(ASCEND) Pipeline 75 - Provision/voice feature questions.




As per documentation, I provisioned my ISDN line for a P-75 (5.1Ap4) 
using the basic "S1" code and (I think) everything behaved pretty much as 
described on page B-3 of the User's Guide, "How incoming voice calls are 
handled." In particular, when I used the router to dial my ISP, log on 
and get email, surf, etc... the (analog) phone plugged into the POTS 
would ring if that number received a voice call.

Unfortunately, I didn't get call forwarding as wanted. Ascend support 
said the "U" code would also work for the P-75 and supported premium 
calling features over the POTS jacks. So, I called Ameritech, tried to 
make sure that the only difference would be added features, and changed 
to "U". 

Now, a voice call to the primary number gets a busy signal if I'm 
connected to my ISP (one channel) and call forwarding _still_ doesn't 
work. Ameritech is saying everything is behaving exactly as it should at 
the switch. I found the following differences between the S1 
configuration and what I have now with, supposedly, the U 
(National/NI-1 5ESS switch, by the way).

Circuit Switched Data (CSD)   S1=2, U=1
CSD limit   S1=2,  U=1
CSD Notification Busy (NB) limit   S1=1, U=blank (?!?!?)

Would this account for the changes I've seen in the way incoming voice 
calls are handled? Are there any Ameritech customers out there who have 
been here/done this  - been able to get call forwarding with analog phone 
on P-75 POTS?

thanks.
