Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN)
A public or private network that provides end-to-end digital communications for all services to
which users have access by a limited set of standard multipurpose user-network interfaces
defined by the CCITT. Through internationally accepted standard interfaces, ISDN provides digital
circuit-switched or packet-switched communications within the network and links to other ISDNs to
provide national and international digital communications. See also

Integrated Services Digital Network Primary Rate Interface (ISDN-PRI)
The interface between multiple communications systems that in North America includes 24
64-kbps channels, corresponding to the North American digital signal level-1 (DS1) standard rate
of 1.544 Mbps. The most common arrangement of channels in ISDN-PRI is 23 64-kbps B-channels
for transmitting voice and data and 1 64-kbps D-channel for transmitting associated B-channel call
control and out-of-band signaling information. With nonfacility-associated signaling (NFAS),
ISDN-PRI can include 24 B-channels and no D-channel. See also
