Frequently, delivery of the calling (origin) number is an extra service from your service
provider that you have to pay for. This service is often called CLIP (Caller Line
Identification Presentation) or sometimes just CLI. See the section Managing Inbound
Calls for more information on this subject.
At the destination, an ISDN device capable of receiving the incoming call responds with an
ALERT message. An ALERT is sent to the originator of the call. This is just like the 'the
remote phone is ringing' tone in a conventional telephone call.
In the case of an ISDN telephone, an ALERT means that the device has started to ring to
alert the user to the incoming call.
When the device answers the call, it sends a CONN (connect) message to the network. A
CONN is then sent to the originator of the call who then acknowledges it with CONN_ACK.
At the end of this process, a B channel has been established between the two users and
data (which may, of course, represent voice or fax; or any other information) can flow
freely between them.
The picture below summarises the exchange of messages during call set up.
