ISDN Switches
Depending on the type of ISDN lines you are using, your service
provider may assign zero, one, or two SPIDs per line.
ISDN Errors
The following table describes ISDN standard cause values that
indicate ISDN call status. Although the cause values are
standardized, each ISDN service provider phrases the cause
differently. Therefore, the causes shown in the table might not be the
