User’s Manual of netMod Network Termination Unit
INTRODUCTION
An Introduction to ISDN
ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) is a digital network capable of providing the
end user with high speed data, voice and image transmission at the same time. A way of
accessing the network, is by using the (Basic Rate Access or BRA or 2B+D)
communication protocol which supplies three channels to the subscriber. Two of these
channels are 64kbps channels (B-channels) used for the transmission of voice or / and
data, while the third one is a 16kbps channel (D-channel), used for signalling transmission
between the ISDN Exchange and the Network Termination NT1.
Figure 1: The basic rate access connection (BRA) between the subscriber and the
ISDN network
The connection of a subscriber terminal device to the network requires an intermediate
device, called Network Termination 1 or NT1. The device is installed at the subscriber
side and is connected to the ISDN Exchange via a simple 2-wire line, known as U-line
(Figure 1). The U-line transfers the digital signal that corresponds to the 2B+D channels.
Different types of terminal devices can be connected to the NT1 (ISDN or plain analogue
terminals). In order to cover up the different subscriber’s needs, INTRACOM offers the
following types of Network Termination units:
• netCon
• netCon+
• netMod

User’s Manual of netMod Network Termination Unit
netCon
netCon offers to the subscriber the possibility of connecting up to 8 ISDN terminal devices
to the ISDN network. The connection is via a 4-wire cable, known as the S-bus. netCon
has two RJ-45 jacks used for the connection of the ISDN terminal devices to the S-bus. Up
to 8 ISDN terminal devices can be connected as described in the paragraph “Connecting
an ISDN Device” on page 18.
netCon+
netCon+ besides offering the possibility of connecting ISDN terminal devices to the ISDN
network, also offers the possibility of connecting plain analogue devices (like analogue
telephones, FAX G3, analogue modems, etc.). The connection of plain analogue devices
is made via the two analogue ports (RJ11-jacks), while at the same time the connection of
up to 8 ISDN terminal devices is made via the two RJ-45 jacks of the S-bus (see
paragraphs “Connecting Analogue Devices” and “Connecting an ISDN Device”, on page
17 and 18 respectively).
netMod
netMod, besides offering the possibilities of connecting ISDN terminal devices and plain
analogue devices to the ISDN network, also offers the possibility of connecting a Personal
Computer (PC) to the Internet (or similar networks) without using any extra equipment.
The connection of up to 8 ISDN terminal devices is made via the S-bus, while the plain
analogue devices are connected through the two analogue ports and the Personal
Computer (PC) through the asynchronous serial port (RS232) or the USB port, (see
paragraphs “Connecting Analogue Devices”, “Connecting an ISDN Device” and
“Connecting a Personal Computer”, on pages 17, 18 and 19 respectively).

User’s Manual of netMod Network Termination Unit
The connection of NT1 type devices to the ISDN exchange and to the subscriber terminal
devices is shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2: Connections of NT1 type devices
Figure 2 clearly shows (shade levels) that netMod surpasses the potentiality of netCon+,
and netCon+ surpasses the potentiality of netCon.
