1The AVM ISDN-Controller B1PCIv4.0

The AVM ISDN-Controller B1 PCI v4.0 is an active ISDN-Controller, which means that the controller is equipped with its own processor. It processes both B channels of an ISDN basic rate interface at the same time (2 x 64,000 Bit/s). It owes this extraordinary power to the Strong T Multitasking RISC Processor (50 MIPS), which makes this ISDN-Controller the ideal platform for software applications with high demands on system stability and data throughput. No additional burdens are placed on the main memory and processor of your computer by ISDN-based communication tasks.

Computer with AVM ISDN-Controller B1 PCI v4.0

As the above figure shows, the ISDN-Controller is simply plugged into a free slot on the PCI bus. The ISDN-Controller is connected to the ISDN line over the S controller. This interface is connected to the ISDN line using

The Driver Software of the ISDN-Controller B1 PCI v4.0

1.1 The Driver Software of the ISDN-Controller

B1 PCI v4.0

The driver software takes control of the communications processes and data transmission.

The driver software is loaded to the ISDN-Controller from the hard disk. This procedure ensures that the driver software can be updated quickly and easily at any time.

The driver software can compress data according to the V.42bis standard. For more information about automatic data compression, see the section “CAPI SoftCompression X75/V42bis” from page 71.

The driver software also supports the analog Fax G3 service. For details, see the section “CAPI SoftFax” from page 72.

CAPI (COMMON-ISDN-API)

The driver software for the ISDN-Controller B1 PCI v4.0 provides the industry standard CAPI 2.0 applications interface on your computer. This interface specified by the international standardization organization ETSI guarantees the universal exchangeability of ISDN applications for the use of data, fax and speech transmission. This interface allows the ISDN-Controller B1 PCI v4.0 to be used with a wide range of CAPI 2.0-based ISDN applications.

For more information about CAPI 2.0, see the section “The CAPI 2.0 Application Interface” from page 66.

Protocols Supported

The driver software supports the international D-channel protocol DSS1 (Euro ISDN) as well as the national protocols 5ESS, NI1 and 1TR6.

The drivers for the various D-channel protocols are included in the software package. Current drivers may be downloaded from the AVM Data Call Center (ADC) or from the Internet. See the section “Product Documentation” from page 82 for information about how to reach the ADC or AVM’s Internet site.

48 ISDN-Controller B1 PCI v4.0 – 10 Installation in Novell NetWare 6.x, 5.x, 4.x and

11 Installation in Linux

The ISDN-Controller B1 PCI v4.0 can be used with all current Linux distributions. For the SUSE Linux distributions, precompiled drivers are included in the software package. In versions SUSE Linux 8.2 or higher, a CAPI4Linux driver is already integrated in the operating system. Installation for these distributions is described in this manual.

The pre-compiled driver software directly supports the INTEL i386 platform. The drivers must be re-generated and compiled to be used in other distributions or kernel versions, on other CPU platforms or on a multi-processor system. Tips about generating the source code are included in the SRC directory created by extracting the respective TAR archive.

Installation in Linux

The driver software supports up to four active AVM ISDN Controllers installed in one system. For details, see the section “Installing Additional Controllers” on page 55.

The ISDN-Controller B1 PCI v4.0 is designed for operation on a point-to-multipoint line, but can also be used on a point-to-point line. For further details see “The ISDN-Controller B1 PCI v4.0 on Point-to-Point Lines” from page 60.

CAPI4Linux

The CAPI 2.0 standard for Linux makes it possible to develop applications and drivers that can run on any ISDN-Controller with a compatible CAPI 2.0 driver. The CAPI4Linux software package is based on this standard.

Information on CAPI can be found in the section “The CAPI 2.0 Application Interface” from page 66.

With CAPI4Linux you can use the entire range of ISDN services like Internet access, Remote Access Service, telephony, Fax G3 and file transfer over a standardized applications interface CAPI with corresponding applications.

ISDN-Controller B1 PCI v4.0 – 11 Installation in Linux 49

CAPI4Linux

The CAPI4Linux software package consists of:

 CAPI 2.0 driver

 a CAPI plug-in: an adaptation (CAPI plug-in) of the “Ge-

neric PPP” stack (pppd = Point-to-Point Daemon) to allow the use of Internet applications like web browsers and FTP clients

 CAPI 2.0 interface for the popular Fax G3 application

“HylaFAX” (CAPI4HylaFAX)

 AVM Software Development Kit (SDK): a tool and

resources for developing CAPI 2.0-compatible applications

For more information about the CAPI plug-in for the Generic PPP stack (pppd), see the INSTALL_ACTIVE-E.HTML file (SUSE 8.0 or higher) or the INSTALL_ACTIVE.EN file (up to SUSE 8.0) and the relevant Unix manual page after extracting the archive. Open this manual page by entering man capiplugin at the system console.

