ISDN OVERVIEW
The Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) is a public or private switched digital network. ISDN is an international standard for digital communications, allowing a full range of enhanced services supporting voice, data, and image applications through standard interfaces over a single telephone wire.
ISDN provides a means of integrating these services and modernizing communication networks for information movement and management efficiency.
THE ADTRAN ISU EXPRESS
The ISU™ Express (ADTRAN ISDN Service Unit) is a standalone device that connects data terminal equipment (DTE) and dual tone multifrequency (DTMF) telephone equipment to the
ISDN network or to a leased line. The ISU Express includes built-in network termination and terminal adapter functionality.
The ISU Express meets the Microsoft Windows
®
95 Plug-and-
Play specifications. The file MDMADTN.INF is required. To obtain this file, contact ADTRAN technical support as shown on the inside back cover of this manual.
See Figure 1-1 for an illustration of the ISU Express.

The ISU Express provides four basic functions:
1.
High speed synchronous ISDN modem using one or both bearer (B) channels (up to 128 kbps utilizing BONDING protocol). Part numbers 1202081L1, L3, L4, L5, L8, L9, L10, and L11.
2.
High speed asynchronous ISDN modem using one or both
B-channels (up to 115.2 kbps, no flow control, using BOND-
ING protocol). Part numbers 1202081L1, L3, L4, L5, L8, L9,
L10, and L11.
3.
Analog V.32 bis/V.42 bis modem using one B-channel to communicate to analog data service (for example, Bulletin
Board Systems). ISU Express with V.32 bis/V.42 bis modem option, part number 1202081L4.
4.
Plain old telephone service (POTS) for DTMF analog devices
(telephones, modems, fax machines, etc.). The ISU Express can ring up to two POTS devices when the cable distance between the units is no greater than 100 feet. ISU Express
POTS option, part number 1202081L3, L4, L5, L10, and L11.
From the network, ISDN is delivered by a single 2-wire 2B1Q Uinterface which is connected directly to the ISU Express. ISDN network termination is designed into the ISU Express, eliminating the need and expense of a separate NT1. For network testing, the ISU Express responds to NT1 test commands from the telephone company central office (CO).

ISU Express User Manual 61202.081L1-1
Chapter 1. Understanding ISDN and the ISU Express
The ISU Express transmits data over an EIA-232 interface with a maximum cable length of six feet. The ISU Express performs at synchronous data transfer rates of 2400 bps to 128 kbps and asynchronous rates of 300 bps to 115.2 kbps. At rates over 64 kbps, the BONDING (Bandwidth on Demand Interoperability
Group) delay equalization protocol synchronizes data over the two 64 kbps B-channels. The ISU Express supports the transfer of data and images over ISDN. The ISU Express may be viewed as an ISDN dial modem that allows cost-effective, high-speed data transmission at rates up to 128 kbps.
The ISU Express has one RJ-45 jack, labeled ISDN BRI U or
ISDN BRI S/T
on the rear panel for network connection (see
Figure 1-2). ISDN basic rate service divides a standard telephone line into three digital channels capable of simultaneous voice and data transmission. The three channels are comprised of two bearer (B) channels at 64 kbps and one data (D) channel at 16 kbps, known as 2B+D.
The ISU Express also supports a leased digital connection that allows data to be transferred at up to 128 kbps over a 2-wire facility using the same RJ-45 jack. This type of service is a permanent connection between end points and is sometimes referred to as a leased connection, a dedicated connection, a nailed-up connection, a private circuit, or a limited distance modem connection. Leased connection or leased application is used in this manual to represent these types of services.
If the ISU Express is equipped with optional POTS interfaces, the rear panel RJ-11 jacks labeled PHONE are used for connection to
DTMF analog devices such as an analog telephone or a fax machine.

Dialing from the ISU Express is accomplished in a variety of ways:
• Using a VT 100 terminal connected to the rear panel EIA-232 port.
• Over the DTE interface using the AT command set.
• V.25 bis in-band (used in applications such as LAN/WAN bridging).
• With DTR enabled. Routers raise DTR when bandwidth on their dedicated line is exceeded. In high-traffic times, this allows the ISU Express to dial out over the ISDN for an extra
128 kbps of bandwidth-on-demand.
Seven LED indicators located on the front panel of the ISU
Express monitor data flow and display the status of key DTE interface leads as described in Table 1-A.

ISU EXPRESS INTEROPERABILITY
Telephone networks are evolving from analog technologies to digital technologies such as ISDN. This transition is timeconsuming and costly for telephone companies. Upgrading all locations and facilities is a lengthy process.
The ISU Express bridges this transition by supporting communications with existing and future network services and equipment. The ISU Express supports communications with Switched
56 service and Switched 56 DSUs (2-wire and 4-wire) as well as various ISDN terminal adapters, ISDN terminal equipment, PPPcompatible bridges/routers, and BONDING mode 1-compatible inverse multiplexers.
RECOMMENDED OPERATING PROTOCOLS
The ISU Express supports a wide range of operating modes.
Many combinations of circuit type, protocol, and data rate may be selected. However, only the combinations shown in Table 1-B are recommended. As noted in Table 1-B, all asynchronous rates support flow control. However, the 115200 rate (only with SAP/
V.120 and a 64 kbps circuit type) requires the use of flow control.
Table 1-B shows that a given data rate may be achieved by more than one protocol/rate adaption selection. The table is organized so that selections with the least transport delay are closer to the top of the table for any given circuit type. Therefore, choose a protocol and rate closer to the top of the protocol rate list for a given circuit type.

ISDN Ordering Codes (IOCs)
ISDN is a very complex service with many network options.
Obtaining service from your local telephone company and long distance providers is sometimes complicated.
ISDN Ordering Codes (IOCs) have been developed to simplify the process of ordering ISDN service. The ISDN Solutions
Group, a consortium of ISDN equipment vendors, service providers, and Bellcore, established these codes to represent predetermined line configurations for ISDN Basic Rate service for specific applications.
ADTRAN and Bellcore have registered and tested eight generic
IOCs. These IOCs are supported by all major local exchange carriers as well as several independent carriers. After reviewing the following list, order your ISDN line from the local service provider. Request the appropriate IOC for your application. If your local service provider does not support IOCs, see the appendix, Ordering ISDN Without IOCs.
Capability S
(previously Generic Data M) ordering code is recommended for ISU Express applications. It is the most feature-rich and supports most voice and data applications.
However, in some areas, ISDN tariffs may warrant the use of ordering codes with less features. For example, in a particular region, there may be additional monthly expense associated with having voice service on each B-channel. If you have a data -only application, then Capability R (previously Generic Data I) may be more cost-effective.

