Monitoring ISDN Line Usage
After you have first configured the unit for use with ISDN, it is important
to monitor ISDN line usage to ensure that the unit is working in the way
you expect.
Check the ISDN DATA LED to ensure that unexpected calls are not being
made or that connections are not remaining open when you expect
them to have closed. As in a conventional telephone call, charges are
made regardless of what is sent down the line until the call is dropped.
If you want to ensure that ISDN line usage is limited, set up ISDN
Timebands or set the
Maximum Call Duration
parameter. See the
AccessBuilder ISDN Access Router Software Reference
guide for more
information on these features.

a leased line link, the initial setup is very simple.
