Two B-channels used for standard pinging

Hi group,

I am facing something in ISDN which I have not encountered before. Each time I
ping the far end ISDN interface IP address, the second B channel will be set up
 by the remote router to send the echo-reply back to the originator of the ping
. I do not have load-threshold or ppp multilink configured in either routers bu
t I have setup ppp authentication chap and dialer maps. The switch-type used is
 basic-ni1 and it has spid1 and spid2 configured. The ISDN switch simulator doe
s not send calling number IE. The routers are IOS 12.1. Below is the BRI interf
ace configuration on both routers:

interface BRI0
 ip address 196.1.1.2 255.255.255.0
 encapsulation ppp
 dialer map ip 196.1.1.1 name R5 broadcast 8358661
 dialer-group 1
 isdn switch-type basic-ni
 isdn spid1 0835866201
 isdn spid2 0835866401
 ppp authentication chap

interface BRI0
 ip address 196.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
 encapsulation ppp
 dialer map ip 196.1.1.2 name R6 broadcast 8358662
 dialer-group 1
 isdn switch-type basic-ni
 isdn spid1 0835866101
 isdn spid2 0835866301
 isdn calling-number 8358661
 ppp authentication chap

Prevoiusly, I used to work with ISDN switch-type basic-net3 without spids. This
 switch does send calling number IE and the pinging uses only one B-channel.

>From the above, I deduce that the router uses the calling number to determine
whether to set up the second B-channel to echo-reply. Below is the BRI interfac
e of both routers.

Just need someone to verify.

Thanks
David