Installation
After unpacking the unit, immediately inspect it for possible shipping damage. If damage is discovered, file a claim immediately with the shipping carrier, then contact ADTRAN Repair and Return department (see end of manual).
NETWORK CONNECTION
The ISU Express supports either dial or leased operation. A single RJ-45 modular jack labeled ISDN BRI U on the rear panel of the ISU Express provides connection to either network service.
For the ISU Express S/T (with the jack labeled ISDN BRI S/T), an NT1 must be connected between the Express and the network.
Dial operation uses the ISDN Basic Rate interface and allows the
ISU Express to dial out over the ISDN network.
The leased mode of operation supports dedicated 2B1Q data service at rates up to 128 kbps by using a nailed up circuit, or a permanent connection between end points. This connection could be a limited distance modem or a point-to-point connection.
See the appendix Connector Pinouts for network connection pin assignments.

Chapter 3. Installation
DTE DATA CONNECTION
Data terminal equipment (DTE) is connected to the ISU Express by using the EIA-232 interface connector. The maximum recommended cable length is six feet. The pin assignments for the
DTE interfaces are shown in the appendix Connector Pinouts.
TELEPHONE CONNECTION
Basic Telephone Service
The ISU Express supports an analog DTMF telephone type
(AT&T 2500) with the optional POTS interface, part number
1202081L3, L4, L5, L10, or L11. The telephone or other analog device like a fax machine or modem plugs into an RJ-11 jack labeled PHONE located on the rear of the unit. Using a multipoint line allows the POTS and data port to have unique phone numbers. On the 1202081L3 and L4, the SPID programmed into SPID2 is associated with the analog telephone.
On the 1202081L5, SPID1 is phone number 1 and SPID2 is phone number 2.
Supplementary Services
Supplementary services such as call holding, three- or six-way conferencing, call transfer, and call waiting are fully supported by the ISU Express on a touch-tone telephone. Table 3-A explains how the flash-hook is used for handling multi-call situations.

Configuration
GETTING STARTED
Prior to operating the ISU Express, configure the unit properly in one of the following manners: (1) Use the built-in ISU Express menu system. This requires an asynchronous VT 100 terminal or personal computer with asynchronous VT 100 emulation capabilities; or (2) Use AT configuration commands similar to those used by high-speed modems. Both of these configuration methods require an asynchronous DTE (terminal, PC, etc.) to be connected to the EIA-232 port located on the rear panel of the unit.
Connect the ISU Express to an ISDN U-line supplied by the local exchange carrier (LEC), then to the ISDN BRI U connector located on the rear panel of the unit.
To default to factory configuration while powering up the ISU
Express, hold down the SELECT and TEST keys until the PWR
LED flashes.
The ISU Express has a DTE rate adjustment feature which automatically adjusts the asynchronous bit rate on the EIA-232 connector to match that of the connected terminal. For any terminal rate from 300 bps through 115.2 kbps, type AT and
RETURN
. The ISU Express will adjust to that rate.
The ISU Express initiates a self test upon power up. A continuously flashing LOC LED signifies a problem has been detected.
61202.081L1-1 ISU Express User Manual
21
Chapter 4. Configuration
When connected to an ISDN U-line, the LOOP LED illuminates and remains on. This signifies that the ISDN U-link is up and the ISU Express is ready for operation. If the LOOP LED does not illuminate and remain on, check your network connections.
If the LED remains off, layer one of the link was not successfully established. If the LOOP LED flashes continuously, layer one of the link is established, but layers two and three are not.
MENU NAVIGATION
When connected to an asynchronous VT 100 terminal or VT 100 terminal emulator, use the built-in ISU Express menu system for configuration. To enter into the menus, type AT!V Return. To go to a particular menu, simply press the hot key for that menu.
The main branches of the menu tree and their hot keys are:
STATUS (Ctl + V)
TEST (Ctl + T)
CONFIG (Ctl + C)
DIAL (Ctl + D)
Ensure the communications package is configured to pass these control sequences through to the ISU Express.
Figure 4-1 shows each menu as it appears on the VT 100 terminal. To exit the menus, press Ctl + X. The Ctl + X command also places the unit back on-line if a call is connected.
It is important to note that some features in the ISU Express do not immediately take effect upon selection. This prevents unintentional reconfiguration of the ISU Express during an active call. Items such as Bit Rate, Protocol, and Call Type take effect only at the beginning of a new call.
For reading ease, selectable menu items and messages displayed on the
ISU Express menus are in bold type as they appear on the terminal screen.

