d PnP simultaneously processes both channels of a BRI or an ISDN access (2 x 64000 bits/s). Along with the small size, the “Plug and Play” functionality is a decisive advantage for you. It is no longer necessary to consider resources such as the I/ O address or interrupts because the operating system performs the configuration for the card automatically through its Plug and Play functionality (as in Windows 95 for example).

Functions of the driver software

The driver software with CAPI 2.0 processes the D channel protocols of the ISDN connection and makes all the requisite B channel protocols (X75, HDLC etc.) available to the applications. In addition, CAPI 2.0 offers the SoftCompression X75/V42bis, SoftModem and SoftFax performance features.

d PnP enables you to establish connections with various services and remote site. The basic principle for successful connections and transfer operations is: The other site must have a terminal device which is either of the same type or is compatible.

The current standards are listed in the following:

Internet

In order to dial an Internet Service Provider (ISP) using the Dial-Up Networking application of Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0, you use the PPP over ISDN protocol (synchronous PPP) with the ISDN AVM CAPI Port Driver or the AVM NDIS WAN CAPI Driver. For further information, please refer to Chapter 4 “Into the Internet with FRITZ!Card PnP”. Windows 3.x users are recommended to dial in through a 16-bit client of an online service provider. Further information about settings and applications can be obtained from your service provider.

Online services

In order to dial online services you require the access software for a service provider. Further information about installation and configuration of the application can be obtained from your service provider.

2. 4 FRITZ!Card PnP on the ISDN Connection

When your ISDN connection is installed, your ISDN network operator first installs a so-called network terminator (NT). A network terminator is equipped with two ISDN sockets. Each of these ISDN sockets is an external S0 interface.

II

In most cases, an ISDN PBX with analog extensions is connected to one ISDN socket and a digital terminal device is connected to the second ISDN socket. Existing analog terminal equipment such as telephones, cordless telephones, answering machines and Group 3 fax machines are connected to the extensions of the PBX. The connected devices are addressed by way of multiple subscriber numbers (MSN). Each ISDN connection has at least three MSNs. If you have connected your PBX to one of the ISDN sockets and your PC containing the

Fig. 2 Typical Configuration of an ISDN Multiple Connection

There are PBXs which offer digital as well as analog extensions. You can connect ISDN terminal devices to these digital

extensions. Digital extensions are also known as internal S0 interfaces. They are an alternative connection facility to external S0 interfaces.

Whether you connect your FRITZ!Card PnP to an internal or external S

0

interface - the ISDN terminal device is not the FRITZ!Card PnP but the ISDN software on your PC, such as the FRITZ! modules FRITZ!data, FRITZ!fax and FRITZ!vox for example.

All incoming calls from the ISDN are distinguished not only by their multiple subscriber number but also by their service indicator. No such differentiation takes place for calls coming in from the analog network, in which telephone calls and faxes share the service indicator “voice”. This is why it is important to specify which call is to be accepted with which MSN by which

• AVM ISDN CAPI Port Driver

• AVM NDIS WAN CAPI Driver

4.1 Concept of the AVM System Drivers in the MS Windows System

Windows 95 and Windows NT offer two communications models with similar functionality: ISDN CAPI Port Driver and NDIS WAN CAPI Driver. Both drivers are implemented in VxD technology as Windows system drivers and are addressed through the Dial-Up Networking application, but utilize different mechanisms and interfaces / protocols in the operating system. Basically the same transfer rates are attained in data communications with the two drivers. Both drivers can be installed in parallel on one system, if required.

The AVM system drivers make it possible for you to utilize communications programs (such as FRITZ!) via the Windows Dial-Up Networking application in parallel to CAPI-based ISDN software, for example for dialing in to the Internet (see functional diagram on page 11).

erer

er allows programs with a suitable interface (VCOM ”Modem”) to also use the communications interfaces of Windows 95 for ISDN.

When the ISDN CAPI Port Driver is installed, a number of “virtual modems” which can be accessed by suitable programs are set up in the operating system. These “modems” differ only by virtue of their preconfigured register settings. This means that in addition to Internet connections (modem: AVM ISDN Internet (PPP)), you can also establish connections with BBS systems (hyperterminal and modem AVM ISDN X.75) or fax machines (MS Exchange and modem AVM ISDN Fax G3). The special advantage of this idea is that the full functional diversity of CAPI continues to be supported. Thus, both special ISDN applications and also CAPI modems can work simultaneously in the send and receive directions on both B channels.

A full description of the functions of the AVM ISDN CAPI Port Driver along with detailed installation instructions may be found in the file CAPIPORT.HLP in the folder WINPORT\CAPIPOR T .W95 on the FRITZ!Card CD.

Y ou can define particular subscriber numbers for incoming and outgoing calls. In the case of the CAPI Port Drivers, you set these multiple subscriber numbers by means of AT commands. This setting is performed under Start > Settings > Control P anel > Modems > Connections > Settings > Advanced.

Set the subscriber number for outgoing calls by means of ATS49 = <subscriber number> and the subscriber number for incoming calls by means of ATS50 = <subscriber number>. Separate multiple entries by means of semicolons.

Specification and is a standard for interfacing network cards (hardware) to network protocols (software). NDIS WAN is a Microsoft extension of this standard in respect of wide area networking (WAN). The NDIS WAN CAPI Driver for ISDN thus permits the use of the ISDN controller as a WAN card, in which case the ISDN controller is addressed via the COMMON-ISDN-API (CAPI).

A full description of the functions of the A VM NDIS WAN CAPI Driver along with detailed installation instructions may be found for Windows 95 in the file NDIS_95.HLP in the folder WINPORT\NDISWAN .W95 and for Windows NT in the file NDIS_NT.HLP in the folder WINPORT \NDISWAN.WNT on the FRITZ!Card CD .

4.4 Requirements for Provider or Remote Site

For successful access to the Internet or for RAS connections, your provider or the remote site (in the case of RAS connections) should provide digital access and use the same protocol mechanisms as you.

In particular, the following requirements should be met:

• The provider / remote site must provide ISDN access.

• The access should support the “synchronous PPP” (Point to

Point Protocol) according to Standard RFC 1618 or “PPP asynchronous”.

• Registration with your provider can take place by checking

your telephone number and/or by PAP/CHAP authentication.

• Optional allocation of a static or dynamic Internet address (IP

address).

In order to keep your telephone costs low, you are best advised to look for a provider with a local point of presence.

4. 5 ISDN CAPI Port Driver or NDIS W AN CAPI Driver?

The deployment opportunities for the respective driver concept are described in detail in the associated documentation (HLP files).

The following recommendations for use with ISDN and Windows can be made to start with on the basis of a benefit-oriented comparison:

• For Internet providers offering PPP over ISDN (“synchronous

PPP” according to RFC 1618), both the ISDN CAPI Port Driver and the NDIS WAN CAPI Driver are suitable. You should ask your provider whether the PPP over ISDN protocol is supported.

• In the case of Internet providers not offering PPP over ISDN, it

is normally possible to dial in via the CAPI port modem “PPP asynchronous”. With the ISDN CAPI Port Driver, it is also possible to support “special solutions” by way of register settings. You should ask your Internet provider. On account of the system design, the NDIS WAN CAPI Driver does not offer this functionality.

• Both drivers are suitable for access to RAS servers.

• ”Non-Internet applications” such as MS Money 97 or terminal

programs for example can only be used via ISDN CAPI Port Drivers (status as of August 1998).
