DEEP TECH NOTE!
Amaze your technical friends with your voluminous knowledge of the Zephyr Xstream, ISDN,
and coding technology! Not necessary for the ability to install and use the Zephyr Xstream,
but this information might come in handy if you ever need to troubleshoot the system.

ZEPHYR CLASSIC VS XSTREAM COMPARISON!
These notes point out important differences between the original Zephyr and the Zephyr
Xstream Series. A wise man once said, “don’t make assumptions”. The Zephyr Xstream is
designed to be easily learned by Zephyr users. We will try to anticipate areas where the
differences might be confusing, and draw your attention to them.

ISDN TIP!
European & Japanese users should disregard all references to SPIDs. Euro ISDN &
Japanese ISDN do not have SPIDs! If your equipment configuration requires MSNs, they may
be entered in the MSN/DN menu options in the TEL menu. MSNs are optional, would only be
used if another ISDN device is sharing the ISDN circuit with the Zephyr Xstream.
