NAME

6       isdn_cause - Description of ISDN cause messages.
7

DESCRIPTION

9       This  document describes the cause messages, used with the ISDN D-chan‐
10       nel protocols EDSS1 and 1TR6 and their format, visible to the user.
11

FORMAT

13       Cause messages are 2-byte information elements,  describing  the  state
14       transitions  of an ISDN line. Each cause message describes its origina‐
15       tion (location) in one byte, while the cause code is described  in  the
16       other byte. Internally, when EDSS1 is used, the first byte contains the
17       location while the second byte contains  the  cause  code.  When  using
18       1TR6,  the  first  byte  contains  the cause code while the location is
19       coded in the second byte. In the Linux ISDN subsystem, the  cause  mes‐
20       sages visible to the user are unified to avoid confusion. All user vis‐
21       ible cause messages are displayed as hexadecimal strings. These strings
22       always  have  the location coded in the first byte, regardless if using
23       1TR6 or EDSS1. When using EDSS1, these strings  are  preceeded  by  the
24       character 'E'.