This section explains how to configure the ISU Express using the built-in menu system with ISDN basic rate switched service.
After starting the terminal emulation package, type AT!V and press Enter. Enter the Configuration menu by typing Ctl + C.
Configuring the ADTRAN ISU Express for Dial Operation
To place ISDN modem calls, analog modem calls, or plain old telephone service (POTS) calls over ISDN, the unit must be configured for Dial Line.
Switch Type
Find out what kind of ISDN switch your local CO is using by asking your telephone administrator or your telephone company representative. The ISU Express can be configured for a Northern Telecom DMS-100, AT&T 5ESS ® CO switch, a switch conforming to the National ISDN-1 standard (usually an AT&T
5ESS, NTI DMS-100™, or Siemens EWSD), or an NEC Switch.
The Express S/T will also support Euro ISDN, VN4, TDX, KDD, and NTT switch types.
Call Type
The Call type can be configured four different ways, depending on the type of service used.
Speech
Speech
directs the call control software to request a Mu-law speech circuit as the bearer capability for outgoing calls. The
Speech
option is used with an ISDN line configured for voice service. In some areas, voice service costs less than data service.
A Speech call type does not guarantee an end-to-end digital connection with some local and long distance carriers.
Audio
Audio directs the call control software to request a 3.1 kHz audio circuit as the bearer capability for outgoing calls. The Audio
61202.081L1-1 ISU Express User Manual
25
Chapter 4. Configuration option is used with an ISDN line configured for voice service. In some areas, audio service is less expensive than data service.
Selecting an Audio call type guarantees a digital end-to-end
ISDN connection. Use the Audio call type with the optional V.32
bis analog modem.
Data 56kbps
Data 56kbps
directs the call control software to request a 64 kbps data circuit that is rate-adapted to 56 kbps. Data 56kbps is intended for use in circumstances where interoperability with
Switched 56 service is desired.
Data 64kbps
The default call type for ISDN service is Data 64kbps. This directs the call control software to request an unrestricted 64 kbps circuit.
Service Profile ID (SPID)
The SPID is a sequence of digits used to identify ISDN terminal equipment to the ISDN switch. The SPID is assigned by the local phone company when the ISDN line is installed and it usually looks similar to the phone number. Obtain SPIDs from your telephone administrator or local telephone representative.
The number of SPIDs required (0, 1, or 2) depends on how your
ISDN line is configured. For instance, a point-to-point line has no SPID. Multipoint lines may have one or two SPIDs. The ISU
Express uses the presence of SPID 1 to determine if the line is multipoint. If the line has only one SPID, then it must be entered in SPID 1.
Example:
SPID 1 = 0 1 9 2 2 4 3 2 3 0
SPID 2 = 0 1 9 2 2 4 3 2 4 0
PREFIX
SUFFIX
National ISDN-1 switches require the addition of a two-digit terminal identifier (TID) at the end of the SPID.

Local Directory Number (LDN)
This option allows the entry of 0, 1, or 2 LDNs. The LDN is used when placing or receiving calls. The LDN is the local phone number assigned to the line.
LDN 1 = 5 5 5 1 2 1 2
LDN 2 = 5 5 5 1 2 1 2
Disconnect the network interface from the unit before initially entering or altering the SPIDs and LDNs.
Dial Options
61202.081L1-1
The ISU Express supports two in-band dialing options described as follows. The option will not take effect until exiting the VT
100 interface (Ctrl+X).
AT commands
Configuring the ISU Express for AT commands enables in-band dialing over the DTE interface using asynchronous AT commands. AT commands can be used to set up the ISU Express as well as establish and end a call.
V.25 bis
Configuring the ISU Express for V.25 bis enables in-band dialing over the DTE interface using asynchronous or synchronous V.25
bis commands. V.25 bis can be used to establish and end a call.
In synchronous mode, the ISU Express is an ISDN version of a synchronous modem. For configuration or troubleshooting, the unit requires connection to an async VT 100 terminal and the dial option must be set to AT Commands. After the unit is completely configured, set the dial option to V.25 bis and exit the VT 100 terminal interface.
The unit is now ready to respond to V.25 bis dialing commands. If it is necessary to re-enter the VT 100 interface for re-configuration, troubleshooting or to view the status buffer, press the Test button on the front panel of the unit (this enables the AT command mode). Type
AT!V
to activate the terminal interface.

Chapter 4. Configuration
Disabled
This selection disables in-band dialing over the DTE interface.
Auto Answer
The ISU Express auto answer parameter can be configured in one of the following three ways.
Disabled
When Disabled is selected, the ISU Express will not answer the call. An AT answer command (ATA) must be issued to the ISU
Express before it accepts the incoming call. The ringing call can be dumped using the Hang up line command.
Enabled
When Enabled is selected, the ISU Express will accept an incoming data call on the primary phone number (SPID1,
LDN1). If that call is a BONDING call, then another incoming call is accepted on the secondary phone number (SPID2, LDN2).
If the unit is configured for a call that uses only one B-channel, such as 56 kbps or 64 kbps, the ISU Express will accept an incoming voice call on the secondary phone number (SPID2,
LDN2).
Dump all calls
When Dump all calls is selected, the ISU Express will not accept any incoming calls, keeping the line clear for outgoing calls.
Answer Tone
The Answer tone option should be set to the No Answer tone default. This option is used in the ISU Express with the V.32 bis/
V.42 bis modem option (part number 1202081L4).
The Answer tone option enables the transmission of a modem answer tone at the start of voice and audio calls. The purpose of this tone is to disable echo suppression and echo canceling on the circuit in order to get a clear digital circuit. This may be necessary on some long distance circuits. The specifics of the tone are 4 seconds, 2100 Hz at a -10 dB level, with phase reversals every 475 ms.

Call Screening
Call Screening
allows the ISU Express to answer all incoming calls (default) or only calls originating from phone numbers stored in the DIAL menu as stored numbers SN0 through SN9.
When Call Screening is set to answer any numbers stored in
SN0 through SN9, an incoming call is not answered if the Call ID received from the switch does not match a stored number.
Depending on the switch type, the Call ID may be presented in either a seven- or ten-digit format. The ISU Express displays the
Call ID for all dumped calls in the Status buffer. See the section
The Status Buffer in the chapter Configuration for more information.
Because different switches handle calls and Call ID differently, use the following procedure to determine if your switch uses a seven- or ten-digit Call ID format or phone number.

CONFIGURING THE ISU EXPRESS FOR LEASED DIGITAL SERVICE
This section explains how to configure the ISU Express when using a 2B1Q Leased Digital service or a service that provides a permanent connection between end points.
Follow this step-by-step procedure to configure the ISU Express for leased line clock mode, channel rate, and DDS loopbacks.
Selecting Leased Line configures the unit for leased line service or service that provides a permanent connection between end points such as limited distance modem (LDM) service.
Clock mode: Slave/Master
By configuring the ISU Express for Master timing, the ISU
Express can provide clocking for both ends of the phone line.
This Master option is used at one end of a limited distance modem application, where two ISU Express units are directly connected without the use of channel banks. The far-end unit should be configured for Slave and it derives its clocking from the ISU Express configured for Master timing. If two ISU
Express units are connected through channel banks, both units should be configured for Slave mode.
The maximum mixed gauge cable length between two ISU
Express units operating in leased line mode is 18,000 feet.
Channel rate
In Leased Line operation, the data rate for the ISU Express can be configured for 64 kbps or 128 kbps. When 64 kbps is selected, only one bearer channel (B1) is used. When 128 kbps is selected both bearer channels (B1 and B2) are used.

