ISDN Line Simulator User’s Manual

CHAPTER 1:
QUICK START
The ILS-2000 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,
functionally 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:
This unit is set at 115 VAC
operation at the factory. 230 VAC power may be used, see
Chapter 5 for details.
Step 3
Connect the ILS-2000 to your computer's serial port using the
supplied RS-232 cable, and if needed, the supplied DB-9M to
DB-25F adapter.
Step 4
A 3.5" diskette is provided with the ILS-2000 to change the
configuration of the unit. To install this windows based
software, place the diskette in the appropriate drive and from
Windows Program Manager, select FILE, RUN, A:Setup.
Step 5
Start the ILS Configuration Program.
Step 6
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 will begin.
Please wait 60 seconds
before attempting to place any ISDN calls. This will give
the ILS-2000 time to complete its self test.
Step 7
The Simulator is configured at the factory for National ISDN-1
protocol. 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 communications device does
not operate correctly, you may need to change the Simulator’s
provisioning. These settings are fully described in Chapter 3.
NOTE: The instructions for many ISDN-BRI
communications devices may specify Switch Provisioning
required of the telephone 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
