Network Access Methods and Services
The router initiates, monitors, and terminates dial-up connections using a modem
or ISDN terminal adapter that supports Raise DTR, V.25bis, or Hayes signaling,
or a router with a built-in ISDN interface connected directly to an ISDN network.
If the router has internal ISDN capability, you do not need external dial devices.
All three dial services can access a switched network using the following
methods:
• Integrated ISDN capability -- Provides a BRI or Primary Rate Interface
(PRI) for digital connectivity from the router to the destination device,
replacing standard analog phone lines. Using signals on an ISDN line, the
router instructs the network to set up a call to a particular destination. ISDN
capability eliminates the need for dial devices such as modems, because you
no longer need to convert digital signals to analog. An ISDN network also
allows you to send data, voice, and video over the same digital line.
• Raise DTR -- A signaling method that enables access to the network by
preprogramming the destination phone numbers into the dial device (modem
or ISDN terminal adapter). Raise DTR signaling works with the following
interfaces: X.21, V.35, RS-232, and RS-422.
• V.25bis -- A signaling method that enables access to the network by passing
the destination phone numbers from the router to the dial device (modem or
ISDN terminal adapter). This method lets the dial device support connections
to multiple destinations. V.25bis signaling works with the following
interfaces: X.21, V.35, RS-232, and RS-422.
• Hayes -- A signaling method that enables network access by passing the
destination phone numbers from the router to the dial device (modem or ISDN
terminal adapter). Using Hayes signaling, the router sends an AT initialization
command to interact with the dial device. The ARN internal V.34 modem uses
Hayes signaling.
Note:
For Basic Rate Interface (BRI) service, you need a network terminator 1
(NT1) to connect to an ISDN network. The router’s ISDN/BRI adapter module
does not include an internal NT1, so you or your service provider must supply it.
For the ARN
™
, the ISDN/BRI S/T adapter module does not have an NT1, so you
or your service provider must supply it. The ARN ISDN/BRI U adapter module
has the NT1 built in.