OPTIONS FOR BOTH LEASED AND SWITCHED ISDN SERVICE
This section describes the options that apply to both leased digital service and dial operation.
DTE Options
From the DTE Options parameter, select asynchronous or synchronous.
Ensure the DTE equipment is set for asynchronous operation before attempting to make an asynchronous call. Failure to do so causes the call attempt to fail.
Bit Rate
RTS Options
The Bit Rate can be set asynchronously for 300, 1200, 2400, 4800,
9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, and 230400 bps and synchronously for 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 48000, 56000, 64000,
12000, and 128000 bps.
Selecting 1 MS delay causes the clear to send (CTS) signal to change states 1 millisecond after the DTE ready to send (RTS) signal changes states. The 18 MS delay causes the CTS signal to change state 18 milliseconds after the DTE RTS signal changes state.
CTS Options
Selecting Forced On causes the CTS signal on the DTE connector to be continually asserted. Selecting Follows RTS causes the
CTS signal to follow the state of the RTS lead.
CD Options
32
ISU Express User Manual 61202.081L1-1
Chapter 4. Configuration
Selecting CD Forced on causes the carrier detect (CD) signal to always be asserted. Selecting Normal causes the CD signal to be asserted when a call has been successfully established. Selecting
Off with LOCD
causes the CD signal to be disasserted for a period of 5 seconds, then reasserted at the termination of a call.
Selecting Off with Link Down causes the CD signal to be disasserted when the U-interface is not present.
DTR Options
Selecting Ignore DTR causes the ISU Express to disregard the state of the data terminal ready (DTR) pin. Cmd when Off forces the unit into the AT command processor mode when DTR is not asserted. To return on-line, DTR must be asserted, followed by the AT0 command. Idle when Off forces the unit to end the current call when DTR is no longer asserted. Off>On
dial #0
allows one call attempt to be automatically established when the DTR signal goes from inactive to active. While DTR is active, dialing is also possible through the built-in menu system.
When DTR goes inactive, any outgoing or incoming call present is disconnected. Off>On dial #0 uses the phone number in stored number register 0 to establish the call. To store a number for automatic dialing see the section VT 100 Terminal Dialing
Options. Selecting Dial #0 if On allows calls to be automatically established when the DTR signal is in the active state. The unit attempts to establish a call using SN0 until the call is established or DTR goes inactive. Selecting Answer if On only allows the unit to answer an incoming call if the DTR signal is asserted.
DSR Options
Selecting DSR forced on causes the data set ready (DSR) signal on the DTE connector to always be asserted. Selecting OFF
Idle+Test
causes DSR to be disasserted if the network interface is in test or there is not an active call. OFF Link Down causes DSR to be disasserted if the network interface is disrupted

Data bits
, 0 or 1 Parity bit, and 1 to 2 Stop bits.
Data Bits
These options select the number of data bits in each asynchronous frame. A frame has 7 or 8 data bits.
Parity Bits
The None option selects no parity bits in each asynchronous frame. A frame has 0 or 1 parity bit. The Odd option selects an odd parity bit in each asynchronous frame. The Even option selects an even parity bit in each asynchronous frame.
Stop Bits
These options select the number of Stop bits sent in each asynchronous frame. A frame has 1 to 2 stop bits.
Transmit Clock for Synchronous Data
Selecting the Normal option causes the ISU Express to be the synchronous DTE interface transmit timing source. Transmit data is timed from the transmit clock provided by the ISU
Express on the DTE connector. Normal clock is the normal mode of operation for the ISU Express.
With the External option selected, the ISU Express slaves to an external transmit timing source. The external clock is provided to the ISU Express by the external transmit clock signal at the
DTE EIA-232 connector (ETC pin 24). This signal is echoed by
34
ISU Express User Manual 61202.081L1-1
Chapter 4. Configuration the ISU Express to the transmit clock signal on the DTE EIA-232 connector (TC pin 15).
This option is provided for situations where equipment connected to the ISU Express DTE connector cannot slave to the ISU
Express-provided clock. The ISU Express uses the U-interface as the frequency standard when it must provide a synchronous receive or transmit clock.
The externally provided clock must be of the same average frequency as the clock that the ISU Express would provide if internal clock were selected. If this is not the case, bit errors may occur.
SETTING PROTOCOL OPTIONS
The ISU Express communicates with many different types of telecommunication equipment including other ISU Express units, ISDN terminal adapters, Switched 56 DSUs, BONDING mode 1-compatible inverse multiplexers, PPP-compatible bridges/routers, and V.32 bis-compatible analog modems
(optional).
Communicating between such diverse types of equipment requires the use of various rate adaptation protocols to support various bit rates and DTE settings. The ISU Express supports the following rate adaptation protocols:
• BONDING mode 1
(Bandwidth on Demand Interoperability Group)
• TLINK (Dial DDS DSU/CSU)
• SAP (Simple ADTRAN Protocol)
• Clear Channel (no rate adaption protocol)
• CCITT V.120
• DSU 56.7 Async (for communication with ADTRAN DSUs)
• V.32 bis (for communicating with V.32 bis/V.42 bis analog modems). This protocol option requires optional analog modems to be installed.
• Point-to point protocol (PPP) asynchronous to synchronous
61202.081L1-1 ISU Express User Manual
35
Chapter 4. Configuration conversion
See the section Recommended Operating Protocols in the chapter
Understanding ISDN and the ISU Express for more information on recommended modes of operation.
The desired protocol may be selected with AT commands at the
DTE port or from the ISU Express built-in menu system. A description of protocols follows.
Clear Channel
Clear
channel provides the entire bearer channel to the DTE without regard to data format or protocol. This provides a rate adaptation at or near the ISDN circuit rate. The primary usage for Clear Channel in the dial line mode is for 56 kbps and 64 kbps synchronous.
It is useful when the DTE performs its own internal synchronous protocol/rate adaptation or the ISU Express is calling a 4-wire
Switched 56 DSU. In the leased line mode, Clear Channel can provide synchronous bit rates of 56 kbps, 64 kbps, 112 kbps, and
128 kbps.
BONDING mode 1
The BONDING mode 1 protocol allows the ISU Express to communicate at bit rates in excess of 64 kbps to a maximum of
128 kbps. BONDING provides high-speed communication between ISU Express units, ISDN TE/TAs, and inverse multiplexing equipment supporting the BONDING protocol. The protocol allows use of both synchronous and asynchronous bit rates. When the ISU Express uses the BONDING mode 1 protocol, it must make two separate ISDN phone calls to seize control of both ISDN bearer channels. The protocol corrects any delays existing between the two bearer channels and presents a single high-speed data channel to the DTE. For successful highspeed operation, both the near- and far-end DCE need to be configured to use the BONDING mode 1 protocol. The BOND-
ING mode 1
protocol negotiation phase has numerous timers to allow transmission delays due to satellite hops, international calls, etc. The timers may be adjusted if necessary by entering
36
ISU Express User Manual 61202.081L1-1
61202.081L1-1
Chapter 4. Configuration into the BONDING mode 1 submenu.
The timers are defined as follows:
TXINIT
This option specifies the length of time the originating endpoint attempts to detect the BONDING negotiation pattern from the answering endpoint before deciding the BONDING call has failed. In general, this timer value should be left at the factory default setting of 10 seconds. Select from values of 1, 2, 5, 10
(default), 20, 50, 100, and 200 seconds.
TXINIT = 10 sec (def)
TXFA
This option specifies the length of time both endpoints attempt to detect the BONDING frame pattern when a call is connected before deciding the BONDING call has failed. In general, this timer value should be left at the factory default setting of 10 seconds.
However, when interoperating with other manufacturers’

