About Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3500 Gateway Applications and Topologies
The Cisco PRI gateway features configurable E1/T1 PRI ISDN connections. When configured as an E1
connection, each port provides 30 B channels and one D signaling channel. When configured as a T1
connection, each port provides 23 B channels and one D signaling channel. The type of line available
depends on your local ISDN provider. You configure the gateway PRI port to an E1 or T1 interface
accordingly. In addition, you can choose to activate only specific channels by using fractional channel
selection.
PRI Gateways
You can connect the PRI gateway directly to a PRI line provided by your local ISDN provider (as shown
in Figure 1-4), or to a local private branch exchange (PBX) that provides the PRI connection (as shown
in Figure 1-5).
