The ISDN Service feature provides end-to-end digital connections and uses a high-speed interface that provides service-independent access to switched services. Through internationally accepted standard interfaces, an ISDN provides circuit or packet-switched connections within a network, and can link to other ISDN-supported interfaces to provide national and international digital connections.
Note:
This feature description does not contain procedures for working with ISDN trunk groups. Due to the complexity of ISDN technology and the potential consequences of errors, ask your Avaya representative to help you in planning, installing, and administering ISDN trunks.
