| | Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) Overview |
 | | ISDN involves the digitization of the telephone network, which permits voice, data, text, graphics, music, video, and other source material to be transmitted over existing telephone wires. |
 | | ISDN physical layer (Layer 1) frame formats differ depending on whether the frame is outbound (from terminal to network) or inbound (from network to terminal). |
 | | ISDN runs on the bottom three layers of the OSI reference model, and each layer uses a different specification to transmit data. |