This option specifies the length of time the answering endpoint attempts to detect the BONDING negotiation pattern from the originating endpoint before aborting to clear channel mode. In general, this timer value should be left at the factory default setting of 10 seconds. However, it may be necessary to shorten this timer if the DTE equipment connected to the ISU also has timer constraints for completing non-BONDING parameter negotiation. Values of 1, 2, 5, 10 (default), 20, 50, 100, and 200 seconds can be selected.

V.120
The V.120 protocol is a CCITT- compliant rate adaption method which provides DTE service between the ISU Express and other
V.120 compliant devices at rates less than the 64 kbps ISDN
Bearer channel rate. V.120 supports synchronous and asynchronous DTE rates. See the section Recommended Operating Protocols in the chapter Understanding ISDN and the ISU Express and Table
1-B for available V.120 rates.
V.32 bis

The V.32 bis protocol allows the ISU to originate and receive
ISU Express User Manual 61202.081L1-1
Chapter 4. Configuration calls to analog modems on POTS lines. The V.32 bis/V.42 bis modem only supports asynchronous DTE rates. To place an outgoing call to an analog modem, the call type must be changed to Audio. See the section Setting the Call Type to change call types. The V.32 bis modem operational parameters definitions follow.
The ISU Express with optional V.32 bis/V.42 bis modem (part number
1202081L4) must be used for operation of this protocol.
Error Control (Error Ctrl)
This option sets the type of error control to be negotiated with the far-end modem during train up. Normal turns all error control off and makes allowances for flow control. Reliable uses
MNP error control. If the far-end does not support error control, then the call is terminated. When Auto-Rel is selected, the ISU
Express attempts to use error control. If the far-end does not use error control, then normal operation is used. Force MNP allows only MNP error corrected calls to connect. Force LAPM allows only LAPM (V.42) error corrected calls to connect.
Compression
No Compression
turns off the compression algorithms in the
ISU Express. Compress MNP5 enables MNP5 data compression.
Compress V42
enables V.42 bis data compression. MNP5 or V42 allows the ISU Express to negotiate MNP5 or V.42 bis compression.
Microcom™ Network Protocol Block Size (MNP Blk Size)
When error control is enabled, this option sets the amount of data sent in a single packet during MNP error-controlled stream operation. Options available are 64, 128, 192, and 256 bytes.

FALLBACK
42
The FALLBACK asynchronous rate-adaption protocol provides the capability to automatically establish calls with other ISDN terminal adapters, Switched 56 DSUs, PPP-compatible bridges/ routers, V.32 bis modems (optional), as well as other ISUs using a single configuration. This allows for integrating services without changing the configuration on the ISU Express.
To communicate with analog modems, the ISU Express with V.32
bis/V.42 bis (part number 1202081L2 and L4) modem option must be used.
The ISU Express must be optioned as follows for FALLBACK operation:
1.
Any asynchronous bit rate up to 115.2 kbps which is supported by the DTE.
2.
Flow control must be enabled and supported by the DTE.
FALLBACK supports the following protocols based on the call type: BONDING mode 1, V.120, PPP async-sync, T-Link, and
V.32 bis.
When answering calls, the ISU Express uses the incoming call type to determine which rate adaption protocols to support. See
Table 4-A.
Table 4-A
Rate Adaption Protocols
When originating calls to unknown units, the ISU begins protocol selection based on the local call type. Data 64k is used for
FALLBACK selected from Quick Setup menu. Upon connection
ISU Express User Manual 61202.081L1-1
Chapter 4. Configuration at 64k call type, BONDING, V.120, and PPP async-sync are attempted. If connection is not made at 64k, the ISU Express attempts another call at 56k call type. If connection is made at
56k, V.120, PPP async-sync, and T-Link are attempted. If connection is not made at 56k, then an AUDIO call type is attempted
(provided the ISU Express with the V.32 bis modem option is used). If the ISU Express connects the AUDIO call type, the V.32
bis protocol is attempted for V.32 bis/V.42 bis-compatible modems. Once a call connects, if the protocol cannot be negotiated, the ISU Express hangs up the call.
Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) Async-to-Sync
PPP provides a standard method for transporting multi-protocol datagrams over point-to-point links. The ADTRAN PPP asyncsync protocol allows the ISU Express and a PC or Macintosh ® running PPP software, to communicate with a PPP-compatible bridge or router. The PPP async-sync protocol complies with
Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) RFC 1662.
The asynchronous control character map (ACCM) option is scanned during the negotiation. When the ACCM option is seen in a configure ACK link control packet, it is adopted by the ISU
Express. In addition, when the ACCM option is not seen in the configure-request packet from the network, the ISU Express will spoof or add it to the packet.

