Example: Configuring an ISDN terminal adapter

The example demonstrates how to configure an Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) terminal adapter.

1. In iSeries™ Navigator, select your system and expand Network > Remote Access Services.

2. Right-click Modems, and select New Modem.

3. On the General tab, enter the correct values in all the field boxes.

4. Optional: Click the ISDN Parameters tab to add any necessary initialization commands for your modem.

   For ISDN terminal adapters, the commands and parameters in this list are sent to the terminal adapter only for the following conditions:

   • When commands or parameters in the list are either changed or added

   • As a result of certain error recovery actions that the system performs

   Consequently, these commands should include and be limited to the following settings:

   • Setting the ISDN switch type and version that is provided by the local telephone company.

   • Setting the directory numbers and the service profile identifiers (SPIDs) that are provided by the local telephone company.

   • Setting the Terminal Entry IDs (TEIs) that might be provided by the local telephone company.

   • Setting B channel protocol (asynchronous-to-synchronous PPP).

   • Other modem settings that have variable length parameters that require a carriage return to indicate the parameter length.

   • Saving and activating the new settings so they are restored after either resetting them or powering off the system.

   • The U interface active state probe command (ATDx), which allows the system to determine when synchronization with the ISDN central office switch has been achieved. The x can be any of the digits that are allowed for a telephone number, including # and *.

5. Click Add to additional modem commands. These can be with or without an associated parameter and a brief description to the command list. Any commands that you specify without an associated parameter can be assigned a parameter when the modem is associated with a line description.

6. Click OK to save your entries, and close the New Modem Properties page.
