What is SPID?
A. SPID, or “Service Profile Identifier” is a number issued by your telephone company. The SPID number is used to identify your ISDN line to switch in the central office. When you’re installing the system, the videoconferencing installation software prompts you for your SPID number. SPID numbers are provided by your ISDN provider (be sure to request your SPID number when you place your ISDN order). You’ll need to configure the SPID into your terminal before it will connect to the central office switch. When a new subscriber is added, the telephone company allocates a SPID just as they would a directory number.
