Appendix C ISDN overview 539
Networking Configuration Guide
Your service provider supplies a Terminal Endpoint Identifier (TEI) and DN to support D-packet
service. The TEI is a number between 00 and 63 (in Canada, the default range is 21-63). Your
service provider may also supply you with a DN to program your D-packet device. The DN for
D-packet service becomes part of the dialing string used by the D-packet to call the packet handler.
Service provider features
BCM supports the following ISDN services and features offered by ISDN service providers:
• D-channel packet service (BRI only) to support devices such as transaction terminals.
Transaction terminals are used to swipe credit or debit cards and transmit the information to a
financial institution in data packets.
• Calling number identification (appears on both BCM sets and ISDN terminal equipment with
the capability to show the information).
• Multi-Line hunt or DN hunting which switches a call to another ISDN line if the line usually
used by the Network DN is busy. (BRI only)
• Subaddressing of terminal equipment (TE) on the same BRI loop. However, terminal
equipment which supports sub-addressing is not commonly available in North America. (BRI
only)
Transmission of B-channel packet data using nailed-up trunks is not supported by BCM.
Contact your ISDN service provider for more information about these services and features. For
more information about ordering ISDN service in North America, see “Ordering ISDN PRI” on
page 545 and “Ordering ISDN BRI” on page 546.
The terminal equipment (TE) connected to the BCM system can use some feature codes supported
by the ISDN service provider.
Network name display
This feature allows ISDN to deliver the Name information of the users to those who are involved
in a call that is on a public or private network.
Your BCM system displays the name of an incoming call when the name is available from the
service provider. If the Calling Party Name has the status of private it may be displayed as
Private name if that is how the service provider has indicated that it should be displayed. If the
Calling Party Name is unavailable it may be displayed as
Unknown name.
Your system might display the name of the called party on an outgoing call, if it is provided by
your service provider. Your system sends the Business Name concatenated with the set name on
an outgoing call but only after the Business Name has been programmed.
The available features include:
• Receiving Connected Name
• Receiving Calling Name