Documentation on the supplementary components of the CAPI4Linux package like CAPI4HylaFAX and the AVM Software Development Kit (SDK) are located as README files in the corresponding tar archives on the installation CD.

Architecture of CAPI4Linux

50 ISDN-Controller B1 PCI v4.0 – 11 Installation in Linux

SUSE Linux

To simplify installation, AVM provides pre-compiled driver archives for SUSE Linux 6.3 and higher. In versions SUSE Linux 8.1 or higher, a CAPI4Linux driver is already integrated in the operating system.

Other Distributions

The ISDN-Controller B1 PCI v4.0 can be used with all other current Linux distributions.

Installation in other distributions or kernel versions must be adapted individually depending on the components used. All driver components required for integration into other software distributions or kernel versions, including the source code and short instructions, are supplied in the SRC directory of the corresponding tar archive. Since the binary-only modules contained in the drivers (for instance b1.t4) are kernel-independent, they do not execute any direct kernel calls. This means that they can be integrated into any Linux kernel.

The ISDN4Linux package is not required for the installation of CAPI4Linux.

For information about parallel operation of ISDN4Linux and CAPI4Linux, see the “Service” section on the AVM Internet pages:

www.avm.de/en/service/FAQs

and the AVM Data Call Center (ADC).

11.1 Installation in Linux

SUSE Linux

In versions SUSE Linux 8.2 or higher, a CAPI4Linux driver is already integrated in the operating system. For older SUSE versions, information is provided in the documentation on the installation CD, in the tar archive of the corresponding SUSE version.

ISDN-Controller B1 PCI v4.0 – 11 Installation in Linux 51

Installation in Linux

Once the ISDN-Controller B1 PCI v4.0 has been physically installed in your computer, the next step is to install the ISDN-Controller using YaST. Once installation has been completed, CAPI 2.0 applications can be started immediately. The first step we recommend is to use the CAPI Plugin for the Generic PPP Stack (pppd) to establish a test connection to the AVM Data Call Center (ADC).

Other Linux Distributions

To install the driver software in other Linux distributions, follow these instructions:

The CAPI modules are part of the standard Linux kernel and can be generated using it as long as the correct settings are made in the kernel configuration. In order to be able to use the ISDN-Controller B1 PCI v4.0, the kernel modules “capi.ko”, “kernelcapi.ko” and “capifs.ko” are required. The source text for these modules is part of the Linux kernel (in the directory /usr/src/linux/drivers/isdn/capi) and will be translated with this kernel if the following settings are made in the kernel configuration:

CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y

CONFIG_ISDN_CAPI=m

CONFIG_ISDN_DRV_AVMB1_VERBOSE_REASON=y

CONFIG_ISDN_CAPI_MIDDLEWARE=y

CONFIG_ISDN_CAPI_CAPI20=m

CONFIG_ISDN_CAPI_CAPIFS_BOOL=y

CONFIG_ISDN_CAPI_CAPIFS=m

CONFIG_ISDN_CAPI_CAPIDRV=m

After “make menuconfig”, switch to “Device Drivers”, “ISDN subsystem” and select:

...

<M> CAPI2.0 support

[*] Verbose reason code reporting (kernel size +=7K)

52 ISDN-Controller B1 PCI v4.0 – 11 Installation in Linux

Installation in Linux

[*] CAPI2.0 Middleware support (EXPERIMENTAL)

<M> CAPI2.0 /dev/capi support

[*] CAPI2.0 filesystem support

<M> CAPI2.0 capidrv interface support

...

In the “Code maturity level options” menu, also enable the option “Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers”.

Once the kerne has been compiled, all CAPI modules will be located in the directory:

/lib/modules/'uname -r'/kernel/drivers/isdn/capi/

The CAPI tools and libraries can be obtained from the capi4k-utils package (in the file capi4k-utils-XXXX-YYZZ.tar.gz on ftp://ftp.in-berlin.de/pub/capi4linux/).

Detailed instructions on the capi4k-utils package can be found in the README file, which is also located in the above-mentioned directory.

