Configuring the QPRI 2921 Via the
NCM 2000 Craft Interface
ISDN Access
For ISDN functionality, the QPRI 2921 Craft interface must be
accessed from the NCM 2000 module. This may be done with a
direct cable connection from the NCM 2000 module front panel to
an ASCII terminal or PC running a terminal emulator program, or
using the NCM 2000’s Telnet capability.
To set up the dial-backup circuit feature, please see Chapter 2,
“Creating an ISDN Dial-Backup Circuit”.

package—to configure the QPRI module. For more information, see
