Field Description
Switch Type
If your switch type is not currently shown, press the space bar to change to the
next switch; repeat until you see the correct switch type. The majority of switches
run NI-1; if the link LED does not come up, try NI-1.
The Prestige will not be able to place or to receive calls if the wrong switch type
is specified. If you are not sure, contact your telephone company to confirm the
exact switch type.
In general, this will be Switch/Switch (the default). If you are only using one B
channel (e.g., your Prestige is sharing the ISDN BRI line with another device),
then select Switch/Unused. If your second B channel is a leased line, select
Switch/Leased. Press the [Space bar] to toggle through all the options. These
options are
