ISDN service
The Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) provides a message-oriented 
signaling method that allows information to be sent along with a call and gives 
you access to a variety of public and private network services and facilities. The 
ISDN standard consists of layers 1, 2, and 3 of the Open System Interconnect 
(OSI) model. DEFINITY ECS can be connected to an Integrated Services Digital 
Network using standard frame formats: the Basic Rate Interface (BRI) and the 
Primary Rate Interface (PRI).
An Integrated Services Digital Network provides end-to-end digital connections 
and uses a high-speed interface that provides service-independent access to 
switched services. Through internationally accepted standard interfaces, an 
Integrated Services Digital Network provides circuit or packet-switched 
connections within a network and can link to other ISDN-supported interfaces to 
provide national and international digital connections.
NOTE:
DEFINITY ECS Administrator’s Guide does not contain procedures for 
working with ISDN trunk groups. Due to the complexity of ISDN 
technology and the potential consequences of errors, ask your Lucent 
representative to assist you in planning, installing, and administering ISDN 
trunks.
Brief description
ISDN supports the following:
Call-by-Call Service Selection (CBC)
Distributed Communications System (DCS). (Only ISDN-PRI supports 
DCS+ and DCS with Rerouting)
