Placing Multirate Calls
Both ends of a connection must support multirate for it to work. You enable
multirate and specify the transmission rate of each multirate call when you
configure an outgoing phone number for a circuit. (For specific instructions, see
“Enabling PRI Multirate” on page 13-17.) Each multirate call can operate at a
different transmission rate. You determine the transmission rate by specifying the
number of B channels the circuit can use for a phone number. The greater the
number of B channels, the faster the transmission rate because the circuit has more
bandwidth.
You can place several multirate calls over the same PRI connection; however, the
total number of B channels for each call cannot exceed the number of lines in the
pool or the number of lines supported by the network switch. If there are no
available B channels in the line pool, the call fails.
Call setup across the D channel is simple. You set up a call only once, regardless
of how many B channels are in use.
Incoming Call Filtering
Incoming call filtering is a security feature that works with the ISDN caller ID
service. Incoming call filtering lets the router filter incoming calls based on the
calling party’s phone number. This feature is available for BRI and PRI service.
The router filters incoming calls based on a list of phone numbers that you specify
in an incoming phone list. The phone number you enter must exactly match the
phone number that the switch sends to the router. If the phone number is included
in the router’s list, the router accepts the call. If not, the router rejects the call. This
ensures that only authorized users have access to your network.
Note:
If you enable multirate calls across a bandwidth-on-demand circuit, you
must configure each line’s external clock speed. Line speed is critical to
balancing traffic across a multilink bundle, which is a group of dial-up lines
that help reduce congestion on a leased line.
Caution:
To use incoming call filtering, you must purchase caller ID service
from your ISDN service provider. If you enable incoming call filtering without
caller ID service, the router rejects all incoming calls.
