nII-Digits
II-Digits provide information about the originating line. For example, these 
digits will indicate if the call is originating from a prison, a cellular system, a 
coin machine, or special operator, etc. II-Digits are passed to the 
DEFINITY ECS by the network on Integrated System Digital Network 
Primary Rate Interface (ISDN-PRI) trunks and are then passed to the 
adjunct over an ASAI link. An ASAI application can use the information 
provided by II-Digits...

There are two distinct types of ISDN board failures: 
1. Inability to download the ISDN board firmware (failure to “pump”). This is 
discovered at installation time and can be diagnosed by checking the 
/usr/adm/isdn/isdn_log file for errors during the pumping phase. 
2. This is link traffic related. At link message rates, approximately 1/3 to 1/2 
the bandwidth of the ISDN link (link bandwidth is 30 messages per 
second), the ISDN board will experience a hardware...

ISDN link. For example, if three ISDN links and two LAN links are installed, the 
ISDN links will be links 1, 2, 3 and the LAN links will be links 4 and 5. If no ISDN 
links are installed, LAN links will be configured starting at link number 1. The 
installation scripts will perform this numbering automatically. It is not possible to 
change the number of links (ISDN or LAN) without completely uninstalling and 
reinstalling the CallVisor PC ISDN, CallVisor PC LAN...

2. Decide on the shared memory addresses (SCMA) that the IPCI boards will 
use. The default PC memory space address for one IPCI board is d0000. 
Use this default address as long as it does not conflict with any other 
hardware. See Task 1 in Chapter 3, “Configure The Platform Hardware” of 
PC/ISDN Platform Installation and Reference for details on setting the 
address selection switches to use the desired address; also see Table 3-3,
