NAME

       isdn_cause - Description of ISDN cause messages.

DESCRIPTION

       This document describes the cause messages, used with the ISDN D-channel protocols EDSS1 and 1TR6 and their format, visible to the user.

FORMAT

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