Preface


Objective

The Cisco VCO/4K ISDN Supplement provides detailed information on using the Interface Controller Card (ICC) with the Integrated Services Digital Network Primary Rate Interface (ISDN PRI) package and the Non-Facility Associated Signaling (NFAS) option. It emphasizes additional functionality for ISDN PRI and NFAS support.

Use this supplement with the VCO/4K technical documentation set. If a topic is discussed in both the VCO/4K technical documentation set and this supplement, refer to this supplement.

Audience

This guide is intended for all personnel with system administrator privileges and responsible for configuring and maintaining ISDN services. You should be familiar with the components of the switch as well as the system administrator master console. The master console is your access to the system administration functions.

When navigating the system administration menus and screens, you will be directed to use certain command actions such as keyboard entries. These command actions are frequently used throughout this manual. Refer to the Cisco VCO/4K System Administrator's Guide for more information.

Certain on-screen commands are available throughout the system administration software. These commands appear in the lower right corner of the screen, and provide visual instruction or direction.

Obtaining Technical Assistance

For all customers, partners, resellers, and distributors who hold valid Cisco service contracts, the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) provides 24-hour-a-day, award-winning technical support services, online and over the phone. Cisco.com features the Cisco TAC website as an online starting point for technical assistance. If you do not hold a valid Cisco service contract, please contact your reseller.

Cisco TAC Website

The Cisco TAC website provides online documents and tools for troubleshooting and resolving technical issues with Cisco products and technologies. The Cisco TAC website is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The Cisco TAC website is located at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/tac

Accessing all the tools on the Cisco TAC website requires a Cisco.com user ID and password. If you have a valid service contract but do not have a login ID or password, register at this URL:

Opening a TAC Case

Using the online TAC Case Open Tool is the fastest way to open P3 and P4 cases. (P3 and P4 cases are those in which your network is minimally impaired or for which you require product information.) After you describe your situation, the TAC Case Open Tool automatically recommends resources for an immediate solution. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your case will be assigned to a Cisco TAC engineer. The online TAC Case Open Tool is located at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/tac/caseopen

For P1 or P2 cases (P1 and P2 cases are those in which your production network is down or severely degraded) or if you do not have Internet access, contact Cisco TAC by telephone. Cisco TAC engineers are assigned immediately to P1 and P2 cases to help keep your business operations running smoothly.

To open a case by telephone, use one of the following numbers:

Asia-Pacific: +61 2 8446 7411 (Australia: 1 800 805 227)
EMEA: +32 2 704 55 55
USA: 1 800 553-2447

TAC Case Priority Definitions

To ensure that all cases are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established case priority definitions.

Priority 1 (P1)—Your network is "down" or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.

Priority 2 (P2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operation are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.

Priority 3 (P3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.

Priority 4 (P4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.

Information about Cisco products, technologies, and network solutions is available from various online and printed sources.
