Chapter 3: Provisioning and Operation

The instructions for many ISDN-BRI communications devices may specify 

Provi-

sioning required of the telephone company. Provisioning is a means of configuring
the ISDN switch so it knows what kind and how many calls communications devices
can support, up to the limits imposed by ISDN-BRI technology. Provisioning also
specifies various Supplementary Services, such as call appearances, display
support, etc.

The Simulator provides the most common services supplied for the selected Switch
Type. Most communications devices should operate correctly with default provision-
ing, which is retained in a Terminal Service Profile (TSP). The Simulator TSP has a
fixed and a variable part. The following fixed provisioning is established for all
Switch Types:

B Channels:

2

B1 Call Types:

CMV, CMD (All Bearer Services)

B2 Call Types:

CMV, CMD (All Bearer Services)

The variable part of the TSP may be changed using the  Windows based software
supplied with the ILS-1000. Not all variable settings are applicable for all Switch
Types. The settings are,

D Channel X.25 PHF:

None,Permanent(PVC),Dial-up(SVC)

B Channel:

NONE, Permanent B1, Permanent B2, Permanent Both,
Loopback

Caller IDentification:

ON/OFF

Terminal Display Text:

ON/OFF

Multi-Point:

ON/OFF

EKTS:

ON/OFF

Call Appearances:

1-15, 0 = OFF

KEY HOLD:

OFF,ON:AUTO-DROP,ON:AUTO-HOLD

ACO:

ON,OFF

These settings are fully described in the following sections.

Configuration Software Installation

The ILS-1000 configuration software is supplied on a 3.5" diskette.  This diskette
has a program that is installed and run under Windows

®

 3.1, 3.11 Windows for

Workgroups, or Windows 95.  To install this software, place the diskette into a 3.5'
disk drive and from Program Manager, select File / Run / x:setup.exe, where x is the
name of your 3.5" disk drive.  During installation, a message may appear saying that
a certain file could not be installed because it is already installed and in use.  Con-
tinue with the installation until complete.  A Program Window will be created that  is
labelled ILS-1000 Configuration and includes an icon labelled ILS-1000 Configura-
tion.  Double click on this icon to start the software and provision the ILS-1000.
