ISDN THEORY & PRACTICE FUNDAMENTALS

Description

A 5-day training course to provide participants with a detailed understanding of the ISDN concepts. An overview of the concepts of digital switching, transmission and of switched networks is given as an introduction to the course. Applications and implementation and testing guidelines are also reviewed.

Objectives

• Introduce the fundamental concepts of digital switching and transmission which are essential to understanding ISDN concepts
• Review the Open System Interconnection (OSI) reference model
• Provide a detailed understanding of ISDN concepts
• Describe the interfaces, equipment and protocols required to implement ISDN networks
• Review Broadband ISDN (B-ISDN)
• Introduce ISDN applications that are being used in today’s telecommunications environment
