The serviceprovider gives you up to three sets of numbers for identifying the ISDN line and attached devices.You may be assigned none, one or two SPIDs or DNs and this varies by service provider andcountry.Phone Numbers — Numbers used for others to dial into the ISDN B channels on your ISDN line(similar to analog line phone numbers).Directory Numbers — Address assigned by the ISDN service provider for each device operatingon the line. This number can be similar to the phone number. The Directory Number is notgenerally implemented outside the U.S.Service Profile Identifications — SPIDs, also assigned by the ISDN service provider, identifythe services and features that the switch provides to the ISDN device. Commonly implemented inthe U.S. and Canada, the SPID is often derived from the directory number, combined in a serieswith other digits as shown in the example in Figure 4.
