You must specify system level, LAN
profile, and user profile parameters to prepare the Cisco 700 series
router for operation in an ISDN environment.
- System-level configuration-Select
the switch that matches the ISDN provider switch at the central
office (CO). This requirement is necessary because, despite
standards, signaling specifics differ regionally and nationally.
Set destination details, such as the directory numbers, and
enter service profile identifiers (SPIDs), if required.
System-level configuration also includes assigning a system name
and setting MLP off if you are connecting to a Cisco IOS
software-based router running Release 11.0(3) or earlier.
- LAN profile configuration-Specify
an IP address and subnet mask for the Ethernet interface.
Specify the types of packets to be routed. In this case, turn IP
routing on and set IP RIP update to periodic.
- User profile configurations-Specify
the characteristics of each user that you plan to dial. In our
application, there is only one user-the ISP on the other end of
the ISDN connection. Assign the user a name, set IP routing on,
set the framing type, set the ISDN phone number you will dial,
set the encapsulation type, and set the static route.
After these profiles are created, you
can define optional features, including caller ID, authentication
type, and timeout value for the ISDN connection.
