Multiple Subscriber Number (MSN) 
 

Definition  
Multiple subscriber numbers (MSNs) are used to identify ISDN terminals connected to an S0 bus in the HiPath 3000 systems. MSN are 11 digits in length. They are entered in the DID number field in system administration.
You can assign each ISDN terminal one or two MSNs, depending on the application. A device requiring 64 Kbps of bandwidth must be assigned one MSN; a device requiring 128 Kbps of bandwidth must be assigned two MSNs. The call number associated with the MSN is dialed to reach the device during an internal data or voice transaction.

Dependencies/Restrictions

MSN  
MSNs are assigned in the DID number field for each ISDN terminal. This number is used as the internal SPID for the device.  
Primary Directory Number (PDN)  
The PDN associated with public network BRI link must be entered in the DID field for the ISDN terminal to initiate calls to the external network.  
MSN for internal use only  
Enter a seven-digit number not associated with the PDN in the DID field.  
External SPIDs  
The public network SPIDs for the ISDN links can be assigned to any station in the system.  
B channels  
The number of external data calls is limited to the number of B channels installed in the system.  
Access  
B channels are dedicated to the specific ISDN terminal and should be placed in a separate trunk group to ensure access if more than one BRI trunk is installed.  
MSN  
If the MSN for a Setup is missing or invalid, a default MSN appropriate to the situation is used. When a station number is specified that is already in use (optiPoint), the Setup is rejected. If an MSN is too long, a right-justified evaluation of the digits is performed.
