5.5 ISDN BRI Interfaces
Note: BRI interface is a customer ordered item.
5.5.1 Connecting to BRI Lines
The device provides up to two BRI S/T ports, if ordered. 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.