The completed translations of the modules are copied by the installation routine to the system directory

/lib/modules/'uname -r'/extra [kernel 2.6]

/lib/modules/'uname -r'/kernel/drivers/isdn/avmb1 [kernel 2.4]

and loaded by the CAPI tool “capiinit”. This tool expects to find information about which ISDN-Controller or which ISDN-Controller driver should be loaded in the /ETC/CAPI.CONF file. An example of the structure of the /ETC/CAPI.CONF file can be taken directly from the capi4kutils package.

Please download the most current firmware for the active AVM ISDN-Controller from the following address:

ftp://ftp.in-berlin.de/pub/capi4linux/firmware/

ISDN-Controller B1 PCI v4.0 – 11 Installation in Linux 53

Testing the Installation

11.2 Testing the Installation

At the end of the installation, perform a PING test to check whether the software has been installed correctly. For this purpose a test connection to the AVM Data Call Center (ADC) in Berlin is established over the “pppd” module. This test simulates dialing in to any ISP (Internet Service Provider) using PPP sync in accordance with RFC 1618 over HDLC. The necessary parameters for the test connection are predefined in the “AVM” dialing script.

Version ppp-2.3.11-24 or higher of the Generic PPP Stack (pppd) is required for Internet access. These versions are included in all operating system packages from SUSE 6.4.

Proceed as follows to establish a test connection:

1. Start a console (command prompt).

2. Establish a pppd connection with the following command:

pppd call isdn/avm usepeerdns

For extensions with outside dialing access “0”, use the following command:

pppd call isdn/avm numberprefix 0 usepeerdns

Once the test connection has been established, the output window contains the PING transit time to the AVM server over your ISDN-Controller. This means that installation was successful.

Now you can start a web browser and access the AVM home page. Enter www.avm.de/en.

Pre-defined scripts for dialing into different Internet Service Providers over the console are included in the AVM software package.

54 ISDN-Controller B1 PCI v4.0 – 11 Installation in Linux

Installing Additional Controllers

11.3 Installing Additional Controllers

Up to four active AVM ISDN-Controllers can be installed in your computer. Active AVM ISDN-Controllers for the ISA, PCI and PCMCIA buses can also be combined in the same system. It is not possible to use active and passive AVM ISDNControllers (like FRITZ!Card PCI) at the same time. If you would like to use an AVM DSL-Controller in addition to ISDN-Controller B1 PCI v4.0, the AVM DSL-Controller must be installed last.

To install an additional active AVM ISDN-Controller, simply perform the installation for the desired controller again. An individual configuration (D-channel protocol and line type) can be assigned to each ISDN-Controller.

If using the ISDN-Controller B1 PCI v4.0 with the AVM ISDNController C4, note that the ISDN-Controller C4 consists of four separate logical ISDN-Controllers (numbers 1 through

4). This means that whenever the ISDN-Controller B1 PCI v4.0 is installed in a system with an ISDNController C4, the ISDN-Controller B1 PCI v4.0 is addressed by the CAPI applications (like CAPI4HylaFAX) as CAPI controller number 5.

Only CAPI applications which can be configured for multiple ISDN-Controllers can be used. The CAPI4HylaFAX module and the CAPI plug-in allow configuration for multiple controllers.

Connecting to an Internal PBX Bus

13.2 Connecting to an Internal PBX Bus

The ISDN-Controller B1 PCI v4.0 can be operated smoothly on internal S CAPI 2.0 drivers supplied with the software support the Dchannel protocols DSS1 (Euro-ISDN), NI1, 5ESS and 1TR6.

Note the following for operation at an internal bus of a PBX:

buses of telecommunications PBXs. The

 The D-channel protocol of the PBX at the internal S

bus must be the same as the one selected during the ISDN-Controller installation.

 A number of PBXs require that the ISDN terminal de-

vice (the ISDN-Controller, for example) signal a certain MSN for outgoing calls. This MSN is generally the internal extension number rather than the (collective) number of the PBX. For details, see your PBX manual. If this MSN is not signaled or is signaled incorrectly, it is not possible to establish a connection over the PBX. The MSN signaled for outgoing calls is always configured directly in the CAPI 2.0 application (such as FRITZ!) rather than in the CAPI 2.0 driver. This is also the case for the system drivers of the AVM Middleware product series, such as the NDIS WAN CAPI Driver or the CAPI Port Driver. Here the outgoing MSN must also be configured directly in the system drivers.

