ISDN Interface Configure 0x0060

SwitchKit Name

ISDNInterfaceConfig

Type

EXS API and SwitchKit API message

Description

Use this message to configure general options to an ISDN interface. It should be sent immediately following the D Channel Assign message.

NOTE: PCM encoding for channels controlled by the D channel is defaulted based on the network signaling variant. E-1 spans configured for Euro-ISDN default to a-law, while all other variants default to µ-law. For more information, see the message PCM Encoding Format Configure (0x00D9).
