6.6 ISDN BRI Interfaces
6.6.1 Connecting to BRI Lines
The device provides up to four BRI S/T ports. These ports connect to ISDN terminal
equipment such as ISDN telephones. Each BRI port can be configured either as termination
equipment/user side (TE) or network termination/network side (NT). Up to eight terminal
equipment (TE) devices can be connected per BRI S/T port, using an ISDN S-bus that
provides eight ISDN ports. When configured as NT, the BRI port drives a nominal voltage of
38 V with limited current supply of up to 100 mA.
Cable specification:
Cable: 26 AWG min. wire

To connect the BRI ports:
1. Connect the BRI cable to the device's BRI RJ-45 port.