AT Commands
When AT commands are selected for Dial Options, the DTE port becomes dual purpose. First, while a call is not established, the port accepts AT commands. During this time, the CD signal is inactive. Second, when a call is established, the port is used for data. This data mode is indicated by the CD signal active. See the appendix AT Commands for a list of the supported AT commands and their functions. In addition to the built-in menu system, the ISU Express can be configured and controlled with in-band AT commands from an asynchronous DTE port just as modems are.
To exit data mode and enter command mode, the asynchronous
DTE device must transmit a proper escape sequence to the ISU
Express. A specified time delay must occur between the last data character and the first escape sequence character. This is the guard time delay, and it can be changed by writing a value to the S12 register. The default value for the guard time is one second. For a valid escape sequence to occur, the DTE must transmit the escape code character three times in succession with delay between each character being less than the guard time.
The default escape sequence is +++.
Another way to exit data mode and enter command mode, is to press the TEST key on the front panel. This only works if both the LOC and REM LEDs are off.
Once command mode is entered, AT commands can be transmitted to the ISU Express to configure most of the options, dial remote DSUs, or initiate tests to check both the ISU Express and the network connections. All command lines must begin with the AT character set in either capital or lower case letters. To return to an active call and on-line, type AT0.
The command line may contain a single command or a series of commands after the AT attention code. When a series of commands is used, the individual commands may be separated with spaces for readability. The maximum length for a command line is 40 characters. Each command line is executed by the ISU
Express upon receipt of a terminating character. The default

CONFIGURING THE ISU EXPRESS FOR V.25 BIS IN-BAND DIALING
V.25 bis dialing is used primarily by DTE with synchronous interfaces (HDLC/SDLC or BSC/BISYNC) not supporting the
AT command set, which is commonly used by asynchronous devices. The ISU Express supports V.25 bis in-band dialing in accordance with Fascicle VIII.I - V.25 bis (Malaga-Torremolinos
1984, Melbourne 1988).
Recommendation V.25 uses the following DCE/DTE control signals:

SYNC V.25 Dialing
V.25 bis specifies that the characters should be ASCII, 7 bits, with even parity, and one stop bit. However, for versatility the ISU
Express allows the data bits, parity, and stop bits to be changed as defined under Data format.
This setting allows for V.25 bis messages in asynchronous (start/ stop) data format.
In synchronous mode, the ISU Express is an ISDN version of a synchronous modem. For configuration or troubleshooting, the unit requires connection to an async VT 100 terminal and the dial option must be set to AT Commands. After the unit is completely configured, set the dial option to V.25 bis and exit the VT 100 terminal interface.
The unit is now ready to respond to V.25 bis dialing commands. If it is necessary to re-enter the VT 100 interface for re-configuration, troubleshooting or to view the status buffer, press the Test button on the front panel of the unit. This enables the AT command mode; then type AT!V to activate the terminal interface.
SYNC V.25 HDLC Dialing
Although V.25 bis allows asynchronous data format, asynchronous DTE is more likely to support the AT command set than
V.25 bis.
This setting provides V.25 bis messages in bit-synchronous format (for example, HDLC, SDLC, X.25). The bit-synchronous format is the most commonly used by V.25 bis.
This option specifies that the characters should be 7-bit ASCII, with the 8th bit ignored (it may be either 0 or 1).
The first byte of each packet contains all one bits (A = FF HEX), and the second byte of each packet (the C byte) is either 13 HEX or 03 HEX if not the final packet.

SYNC V.25 BISYNC Dialing
This setting allows for V.25 bis messages in byte-synchronous format (BISYNC). V.25 bis specifies that the characters should be
ASCII, 7 bits, and odd parity. This setting allows synchronous
DTE which does not use HDLC to support serial in-band dialing.

Troubleshooting
When the ISU Express powers up, it performs an internal self test. This takes about 10 seconds. At the end of the test, the
PWR LED should remain on.
IF SELF TEST FAILS
If the LOC LED is not on or continuously flashes, the following steps will verify whether or not the problem can be fixed locally.
1. Ensure the ISU Express is receiving power.
2. Power off the ISU Express while holding down Select and
Test
, then power back up.
3. Continue holding the Select and Test buttons until the Loop
LED flashes once.
4. If the ISU Express still does not pass self test, Call ADTRAN
Technical Support for assistance.
IF THE ISU EXPRESS DOES NOT READ READY
When the ISU Express has been set up and connected to a line, but the Loop LED does not remain on after a few minutes, follow the troubleshooting procedure outlined below.
61
61202.081L1-1 ISU Express User Manual
Chapter 5. Troubleshooting
1.
Cycle power on the ISU Express, leaving it off for a minimum of two seconds; then turn the power on for one minute to ensure the Loop LED still does not come on.
2.
Disconnect the ISU Express. From a functioning voice phone, call the local directory number(s) provided with your line. Calling a good ISDN line with nothing connected usually results in a ring or fast busy tone. If someone answers, or you get a not-in-service intercept, there is probably something wrong with the translation of the line.
The phone service provider should be able to help.
3.
If the Loop LED still remains off, then there is a physical problem with the phone line (more than likely, a problem with the layer 1 setup). The problem is one or more of the places listed below:
• The ISU Express software setup
• The ISU Express hardware
• The wiring on your premises
• The telephone service provider’s wiring
• The telephone service provider’s hardware
• The telephone service provider’s software setup
To isolate the problem, perform the following procedure:
A. Ensure the line is plugged into the ISU Express connector marked ISDN DIAL on the back of the ISU Express.
B. Make sure the ISU Express is configured for Dial line service.
C. If possible, try another piece of functioning ISDN equipment with a U-interface on the line.
D. Talk to your service provider and ensure you have an
ISDN Basic Rate U-Interface with 2B1Q line coding
(wrong options are an S or T interface or AMI line coding).
62
ISU Express User Manual 61202.081L1-1
61202.081L1-1
Chapter 5. Troubleshooting
E. Ensure that your phone line is connected to the actual telephone line (U-interface) provided by your telephone company. Make sure your line is not connected through another piece of equipment such as an NT1 in a wiring closet somewhere.
F.
Make sure nothing else is bridged across the line pair.
G. With a minimum of extra wiring, try connecting to the line pair at the point where service provider’s wiring ends.
H. With the ISU Express connected to the line and powered up, talk to your service provider’s repair group and inform them that your ISDN basic rate line has a physical layer 1 problem. Ask them to check the line. Tell them that you have an NT1-like device a the end of the line.
4.
If the Loop Status in the ISU Express Status menu continuously reads Getting TEI #1, then the ISU Express is physically connected to your local telephone service provider but is unable to establish logical layer 2. The problem is in one or more of places listed below:
• The ISU Express software setup
• The telephone service provider’s software setup
• Hardware configuration, if the line is extended from the
switch
To isolate the problem, perform the following procedure:
A. Ensure the ISU Express is set up for the correct switch type.
B. Ensure the quality of your line is satisfactory by checking for near- and far-end block errors (NEBEs and
FEBEs). If the counts are non-zero, there may be a physical link problem as described in step 3.
ISU Express User Manual
63
Chapter 5. Troubleshooting
C. If possible, try another piece of functioning ISDN equipment with a U-interface on the line.
D. With the ISU Express connected to the line and powered up, talk to your service provider’s repair group and tell them you have an ISDN basic rate line that appears physically okay but has no terminal endpoint identifier
(TEI). Ask them to check the line translation and ensure that the line supports dynamic TEI allocation. Tell them that you have an NT1 and terminal adapter device connected to the line.
5.
If the Loop Status in the ISU Express Status menu continuously reads Register SPID #1, then the ISU Express is physically connected to your local telephone service provider and has established logical layer 2. The ISU Express is unable to establish layer 3. The problem is in one or both of the following places:
• The ISU Express software setup
• The telephone service provider’s software setup
To isolate the problem, perform the following procedure:
A. Ensure the ISU Express is set up for the correct switch type.
B. Make sure the line is multipoint.
C. Make sure the ISU Express is set up with the correct
SPID and LDN. For example:
4) SPID1 = 205722704646
5) SPID2 = 205722704747
6) LDN 1 = 7227046
7) LDN 2 = 7227047
D. If possible, try another piece of functioning ISDN equipment with a U-interface on the line.

