About NSF codes
The ISDN protocol allows telephone service providers to add custom protocol
extensions to the ISDN protocol, to provide various localized services not
defined in the general ISDN specs. These extensions, called NSF codes, are
contained in the Network Specific Facility (NSF) Information Element (IE).

If your system outcalls directly to the PSTN (not through a PBX system), you
must configure the MeetingPlace system with the proper NSF codes that
enable certain Telco services and features. Failure to configure the NSF codes
(or failure to configure them properly) will result in failed outcalls and higher
phone service costs.

If you do not know if your system uses NSF codes, ask your
telephone service provider.

Use the following general steps to configure NSF codes. For detailed
information, see the Cisco MeetingPlace Audio Server 5.2 Customer

Engineer Guide.
1.
Gather the NSF code information:
•
Determine information about the NSF codes (see
•
Then complete
2.
Create specific port groups.
Create specific port groups that will use certain NSF codes. In general, if a
customer site needs NSF code configuration, only one port group needs to
be NSF code “enabled”.

be NSF code “enabled”.
3.
Create protparm tables.
Point the NSF code enabled port groups to specific protparm tables. The
generic tables out of the factory do not have NSF codes enabled and must
be copied to specific tables and modified for NSF code use.
