Configuring Data Line Backup and Remote Management
Through the ISDN S/T Port
This section contains the following topics:
• Configuring ISDN Settings, page 117
• Example, page 120
Cisco 3900 series routers can use the ISDN S/T port for remote management. Figure 2 and Figure 3
show two typical network configurations that provide remote management access and backup for the
primary WAN line.
Figure 2 shows a dial backup link that goes through a customer premises equipment (CPE) splitter, a
digital subscriber line access multiplexer (DSLAM), and a central office (CO) splitter before connecting
to the ISDN switch.
