1.Welcome to the
Speedway!
The Speedway ISDN PCI Card is an internal PC card which enables fast data
communications to and from your PC via ISDN or BT Highway service.
You will be able to browse the Internet and download files, images and
programs at speeds unavailable via modems connected to the analogue
network. You can also access other remote sites that have both access to the
ISDN and compatible terminal equipment.
Your Speedway ISDN PCI Card can combine both ISDN channels to provide a
data speed of up to 128Kbps.
Note
The actual data speed obtained is dependent upon the data speed offered by
your Internet service provider or that of the remote site you connect to.
You can install the supplied software under Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000 and NT.
WELCOME
For further information, please refer to the relevant installation sections.
Also included is a suite of applications that form an integrated
communications package. These programs enable you to make the best use of
your Speedway ISDN PCI Card:
Speedway! data allows you to transfer data at high speed to and from other
PC users who have access to the ISDN and have a
compatible terminal adapter and software.

4.Typical Use
Examples
The Speedway ISDN PCI Card enables you to establish a wide range of
connections with various services and remote sites via ISDN. The basic
principle for successful remote connections and transfer operations is: the
remote site must have a terminal device, which is either of the same type or
compatible.
Here are some examples of how you can use your Speedway ISDN Card in
conjunction with the
Speedway! applications.
4.1 Internet
The Speedway ISDN PCI Card along with the virtual modems that you have
installed will provide fast communication to and from the Internet. You can
link your PCI Card software with your browser to provide ‘one-click’ access.
Further information about the settings and configuration can be obtained
from your Internet ser vice provider.
4.2 ISDN file transfer
Speedway! data provides a way of transferring data between two PCs at very
high speed. Just set one machine to server mode and another as a client and
you will be able to exchange files at up to 128Kbps. Speedway! data has the
capability of transferring this data with either Idtrans or Eurofile transfer
protocols. The use of data compression at both terminals will increase the
data speed considerably. The basic principle for successful remote
connections and transfer operations is: the remote site must have a terminal
device, which is either of the same type or compatible.
4.3 Fax
The user-friendly and practical Speedway! fax is the recommended PC fax
application. Our software is capable of communicating with fax devices using
TYPICAL USE EXAMPLES
19
the Group 3 fax standard (the normal analogue standard used over the
telephone network). This is achieved using fax emulation in conjunction with
the CAPI software. The user-friendly and practical Speedway! fax is the
recommended fax application. After installation of the BT ISDN CAPI Port
Driver, you can also send and receive faxes using the vir tual modem ISDN
FAX (G3) and fax applications that support CAPI 2.0. Other applications
offering CAPI 2.0 support can similarly be used.
4.4 Answering machine
The Speedway! answer ISDN answering machine allows you to automatically
answer and record incoming voice messages. It is supplied in order to use the
voice functions of your Speedway PCI Card. In addition to this, you can use
telephony software from other suppliers offering CAPI 2.0 support. Note that
it is necessary to have a compatible sound card and supporting software to
enable replay of the messages.
4.5 ISDN Telephone
The Speedway! phone ISDN telephone enables you to make voice calls via
your soundcard over your ISDN service. You will need a telephone headset
(and/or microphone and loudspeakers) and a full duplex soundcard in order
to use this facility. Please contact your soundcard supplier if you are in any
doubt about it’s compatibility.
TYPICAL USE EXAMPLES
4.6 BBS systems
Speedway! term will provide you with the facility for accessing BBS systems.
Hints & Tips
The Speedway! applications are supplied with on-line help files which you can
access via the applications themselves. This help function provides complete
instructions on how to set-up and use the applications effectively. You can also
print out topics from the help files if you find this easier.

