installing ISDN lines

[ARCOER]

This might be a dumb question. I am working with a Avaya G3siv11. I am going to be installing ISDN lines for a video teleconference room. I am going to install 3 ISDN lines for a speed of 384. Do I need to inform the local telephone company or can I just set them up as data modules and be done?

you don't need to tell the provider.

If your ISDN provider is AT&T or Sprint (the only 2 ISDN PRI providers, that work with ISDN calls over their network as 64K data calls), yes, you are supposed to register the DID's being used with them, so they can gurantee the calls will be routed as 64K data calls, as most Long Distance calls are handled as 56K voice calls. AT&T and Sprint are pretty much the only 2 companies in the US that can transit those calls as 64K data calls on their Long Distance networks. Yuo will discover this soon, if you havn't already. The symptom will be, other Video Conference units will be able to call and connect to you, but you will not be able to call them back, the culprit will be the LD provider is not handling the call as a 64K data call.

Thanks, I will be setting these up for 3 BRI lines. What if the symptoms are I can call them using ISDN but when they try to call me ISDN they start to downspeed and we lose the call?

no, you just will not be able to connect at 64K per channel, only at 56K, if that even works...