E. With the ISU Express connected to the line and powered up, talk to your service provider’s repair group and tell them you have an ISDN basic rate line that appears physically okay but is unable to register its SPID(s). Ask them to check the line translation, ensure the line supports dynamic TEI allocation, and verify the SPIDs.
Tell them that you have an NT1 and terminal adapter device connected to the line.
6.
If the Loop Status in the ISU Express Status menu continuously reads Getting TEI #2, the ISU Express has completely initialized the first phone number but is unable to establish logical layer 2 for the second phone number. The problem is in one or both of the following places:
• The ISU Express software setup
• The telephone service provider’s software setup
To isolate the problem, perform the following procedure:
A. Ensure the line is multipoint with two phone numbers.
B. Ensure that the ISU Express is set up with the correct
SPID and LDN. For example:
4) SPID1 = 205722704646
5) SPID2 = 205722704647
6) LDN1 = 2704646
7) LDN2 = 2704747
C. Try swapping SPID1 with SPID2 and LDN1 with LDN2.
Determine if the problem is the second phone number or the quantity of phone numbers.
D. If possible, try another piece of functioning ISDN equipment with a U-interface on the line.
E. With the ISU Express connected to the line and powered up, talk to your service provider’s repair group and tell them you have an ISDN basic rate line that appears physically okay but is unable to register its SPID(s).

IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO CONNECT CALLS
See Table 5-A for corrective actions if you cannot connect calls.
Condition
The Loop LED remains on, but calls cannot be placed.
Local voice calls can be transmitted, but data calls to the same exchange cannot.
Table 5-A
Troubleshooting Calls
Corrective Action
Most likely a problem exists in the software setup
(translation) at the CO switch, or the network setup in the ISU Express.
The line is probably not set up to support data calls.
Local data calls go through, but long distance data calls do not.
Data calls can be made, but BONDED data calls cannot.
Ensure the far end is working. If not already doing so, place the call explicitly specifying the prefix of the long distance service (for example, 10288 for
AT&T). If this does not work, then the problem is probably the long distance service provider.
Another possibility is that the local service provider is not providing long distance access.
There may be a problem in the software setup
(translation) at the CO switch, or the network setup in the ISU Express.
Another possibility is that the data circuits provided are not good enough to support the BONDING negotiation process.
61202.081L1-1
If the line has two phone numbers, make sure the second SPID and LDN are entered correctly in
SPID2 and LDN2 in the ISU Express.
Check with the local service provider to ensure that the line supports two data calls. Looking at the
ISU Express status log buffer shows what sequence of events occurred. What you need to know is which piece of equipment first caused the
BONDING process to terminate. The status logs from both ends may be necessary to determine this.

Ordering ISDN Without IOCs
ISDN is a complex service with multiple options. Obtaining service from your local telephone company and long distance providers can sometimes be complicated. This appendix guides you and your telephone company in specifying and obtaining your ISDN service requirements.
To support most of the features in the ISU Express, your telephone service needs to meet certain requirements. A general description of these requirements follows. Depending on your actual data service needs, some features may be deleted. Other features may not be available in your area. Also, features may be deleted for economic reasons, depending on your needs and local tariffs. Talk to your telephone company first, and find out which of the services listed on the following pages are provided.
The following form has been designed to assist you. Complete and FAX this form to your telephone company to request the proper type of ISDN telephone line for use with the ADTRAN

Appendix F. Ordering ISDN Without IOCs
Long Distance Service
If facilities are available, subscribe to long distance service supporting the bearer capabilities previously listed. Request service supporting circuit-switched 64 kbps or 56 kbps access. It is recommended that the same long distance carrier end-to-end throughout the network to be used.
Deciding What Services to Order
If you are new to ISDN, first obtain the features previously listed. Refer to the section ISDN Service Ordering Information in this appendix as a basic guide. It is easier to begin operating on a full featured line because more options are available., lowering the chances of downtime when a particular service is turned off.
Later, features not actually used can be deleted.
If all of the previous features are not available, compare the actual data service requirements with those which are available.
A likely problem is the lack of a clear trunk to provide 64 kbps unrestricted data service. A solution is to use to 56 kbps service.
Sometimes voice circuits are suitable for data service at a reduced bit rate.
5ESS Custom Line Additional Parameters
The AT&T 5ESS central office telephone switch supports a proprietary ISDN D-channel call control protocol called Custom which is based on CCITT recommendations. The ISU Express configured for switch type AT&T 5ESS will work with lines providing this protocol on 5ESS switches with software version
5E6 or later.
The ISU Express supports the following configurations on 5ESS custom lines:
• Point-to-point with one phone number (recommended configuration with no POTS interface)
• Multipoint with one phone number

