Chapter 1: Quick Start
The ILS-1000 Line Simulator is easier to operate than most communications devices
designed for ISDN-BRI applications. It functions in the background, providing two
lines of end-to-end ISDN-BRI service.
Because the Simulator was designed primarily for people who demonstrate, func-
tionally test, or configure ISDN-BRI devices, you do not need to understand ISDN
protocols or read the entire User’s Manual to use it. Simply follow the instructions
outlined below to successfully simulate most ISDN-BRI communications devices
and computer applications.
Step 1
Place the Simulator on a flat surface near the ISDN equipment to be
connected.
Step 2
Insert the power cord into the three-pronged outlet located at the rear
of the Simulator. Plug the other end into a standard 115 VAC, 60 Hz
wall outlet. NOTE: 230 VAC Power may be used, see Chapter 5 for
details.
Step 3
Apply power to the Simulator by pressing the power switch - located
at the rear of the Simulator - to the PWR ON position. An internal self-
test, lasting about 30 seconds, is performed. The STATUS LED
located on the front panel will switch between Red and Green during
this self-test. The STATUS LED changes to a continuous solid green
if the self-test is completed satisfactorily.
Step 4
The Simulator is configured at the factory for National ISDN-1 proto-
col. The Simulator is provisioned for default service, as normally
practiced for the selected switch type. Most communications devices
operate correctly with this provisioning. However, if your communica-
tions device does not operate correctly, you may need to change the
Simulator’s provisioning. These settings are fully described in Chapter
3. A list of recommended settings for different terminal types (AT&T
CUSTOM) is available in the ILS-1000 configuration software.
NOTE:
The instructions for many ISDN-BRI communications
devices may specify Switch Provisioning required of the tele-
phone company. Provisioning is a means of configuring the
ISDN switch so it knows what kind and how many calls your
communications devices can handle, up to the limits imposed
by ISDN-BRI technology. Provisioning also specifies which
types of Supplementary Services your equipment may request,
such as call appearances, display support, etc.
Step 5
A 3.5" diskette is provided with the ILS-1000 to change the configura-
tion of the ILS-1000. To install this windows based software, place the
diskette in the appropriate drive and from Windows Program Manager,
select FILE, RUN, A:Setup.
