GENERAL
INFORMATION
GENERAL:
for reproduction of additional bulletins.
The new software will be released for the CiG4 unit to provide the functionality for ISDN communication.
This bulletin will clarify the new switches and their software version.
NOTE: A software version that enables each switch is described in the “NOTE” column. Otherwise,
functions are available from the first production of the G4 unit for the above machines.
Release dates:
Version 0B: November 1997
Version 0F: March 2000
!WARNING
Do not adjust a bit switch that is described as "Not used", as this may cause the machine
to malfunction or to operate in a manner that is not accepted by local regulations.
Important:
In the CiG4 unit, after changing any of the bit switches, turn off the machine, wait for 5 seconds or longer,
and turn it back on, so that the new settings take effect.

0 1 1 Not used machine receives most of the calls because the
response time to a call is faster than the K200.
1 If the customer wants the K200 to receive most of
the calls, adjust the response time using these
bits.
If the customer does not want one machine to
receive most of the calls, use sub-addresses to
identify each terminal.
Action when receiving [SETUP] Normally, the 3rd octet of called party sub-
signal containing user-specific address information in the [SETUP] signal is set to
called party sub-address NSAP. However, some networks may add “user-
0: Ignores the call specific” sub-address to the [SETUP] signal, and

Bit Switch 17
FUNCTION COMMENTS NOTE
Condition for fallback from G4 to G3
Bits 0 to 6 of bit switch 17 contain a CPS code, and bits 0 to 6 of bit switch 18 contain
another CPS code. If a CPS code is received which is the same as either of these,
communication will fall back from ISDN G4 mode to ISDN G3 mode.
The CPS codes must be the same as those specified in table 4-13 of CCITT
recommendation Q.931.

Examples: Bit 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
1 0 0 0 0 0 1 CPS code 65
1 0 1 1 0 0 0 CPS code 88
For the codes in bits 0 to 6 of bit switches 17 and 18 to be recognized, bit 7 of bit
switch 17 must be 1. Also, bit 0 of the Communication Switch 07 must be at 0, or
Fallback from G4 to G3 will be disabled.
This bit determines whether fallback from G4 to G3 occurs on receipt of one of the
CPS codes programmed in bit switch 17 or 18, or on receipt of a certain standard code.
0: Fallback occurs on receipt of any of the following CPS codes:
Universal (Euro ISDN) - #3, #18, #57, #58, # 63, # 65, #79, #88, and #127
7
Germany 1TR6 mode - #3, #53, #58, and #90
Others - #3, #65, and #88
1: Fallback from G4 to G3 occurs on receipt any of above CPS codes or one of the
CPS codes programmed in bit switch 17, 18, 1A, 1B, or 1C

FUNCTION COMMENTS NOTE

0-6
See the explanation for bits 0 to 6 of bit switch 17
This bit helps to choose the CPS code set for G4 to G3 fallback.
0: Fallback occurs on receipt of the CPS code set which is specified by the country
code setting.
7 1: Fallback occurs on receipt of the Universal CPS code set (#3, #18, #57, #58, # 63, #
65, #79, #88, and #127) even if another country code is programmed.
If bit switch 17 bit 7 is “1”, fallback occurs on receipt of the Universal CPS code set or
one of the CPS codes programmed in bit switches 17, 18, 1A, 1B, or 1C.
G4 to G3 fallback
Bit 0 of Communication Switch 07 must be at 0, or fallback from G4 to G3 will be disabled.
The CPS codes for which fallback occurs are decided as follows.
• G4 bit switch 17, bit 7 - If set to “0”, fallback occurs on receipt of a code from a set that depends on the
country code. If set to ”1”, fallback occurs for the 5 CPS codes programmed in bits 0 to 6 of G4 bit
switches 17, 18, 1A, 1B, and 1C, in addition to the country code set.

Signal attenuation level for G3 fax signals received from ISDN line.
If an analog signal comes over an digital line, the signal level after decoding by the TE
is theoretically the same as the level at the entrance to the digital line. However, this
sometimes causes the received signal level to be too high at the received end. In this
case, adjust the decoded signal's attenuation level using these switches.
The values in the “Codec” column below show the attenuation level at the G4 interface
board. The values in the “Modem” column show the actual attenuation level at the
modem, because the signal is attenuated again on the MFCE by -6dB.
