ISDN
Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) technology provides a fast, 
accurate and reliable means of sending and receiving data, image text and 
voice information through the telephone system. 
By using Basic Rate Interface (BRI), your ISDN service allows for faster 
transmission speeds and the addition of a variety of powerful business 
applications, including remote LAN access, videoconferencing, file 
transfer and Internet access.

Note: System telephone features, other than Transfer and Call Forward All 
Calls, are not available to ISDN terminals. In addition, you cannot

Dial digit from an ISDN terminal.
Line access from an ISDN terminal
ISDN terminals do not have line keys or intercom keys as do Norstar and 
BST telephones. To make an outgoing call from an ISDN terminal, access

Network Call Diversion (profile 2)
This feature is a network function that allows forwarding and redirection of 
calls outside the Norstar network when using an ETSI ISDN line. 
Functionality is similar to that of External Call Forward (ECF). NCD 
redirects calls using the same line on which they arrive. Call forward is 
efficient since there is no need for additional outside lines.

differently on different days and at different times of the day: Ringing 
service, Restriction service and Routing service.
Each of the three services, and the six schedules available to  each service, 
are customized for you by your installer or customer service representative.