In many cases charge-calculation software provided by the PBX manufacturers is also dependent on the signaling of the correct MSN by the ISDN terminal device.

AVM System Architecture

14 AVM System Architecture

This chapter presents information about the ISDN interface CAPI 2.0, the IDM architecture and the AVM system drivers included in the package, along with special CAPI features of the ISDN-Controller B1 PCI v4.0.

14.1 The CAPI 2.0 Application Interface

After the ISDN-Controller B1 PCI v4.0 has been installed, the ISDN interface CAPI 2.0 is available to the computer. This interface allows you to use all features of ISDN.

What Is CAPI?

CAPI (COMMON-ISDN-API) is a standardized software interface that provides applications with access to ISDN adapters on basic-rate and primary-rate lines. Applications that build on this standard interface use uniform mechanisms for communication over ISDN connections, and thus do not need to adapt to the peculiarities of particular manufacturers’ hardware. This means that such applications are also unaffected by future extensions or hardware modifications: CAPI makes such changes transparent to the application. ISDN hardware manufacturers benefit from this standard too, since it makes all kinds of applications compatible with their products.

CAPI contains an abstract definition of ISDN services which is not dependent on the specifics of underlying telecommunications networks or the adapters used to connect computers to ISDN. The specification provides an interface that is easy for applications to use, and thus offers uniform access to the various ISDN services, such as data, voice and fax transmission, video conferencing and telephony.

66 ISDN-Controller B1 PCI v4.0 – 14 AVM System Architecture

Benefits of CAPI

CAPI has evolved into an internationally recognized standard. Important for this are the many advantages this uniform interface offers: independence from specific manufacturers and resulting high investment security, a wide variety of compatible applications for various operating systems and ISDN protocols, etc. ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) is becoming attractive for more and more telecommunications users since it affords fast and reliable transfer of information in many different forms.

This CAPI 2.0 version has all the advantages of an open interface, and covers most of the ISDN features. Since the CAPI interface handles most ISDN subscriber interface control functions, these no longer have to be programmed. This simplifies the development of ISDN applications. Furthermore, applications no longer have to be tailored to national or manufacturer-specific systems, so that a greater variety of applications is available.

For more information about the CAPI applications interface, see the CAPI Association’s Internet site:

www.capi.org

Features of CAPI

CAPI offers a number of important features:

 Support for basic call features such as establishing

and clearing a connection

 Multiple B channel for data and/or voice connections

 Support for multiple logical data connections within a

single physical connection

 Selection of specific services and protocols on dialing

and in answering incoming calls

 Transparent interface for protocols above OSI Layer 3

 Support for one or several BRIs and PRIs through one

or several ISDN adapters

 Support for multiple concurrent applications

14.2 IDM Architecture

The ISDN Driver Model (IDM) shows how ISDN is integrated in Microsoft operating systems.

ISDN driver model (IDM)

The ISDN Driver Model is the framework for all driver components of AVM ISDN products. The IDM describes how ISDN services are integrated and how they are accessed by applications. It also defines the transparent integration of ISDN hardware resources in the operating system.

One of the most important features: the IDM enables is the coupling of existing communication components (such as RAS) with CAPI-based hardware. This connection is realized by the AVM system drivers such as the AVM CAPI Port Driver or the AVM NDIS WAN CAPI Driver.

68 ISDN-Controller B1 PCI v4.0 – 14 AVM System Architecture

This architecture permits the simultaneous use of CAPI, modem and networking applications over ISDN. Most importantly, it also permits the definition and implementation of new, extended capabilities. Examples to date include the incorporation of V.42bis data compression and Group 3 Fax.

14.3 The AVM System Drivers

AVM provides two system drivers with similar capabilities: the AVM ISDN CAPI Port Driver and the AVM NDIS WAN CAPI Driver. Both drivers are controlled over Dial-Up Networking, but use different mechanisms and interfaces and different protocols in the operating system. These drivers achieve the same transfer speeds in data communications.

The ISDN CAPI Port Driver and the NDIS WAN CAPI Driver can be installed and operated on the same computer if desired.

The AVM System Drivers

The AVM system drivers allow you to use CAPI-based ISDN applications, alongside communications programs that do not have built-in CAPI support, such as Windows’ Dial-Up Networking.

The third AVM system driver, AVM ISDN TAPI Services, permits the use of telephony applications with the ISDN-Controller B1 PCI v4.0 in the Windows 7, Vista, XP, and 2000 operating systems.

