Overview

PPL timer and configuration bytes are stored on a per D channel basis for ISDN configuration. If a timer or configuration byte is changed for a D channel, all B channels controlled by the D channel will use the new timer or configuration byte value.

If you change the type of ISDN connection using the ISDN Interface Configure message, the system resets all B channel configuration parameters back to their default values. If you have to modify the default ISDN PPL configuration bytes or PPL timers, you must use the PPL Configure message after you change the Connection Type.
