800 NI-BRI Module 3
Available for Release 4.0 and later systems, this module supplies eight line/trunk
jacks for connecting central office facilities that use the standard National ISDN 1
(Integrated Services Digital Network 1) protocol and the BRI (Basic Rate
Interface) access arrangement (this combination is abbreviated
NI-1 BRI
). These
digital facilities are available from COs in many areas.
Each facility actually includes two “virtual” lines, two B-channels for carrying voice
and data, as well as a third D-channel for handling signaling and maintenance.
NOTE:
The 800 NI-BRI module is not available in Behind Switch mode.

Figure 3–3 shows the modules; Table 3–1 lists the number of available jacks for
each module and presents a brief description of the equipment you can connect
to it.
NOTE:
Modules labeled “GS/LS” can accept ground-start trunks, loop-start trunks,
or a combination of both types of trunks.