Multipoint lines require the phone company to create a SPID for each phone number on the line. With the exception of the ability to spread two calls across two phone numbers, multipoint lines offer no special features, and may create complications. However, if you use a multipoint line, the parameters are similar to the point-to-point line, except for the SPIDs.
The 5ESS switch can provide a variety of supplementary features which the ISU Express may not support. Enabling these features may have undesirable consequences. Avoid the following features:
• Packet Mode Data
• Multiline hunt groups
• Electronic key telephone set (EKTS)
• Shared directory numbers
• Intercom groups
• Network resource selector (modem pools)
• Message waiting

common channel interoffice signalling (CCIS)
A signalling system developed for use between stored program switching systems.
All of the signalling information for a group of trunks is transmitted over a dedicated high-speed data link rather than on a trunk. CCIS reduces call setup time compared to individual trunk signalling.
conditioning
Extra cost options that users may apply to leased or dedicated voice grade 3002-type
Telco data circuits, where line impedance is carefully balanced. Allows for higherquality or speed data transmission. Allows improved line performance in frequency response and delay distortion.
D-channel
The ISDN channel that carries signalling information to control the call setup, teardown, or invocation of supplementary services. The D-Channel may also be used to provide packet mode data service.
DDS
Dataphone Digital Service. AT&T private line service for transmitting data over a digital system. The digital transmission system transmits electrical signals directly, instead of translating the signals into tone of varied frequencies as with traditional analog transmission systems. Digital techniques provide more efficient use of transmission facilities, resulting in lower error rates and costs than analog systems.
digital hub

jitter
The slight movement of a transmission signal in time or phase that can introduce errors and loss of synchronization for high-speed synchronous communications. See phase jitter.
LATA
Local Access and Transport Area. One of 161 local telephone serving areas in the
United States, generally encompassing the largest standard statistical metropolitan areas. Subdivisions established as a result of the AT&T divestiture that now distinguish local from long distance service. Circuits with both end-points within the
LATA (intraLATA) are generally the sole responsibility of the local telephone company, while circuits that cross outside the LATA (interLATA) are passed on to an interexchange carrier.
loopback
A diagnostic procedure where data is sent to the device being tested, and the output of the device is fed directly back to its input, looped around, and the returning data is checked against that which was sent.

The layer 3 information that is passed between the CPE and SPCS for signalling.
multidrop
A communications arrangement where multiple devices share a common transmission channel, though only one may transmit at a time.
multiplexing
The combining of multiple data channels onto a single transmission medium. Any process through which a circuit normally dedicated to a single user can be shared by multiple users. Typically, user data streams are interleaved on a bit or byte basis
(time division) or separated by different carrier frequencies (frequency division).

non-ISDN line
Any connection from a CPE to a SPCS that is not served by D-Channel signalling.
non-ISDN trunk
Any trunk not served by either SS7 or D-Channel signalling.
NT1
Network Termination 1. A unit that provides physical and electromagnetic termination of the U-interface 2-wire transmission line. Converts between layer 1 formats used at the U- and T- reference points, and performs some maintenance functions.
NT2 phase jitter
In telephony, the measurement in degrees out-of-phase that an analog signal deviates from the reference phase of the main data-carrying signal. Often caused by alternating current components in a telecommunications network.
PRA
Network Termination 2. A unit that provides switching and concentration of subscriber lines at the S-interface. This unit performs the functions of a customer premises switch or multiplexer to multiplex B-channel(s) and D-channel(s) onto one physical path and to route calls to the appropriate B or D-channel.
Primary Rate Access. Connects high-capacity CPE, such as PBXs, to the network. In the U.S., this is composed of twenty-three 64 kbps channels and one 64 kbps Dchannel. Also known as primary rate interface (PRI).

regenerate
To restore a signal to original shape. Signals need to be restored because they become distorted and acquire noise as they travel or are transmitted. Analog signals cannot be regenerated because it is very hard for telecommunications equipment to distinguish between unwanted noise and wanted noise.

twisted pair
Two wires twisted around each other to reduce induction (interference) from one wire to the other. Several sets of twisted pair wires may be enclosed in a single cable.
Twisted pair is the normal cabling from a central office to your home or office, or from your PBX to your office phone. Twisted pair wiring comes in various thicknesses. As a general rule, the thicker the cable is, the better the quality of the conversation and the longer the cable can be and still get acceptable conversation quality. However, the thicker it is, the more it costs.
2B+D
The Basic Rate Interface (BRI) in ISDN. A single ISDN circuit divided into two 64 kbps digital channels for voice or data and one 16 kbps channel for low speed data
(up to 9600 baud) and signalling. 2B+D is carried on one or two pairs of wires depending on the interface, the same wire pairs that today bring a single voice circuit into your home or office. See ISDN.
23B+D
In ISDN, also known as the Primary Rate Interface. A circuit with a wide range of frequencies that is divided in twenty-three 64 kbps paths for carrying voice, data, video, or other information simultaneously. It bears a remarkable similarity to today's T1 link, except that T1 carries 24 voice channels. In ISDN, 23B+D gives twenty-three channels and one D-channel for out-of-band signalling. However, in T1, signalling is handled in-band. See ISDN.
two-wire circuit
A transmission circuit composed of two wires, signal and ground, used to both send and receive information. In contrast, a 4-wire circuit consists of two pairs. One pair is used to send. One pair is used to receive. All trunk circuits (long distance) are 4wire. A 4-wire circuit delivers better reception, but also costs more. All local loop circuits (those coming from a Class 5 central office to the subscriber's phone system) are 2-wire, unless a 4-wire circuit is requested.
U-interface
A twisted pair subscriber loop that connects the NT1 reference point to the ISDN network, as defined in the I.411 Recommendation. This interface provides Basic Rate
Access with an operating frequency of 160 kbps and an information rate of 144 kbps.
Under U.S. regulations, this also marks the line of demarcation between customerowned equipment and the public network.
