in the number of trunks required.

FEATURES AND CAPABILITIES
ISDN-PRI offers enhanced features that help businesses operate more effectively and efficiently. These
features include:
Non-Facilities Associated Signaling (NFAS)
NFAS is the ability to have a D-channel on one PRI to provide the signaling and control of other PRIs.
This allows the other PRIs to utilize all 24 of the B-channels for traffic.
Backup D-Channel
When utilizing NFAS, it's important to realize that the failure of the D-channel will result in failure
of all PRIs controlled by that D-channel. The backup D-channel provides customers with the mechanism to
automatically switch over from the primary D-channel to the backup D-channel if the active D-channel fails.
Caller ID
Provides customers with the calling information of inbound calls. The customer CPE must be properly equipped
to view this information.
Call by Call Service Selection
The ability, on a per-call basis, to indicate the type of call desired, without the need to dedicate specific
channels for specific call types. (Public inbound and outbound, voice, and data are the call types supported.)
Virtual Facility Groups (VFGs)
VFGs allow for the allocation of circuit capacity for a given service type (inbound and outbound calls).
LOCAL
ISDN-PRI IS IDEAL FOR:
Medium to Large Size Business customers
Customers needing clear 64kb for faster call setup for voice, data or video.
