destination

This command sets the IP address and the netmask of the remote router for a network hardwired BRI port connection.

set S10 destination Ipaddress [Ipmask]

Ipaddress	IP address or 39-character hostname of the remote router in dotted decimal notation.
Ipmask	IP mask in dotted decimal notation.

Usage

Note ¯ This command is used only for network hardwired BRI ports.

Example

See Also

set W1 destination - page 6-7

set S10|all dn

This command sets the directory number (DN) for a port so that an incoming call that matches the number uses this port.

set S10|all directory|dn Number

S10	The ISDN port.
Number	The access telephone number provided by your ISDN telephone service provider-from 0 to 15 characters.

Usage

You can simultaneously set all ISDN ports to the same directory number by using the set all dn command.

BACP and BAP Support. ComOS 3.8 and later supports the Bandwidth Allocation Control Protocol (BACP), according to RFC 2125. Because BACP and the Bandwidth Allocation Protocol (BAP) are both negotiated protocols, no commands are necessary to turn them on. The only requirement for the use of BAP and BACP is setting directory numbers on the serial ports so the PortMaster can offer a second number to the client dialing in.

BACP supports local exchange telephone numbers. If a long-distance BACP user is configured to dial a local exchange telephone number, the PortMaster checks the Called-Station-Id when the second channel is requested. To implement this configuration, do not set the directory numbers.

Example

Command> set s11 dn 5551213
Directory No for port S11 changed from to 5551213

See Also

set S10|all network hardwired

This command sets a single BRI line or both BRI lines for a permanent network connection that requires no dialing or authentication.

set S0|all network hardwired

Usage

You can set the port type to network hardwired for one BRI or all ports simultaneously by using the set all network hardwired command.

You must also set the address of the other end of the network hardwired connection with the set S10 destination command.

Use this command for ports used in a dedicated or hardwired network connection between two sites. The port immediately begins running the specified protocol.

Note ¯ You must use the save all and reboot commands for the changes to take effect.

Example

See Also

show isdn d0 - page 8-15

set S10 speed

This command sets the baud rate for a single BRI line.

set S10 speed [1|2|3] 300|600|1200|2400|4800|9600|19200|
38400|57600|76800|115200|128000

S10	ISDN port.
1|2|3	Indicates which of the three baud rates is being set: 1, 2, or 3. Default is 1.
300|600, and so on	Indicates the data terminal equipment (DTE) rate. Default is 9600bps.

Usage

Examples

set S10|all spid

This command sets the service profile identifier (SPID) numbers for the bearer (B) channels of the ISDN connection.

set S10|all spid Number

S10	The ISDN port.
Number	A number with 0 to 20 digits, provided by the ISDN service provider. Usually at least 9 digits long.

Usage

You can simultaneously set all the B channels on all ISDN ports to the same SPID number by using the set all spid command. The set all spid command is not typically used in a BRI configuration but it can be useful when diagnosing a BRI problem.

Note ¯ SPID numbers can vary by service provider.

Example

set S10 dn - page 8-11

show isdn

Shows the status of the ISDN ports.

show isdn [dNumber|S0]

Number	D channel number.
S0	Serial port number associated with the BRI port.

Usage
