Subject: 8. Can I use a digital (ISDN) phone and a Pipeline 50/50HX on the same BRI?

You need to be using an external NT1 (and the P-50-1SBRI model). If you have two SPIDs associated with your BRI, assign one to the P-50 and one to the ISDN phone. On a DMS-100 switch, this will leave you without the ability to use two channels.

Joe Huber mentions that since software version 4.3C:
