Features Within National ISDN Enhancements Process, SR-3681, Issue 6, December 1999.
Abstract: This document represents a snapshot of Integrated
Services Digital Network (ISDN) features within the National ISDN
Enhancements process. Telcordia and the regional companies working with
industry members and with input from the National ISDN Users' Forum (NIUF)
have developed a new process for identifying feature enhancements to
National ISDN. This document describes the process and presents the
NI-Enhancement candidates and identifies their position in the process.

1999 Version of National ISDN Basic Rate Interface Terminal Equipment Generic Guidelines, SR-4620, December 1998.
Abstract: Contains changes to SR-4288, "1998 Version of National ISDN Basic Rate Interface Terminal Equipment Generic Guidelines."
Generic Guidelines for ISDN Basic Rate Interface (BRI) Voice Terminal Adapters, SR-
3355, Issue 1, January 1995
Abstract: This document provides Telcordia view of proposed generic guidelines for terminals
that offer Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) terminal adapter capabilities on Basic Rate
Interfaces (BRIs). ISDN terminal adapters provide the interworking function between
conventional analog lines and ISDN lines, allowing analog terminals connected to these adapters
the ability to continue to function and operate in an ISDN environment. The generic guidelines in
this document will apply only to terminals that offer ISDN terminal capabilities for voice
applications. More specifically, this document assumes that the basic R-interface (i.e., between
an ISDN terminal and an analog terminal) support a conventional analog telephone access line
with Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) capabilities.
National ISDN-3, SR-NWT-002457, Issue 1, December 1993
Abstract: This document describes and defines National ISDN-3 (NI-3). This builds upon the work begun in NI-1 and NI-2, as defined SR NWT-001937 and SR NWT-002120, respectively with the intent of furthering the progress towards the goal of Nationa
l ISDN.
NI-3 is the culmination of an industry effort to realize a marketable and feasible set of features taking into consideration market needs, difficulty of implementation, and ease of use.
National ISDN-2, SR-NWT-002120, Issue 1, May 1992 & Revision 1, June 1993
Abstract: This Special Report defines the National ISDN-2 (NI-2) set of features and functional capabilities to be provided in the National ISDN offering, composed of those directly related to serving user applications, as well as operations suppo
rt and billing capabilities aimed at service providers.
Identification of the required capabilities is derived from a variety of sources, with Telcordia generic requirements, in most cases, providing the norm for defining those capabilities.
National ISDN-1, SR-NWT-001937, Issue 1, February 1991 & Supplement 1, February 1993
Abstract: A group of Telcordia Technical References (TRs) was published in 1988 giving Telcordia view of proposed generic requirements to provide Telcordia Client Companies (BCCs) with the flexibility to meet changing customer needs as ISDN is introduced.
These TRs are referred to as the ISDN Phase 1 TRs. In mid-1990, it became apparent from information supplied by some network switch vendors that full compliance with the Phase 1.1 ISDN feature set was not feasible by the end of 1991.
Since that time, Telcordia has been working to identify a marketable and maintainable package based on the ISDN Phase 1.1 TRs that switch vendors can develop in the 1991-1992 time frame.
Telcordia has prepared this document to summarize the results of this effort, now
known as 1992 Nationwide ISDN. BCCs have indicated their desire to proceed with the introduction of ISDN as the platform for the communication networks of the next century.
1992 Nationwide ISDN is viewed as the platform needed to create an offering for both the large business and mass markets. The mass market as refocused by the BCCs includes small business Centrex and residence customers.
