Introduction
With increased functionality and features comes increased complexity and flexibility. The
following notes are intended as a guide to configuring Allied Telesis routers for both
optimal performance and “clean” operation.
Due to the flexibility and sophistication that can be achieved using ISDN services, the
command interfaces for ISDN products are invariably very extensive. Allied Telesis routers
lead the field in exploiting the capabilities of ISDN. As a result, the commands for
configuring an ISDN call on the Allied Telesis router have more parameters and options
than just about any other in the router’s entire command set. Hence, using these
commands can seem to be a daunting task.
This document is intended to lead the reader through the most common commands in the
ISDN set. Just getting the call to open, though, is only half the story. A further consideration
is whether you have made optimum use of all the available authentication and call-handling
features. Given the large number of available features, it is difficult to know whether or not
you have configured the call in the manner most optimal for your requirements.
The purpose of this document is to examine all the ISDN configuration options available on
Allied Telesis routers, explain their purpose in practical terms, and give examples of how they
might be used