The AVM system drivers are located in the PROGRAMS folder on the installation CD. The latest versions are also available for downloading from the AVM Data Call Center or from AVM’s FTP server on the Internet.

For a detailed description of each driver’s functions, please see the HELP file in the corresponding folder. The HELP file also contains complete installation instructions.

ISDN-Controller B1 PCI v4.0 – 14 AVM System Architecture 69

AVM ISDN CAPI Port Driver

The AVM ISDN CAPI Port Driver allows you to use an ISDNController as if it were a modem.

The AVM ISDN CAPI Port Driver makes it possible for even programs designed for analog modems to communicate over the ISDN interface. This means that all of the various communications options of Windows can be used with all AVM ISDN-Controllers. For example, you can use Dial-Up Networking and the TCP/IP protocol to dial into your Internet Service Provider.

A number of different “virtual modems” preset for a variety of purposes can be selected in Windows applications such as Dial-Up Networking, Microsoft Exchange/Outlook and Microsoft Money. Just select a pre-configured destination to launch ISDN communication.

AVM ISDN NDIS WAN CAPI Driver

The AVM ISDN NDIS WAN CAPI Driver for Windows allows use of RAS (Remote Access Service) and dialing into Internet Service Providers over ISDN.

NDIS (Network Device Interface Specification) is a standard for connecting network adapters (hardware) to network protocols (software). NDIS WAN is a Microsoft extension of this standard for wide-area networking (WAN). The AVM ISDN NDIS WAN CAPI Driver thus allows the ISDN-Controller to be used as a network adapter addressed over the CAPI 2.0 applications interface.

Unlike the AVM ISDN CAPI Port Driver, the AVM NDIS WAN CAPI driver cannot be controlled by AT commands. It uses the standard protocols for network connections over ISDN (“HDLC” and “PPP over ISDN”).

70 ISDN-Controller B1 PCI v4.0 – 14 AVM System Architecture

AVM ISDN TAPI Services for CAPI

AVM ISDN TAPI Services for CAPI are drivers which can be used to implement TAPI applications with AVM ISDN-Controllers universally in Windows.

TAPI (Telephony Application Programming Interface) is a telephony interface by Microsoft which allows telephony programs to be controlled from within the Windows operating system. Using AVM ISDN TAPI Services for CAPI, phone calls can be made or voice-mail systems controlled on the computer. For instance, Windows’s “Phone Dialer” can be used to establish connections to analog or ISDN phones. The conversation then takes place using a sound card and a headset or speakers and a microphone. Suitable TAPI applications can make use of numerous other features, such as direct telephone dialing to communication partners listed in programs such as Microsoft Outlook 2010/2007. In the operating systems Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP, MS Fax service may also be used. Please read the relevant sections in the Online Help for instructions.

TAPI applications based on the Microsoft standard TAPI 2.1 or higher can be used in combination with AVM ISDN-Controllers and the AVM ISDN TAPI Services for CAPI.

14.4 CAPI SoftCompression X75/V42bis

CAPI SoftCompression X75/V42bis is a feature of the ISDNController B1 PCI v4.0 driver software. The ISDN-Controller can perform data compression in accordance with the V.42bis standard. This reduces transfer times and connection costs.

When the driver software is installed, CAPI SoftCompression X.75/V.42bis is activated by default. Upon request by CAPI applications that support the V.42bis standard, data compression is negotiated with the remote system for the duration of a connection.

If you use older ISDN applications that do not support this method of data compression, you have the option of enabling data compression directly in the driver software of the ISDN-Controller B1 PCI v4.0. This switches on data

ISDN-Controller B1 PCI v4.0 – 14 AVM System Architecture 71

CAPI SoftFax

compression for all ISDN connections so that the controller will attempt to negotiate V.42bis data compression with the remote site for all X.75 connections, independent of the CAPI application. If the remote site does not perform data compression, the data will be transmitted without compression. This process takes place in the background and is not apparent to the user.

The “Changing the Settings” sections for each operating system describes how to enable or disable V.42 data compression after installation. For Novell NetWare, this information is contained in the sections “Configuring the ISDNController B1 PCI v4.0 with Stand-Alone CAPI” on page 45 and “Operation of the ISDN-Controller B1 PCI v4.0 with CAPI for the CAPI Manager” from page 46.

If your computer does not meet the hardware requirements or if unexpected problems arise during data exchange with remote sites without V.42 capability, it is advisable to disable data compression in both the driver and the application.

