About ISDN
Your new Lucent Technologies 970 Telephone is
developed for use with ISDN service. ISDN (Integrated
Services Digital Network) is one of the ways you can
get local telephone service from your local provider.
ISDN service has been around for a while and is
extensively used by large companies. Now the service
is affordable and attractive to small companies and
residences with telephone needs that stretch the limits
of traditional service.
Before you can use your telephone, you need to apply
for ISDN service from your local telephone service
provider. There are various packages of service
available, and you need to consider the differences
carefully.
You have a long list of features available to you with
your combination of ISDN service and your Lucent
Technologies ISDN 970 Telephone. Together they give
you an ISDN System that can be customized to fit
your needs. Because of these capabilities, there are a
few steps to be completed to set up your system, after
which you can customize your system as much or as
little as you require. (See the Installation and Setup
Manual.)
ISDN Terms
Here are a few terms you will want to understand as
you customize your ISDN system.
Call Appearance: With traditional telephone service,
you had a “telephone line” on which you could have a
single “call appearance.” Then came call waiting, and
you had two call appearances per telephone line: you
talked on one call appearance and the other call came
in on the second. You could toggle back and forth
between the two call appearances by putting one call
appearance on hold. ISDN service can provide you
with multiple call appearances.

970 ISDN Telephone
SPID: More than one telephone number may be
assigned to you, according to your ISDN service, and
each telephone number may have different features.
The local telephone service provider has provided a
SPID (Service Profile Identifier). It’s not the number
someone uses to call you: that number is still a
“telephone number.” But it is the number the network
system uses to identify you. You won’t have much to
do with your SPID after you setup your system, but it
must be entered during the initial installation. The
SPID is provided by your local telephone company.
DN: Your “Directory Number” (or telephone number)
is the number others use to call your system.
Depending on your ISDN service, you may have more
than one DN.
National ISDN: National ISDN service standardizes
ISDN service across the nation.
Download Programming: Depending on your
service, some configuration settings may be
automatically set for you when your telephone requests
a download from the service provider.

Display
The 3-line by 20-character display provides system
instructions and responses to what is happening on a
call and to your actions. A typical display screen looks
like this:
Select
Message Rate: Med
SLOW MED FAST DONE
The first line of the display will often name the feature
or function you are using or modifying. In the
illustration above, the first line indicates that you have
chosen to modify or view the current setting for the
Timed Message Rate.
When appropriate, the second line will show the
current setting of an option or feature. In the illustrated
display, the current setting of the Timed Message Rate
is Medium.
Softkeys
“Softkeys” may appear on the bottom line of the
display as underlined text. When they appear, they
label the function of the buttons directly below the
display area. So, in the illustration to the left, you
would press the far left button to change the setting to
SLOW. When finished modifying the feature, press the
far right button for DONE.
There will not always be four softkeys. Sometimes
there will be fewer; sometimes a softkey will span two
buttons. If a button does not have a softkey label, that
button is not active at that time.

Parts of the Telephone
Auxiliary Jack: (Labeled AUX) Connects an external
analog telecommunications device, like a fax machine,
telephone, or modem, to the ISDN 970 telephone. The
auxiliary jack may be assigned a separate SPID and
telephone number, depending on your configuration.
See the Installation and Setup manual.
The device connected to the auxiliary jack and the 970
ISDN telephone cannot be used simultaneously unless
it is assigned a separate SPID and telephone number.
If a separate SPID and telephone number have been
assigned, the device connected to the auxiliary jack
and the 970 Telephone are completely separate and are
not extensions of each other, as though they were
plugged into separate telephone jacks.
Handset Jack: On the handset side of the telephone, it
connects the handset cord.
WARNING: Do NOT insert the handset cord in the
LINE or AUX jack on the back of the 970 Telephone.
To do so could cause equipment damage.
(back)
Line Jack: (Labeled LINE) Connects the ISDN line
cord to your telephone.
WARNING: Do NOT insert the ISDN line cord into
the AUX jack on the back of the 970 Telephone. To do
so could cause equipment damage.
Power Jack: (Labeled POWER) Connects the AC
power adapter to your telephone.
Personality Module: A card containing the software
required to operate the 970 Telephone. This card is
removable for ease of upgrade.
