Set Up Notes
The Cisco 3640 router with ISDN switch type setting of basic-qsig supports both protocol sides by using
the isdn protocol-emulate network/user command.
• The Alcatel 4400 supports both “USER” (slave) and “NETWORK” (master) protocol sides.
• The following options are of particular interest:
• Trunk interface type must be set to BRA2.
• Network/User options are set in the Board/Digital Access Options menu. Network mode must be
set to Yes for Master/Network or No for Slave/User.
• Access Type must be set to T0.
• Q931 signal variant is used to determine Protocol type. This option was set to ISDN ABC-F.
The Alcatel 4400 PBX configuration screen for the BRI trunk interface is reached using both Alcatel Board
and Board\Digital Access menus, setting the BRI physical layer parameters.