If you have problems establishing a connection, try disabling data compression.

14.5 CAPI SoftFax

The CAPI SoftFax feature allows the ISDN-Controller to send and receive faces on two B channels simultaneously at up to 14.4 kbit/s. The ISDN-Controller B1 PCI v4.0 sends and receives like a G3 fax device.

The following fax protocols are supported:

 V.17 (14.4 kbit/s)

 V.29 (9.6 k bi t/s)

 ECM (Error Correction Mode)

 MR/MMR (2D compression)

Troubleshooting

16 Troubleshooting

This chapter describes general malfunctions and specific error messages, and suggests remedies. The error messages are grouped according to the operating systems in which the ISDN-Controller B1 PCI v4.0 can be operated.

16.1 General Malfunctions

The AVM ISDN-Controller is not detected or not initialized.

Have you installed new hardware components or changed the configuration of existing hardware?

If you combine adapters without plug-and-play support (Legacy) such as the AVM ISDN-Controller B1 v3.0 in the same system with PCI or ISA plug-and-play cards, the resources (I/O addresses and IRQ levels) used by the hardware without plug-and-play support should be so designated in the computer’s BIOS. Otherwise, system resources may be allocated to more than one adapter, resulting in malfunctions. Please see your computer or mainboard manual.

You are unable to establish an ISDN connection.

If the ISDN-Controller is correctly installed but you are unable to establish a connection, check for the following conditions:

 Is the ISDN-Controller firmly inserted in the PCI slot? Is

its slot plate screwed down?

 Are the ISDN cable connectors firmly connected to the

ISDN-Controller and the ISDN socket?

 Is your ISDN line active? Use another terminal device,

such as an ISDN telephone, to check it.

 Is your network terminator (NT) installed correctly?

Some NTs must be connected to an electricity supply as well as to the incoming ISDN line.

76 ISDN-Controller B1 PCI v4.0 – 16 Troubleshooting

General Malfunctions



If your ISDN-Controller is connected to a point-to-point line, have you included the outside dialing prefix (usually “0”) in the numbers dialed?

 Are all the pertinent services (for data connections)

available and enabled at your PBX?

 Did you specify the correct D-channel protocol for your

ISDN line when installing the ISDN-Controller software? Lines installed in Europe after 1994 are generally DSS1 lines (Euro-ISDN lines).

Problems during operation of the ISDN-Controller.

If problems with operation of the ISDN-Controller occur, establish a test connection to the AVM Data Call Center. You may do so using the program Connect32 (Windows 7, WindowsVista, WindowsXP), which is included in the AVM ISDN-Tools included with delivery of your ISDN-Controller. The ADC’s number is +49 (0)30 39 98 43 00.

In Windows2000, WindowsNT, Windows98, Windows95, Windows 3.x and MS-DOS, you can also run the “B1 Test” program located in the “AVM” program group and in the folder of the driver software on the installation CD. This program performs functional tests of the ISDN-Controller’s components and displays the results.

After you have run the diagnostic program “B1 Test”, the CAPI interface is no longer available (error message: COMMON-ISDN-API Version 2.0 is not installed).

Reload the ISDN-Controller B1 PCI v4.0 using the corresponding program for your operating system, e.g. IBASE.BAT in DOS or “B1 Load” in Windows 95/3.x.

Windows 2000: Restart the computer after performing the test program.

ISDN-Controller B1 PCI v4.0 – 16 Troubleshooting 77

General Malfunctions

Applications like Connect32 are unable to connect to analog dial-in ports.

Only connections to ISDN remote systems are possible with your ISDN-Controller. With appropriate software such as FRITZ!fax, for example, you can connect to Group 3 (analog) fax machines.

DOS and Windows drivers loaded at the same time

Load either the DOS driver or the Windows driver for your AVM ISDN-Controller, not both at once. The Windows driver also supports CAPI-based DOS applications in DOS windows.

No connection charge information is displayed

The drivers for the ISDN-Controller B1 PCI v4.0 allow CAPIbased applications to display charge information. This information is only available if the corresponding ISDN service has been enabled by your ISDN carrier. Depending on the ISDN carrier, it may be necessary to enable this service for each B channel separately (and pay an extra charge).

Using Dual-boot Systems

To use the ISDN-Controller in a dual-boot system, install the drivers for each of the operating systems concerned in different folders, such as IDRIVER.WXP and IDRIVER.W95k.
