Programming ISDN equipment
Terminal equipment for BRI cards
Unlike Norstar sets, ISDN devices and terminals connected to the ICS must 
be configured under the Hardware heading in system programming. You 
choose directory numbers for ISDN equipment from a pre-determined 
range of DNs (273-304). Any of the ISDN DNs can be assigned to any 
U-LT or S loop, but each can only be assigned to one loop and a single 
device.
Devices on an S or LT loop...
