Installing ISDN BRI hardware

Procedure 10

Connecting the ISDN BRI terminals to the DSL

Step

Action

Plug one end of the modular cable into the ISDN BRI interface
connector on the terminal and the other end of the modular cable
into the wall outlet.

For an SILC S/T interface terminal with an optional auxiliary power
source, plug the power source into the wall outlet, then plug the
cable into the power source’s RJ-45 jack. This power source must
supply power only to the local ISDN BRI terminal, not back into the
DSL through the RJ-45 wall outlet. The power adapter is supplied
with the terminal.

Program the terminal parameters, such as the Supervisor Position
ID (SPID) and Static Terminal Endpoint Identifier (TEI), as required
by the type of terminal. For detailed information pertaining to this
procedure, refer to the section "Initialize ISDN BRI terminals", found
in ISDN Basic Rate Interface Feature Fundamentals (NN43001-580).

Repeat steps 1 and 3 for each terminal to be connected.

Connecting the terminating resistors

DSLs require that a terminating resistor be connected at the end of each
loop. See ISDN Basic Rate Interface Feature Fundamentals (NN43001-580)
for engineering rules and locations of terminating resistors. The end of the
S/T interface loop has an RJ-45 jack to plug in the telephone cable. Plug
the terminating resistor into the RJ-45 jack, and then plug the telephone
cable into the terminating resistor.

Note: For every port there is one loop with only one terminating resistor
per loop. Each loop can support a maximum of eight telephones.
