This book opens with theoretical introduction to the principles and functioning of an ISDN System. This is followed by practical aspects of ISDN, which form a bridge between fundamental principles of digital transmission and a practical understanding and use of an ISDN system. The structure and content of the book is aimed at newcomers to the subject of ISDN techniques, as well as the End-Users in an office or who in the course of their work, must apply this new technology. The central point of the practical work is the use of real equipment, which establishes a clear relationship between the theoretical concepts and practice.
