Background Information
In Germany (and possibly in some other countries), local telephone companies offer an ISDN line called "Anlagenanschluss". This line, or very often a "hunt-group" of multiple lines, refers to a group of lines with the same subscriber number. Anlagenanschluss intends to connect only one ISDN device such as a private branch exchange (PBX).
Configure ISDN BRI for "Anlagenanschluss"
This section describes how you can use these ISDN lines on a Cisco router.
In order to use Anlagenanschluss on a Cisco router, configure the isdn static-tei 0 interface configuration command on the BRI interface(s) as shown here:
Router# configure terminal Router(config)# interface bri 0 Router(config-if)# isdn static-tei 0 Warning: Interface must be cleared after reconfiguring the TEI. Router(config-if)# !--- Issue the shutdown and no shutdown commands !--- to activate new TEI configuration. Router (config-if)# shutdown Router (config-if)# no shutdown
Without the isdn static-tei 0 command, the ISDN Layer 2 status gets stuck in the "TEI_ASSIGNED" state, and the output of debug isdn q921 command repeats these two lines:
RX SABMEp c/r = 1 sapi = 0 tei = 0 RX IDCKRQ ri = 0 ai = 0