5.Troubleshooting
& Support
Note
It is a good idea to view the Readme file on the CD for the latest product
information and installation advice.
5.1 No Connection to ISDN
If a problem is found in connecting to the ISDN (when using Dial-Up
connections, Speedway! fax etc.) check that the ISDN connection cable is
inserted correctly at both the Speedway PCI Card and the ISDN outlet socket.
Re-try the dial or connect command.
5.2 Failure to Connect to an Internet Service Provider
If the Speedway PCI Card fails to connect your Internet Ser vice Provider
(ISP) check the following:
TROUBLESHOOTING
• Your ISP supports ISDN connection.
• The telephone number that you are dialling is correct for connecting to
your service provider using ISDN.
• You are using the correct ‘Dial-Up networking connection’ you installed
with the PCI Card.
• Which protocols are supported by your ISP. It is possible that the ISP
recommends that the protocol used may be V.120 and asynchronous PPP.
If this is the case the Dial-Up networking connection may be configured as
follows:
1. Create a Dial-Up connection as described in Section 3.5 ‘Setting up
Internet Access’. Where the Select modem option is shown choose ISDN
Custom Config
2. Click on the Configure button. Select the tab Connection and click on
Advanced. Under Extra settings type in the characters ATS31=7; S51=0
.
21
(this should be typed exactly as shown). Click OK to confirm and click OK
again to close the window that is showing.
3. Click Next and enter the ISP telephone number. Click Next and then
Finish. The new icon for the connection will now be displayed.
4. Click with the right mouse button on the new icon and select Properties.
Click on the tab Server Types. In the drop down menu click on Type of
Dial-Up Server
, select the server recommended by your ISP (as an
example, CompuServe is likely to be CISPPP:PPP connection using
CompuServe Networks
). Click on OK.
This configuration is now available for Internet access.
Note
If you have any doubts about what protocols are used by your ISP; contact your
ISP directly for advice.
5.3 Failure to Connect to your ISP using 128Kbps
If you suspect that the Speedway PCI Card is only operating using 64Kbps
when you have configured the system to use both ISDN B channels
(e.g. Multilink PPP), please check the following:
• Your ISP supports MPPP, i.e. a simultaneous PPP connection over two
ISDN channels at 128 Kbps.
TROUBLESHOOTING
• If using Windows 95, make sure you have msdun13 installed.
• You have followed the instructions shown in Setting Up Internet Access at
128Kbps.
Hints & Tips
Because there is no direct visual feedback to the status of the connection it is
necessary to check by right-clicking your mouse on the Dial Connection icon at
the bottom right of your Windows screen. This will show Status and
Disconnect. Click on Status and the status screen will show. The number
of devices should read 2, if this is not the case the connection is not running
at 128Kbps.
22
5.4 Other Fax Applications Fail to Work
The Speedway! fax software is especially designed to work with an ISDN
connection. When it communicates with a G3 analogue fax, the software
converts the fax data into digital signals that correspond to an analogue fax
transmission over ISDN. Other applications, such as MS Exchange and
Delrina WinFax implement the data conversion. Please check with your
software vendor for suitability of your fax software.
5.5 Still not Working Properly?
Most problems are likely to be the result of incorrect installation and set up. If
you have followed the installation instructions exactly and the previous
solutions fail to correct the problem, as a last resort you should completely
un-install the Speedway! software and then install it again.
First un-install the software using the Windows
application (found in Control Panel). Then you should re-install the Speedway!
software as described in Section 3.4 ‘Installing the Speedway! Software’ and
the subsequent installation sections.

6.Technical
information
6.1 CAPI Drivers
These drivers enable the ISDN integration of operating system functions
under Windows Operating Systems. They also permit the use of Remote
Access Service (RAS) and allow you to connect your PC to the server of an
Internet ser vice provider by way of the TCP/IP stack and the Dial-Up
Networking application of Windows Operating Systems.
Windows Operating Systems 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 utilise
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.
The BT system drivers make it possible for you to utilise communications
programs (such as
application in parallel with CAPI-based ISDN software, for example for dialling
in to the Internet.
Speedway!) via the Windows Dial-Up Networking
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
The BT ISDN CAPI Port driver
The BT ISDN CAPI Port driver allows programs with a suitable interface
(VCOM/Modem) to also use the communications interfaces of Windows
for ISDN.
A full description of the functions of the BT ISDN CAPI Port Driver along
with detailed installation instructions may be found in the
in the respective Software\Capiport\Capiport.w folder for your Windows
Operating System.
CAPIPORT.HLP file
25
The BT NDIS WAN CAPI Driver
The BT NDIS WAN CAPI Driver permits the integration of the Windows
Operating Systems and the ISDN.
The BT NDIS WAN CAPI Driver permits the use of Remote Access Ser vices
(RAS) via ISDN. NDIS is the abbreviation for Network Device Interface
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-A.
A full description of the functions of the BT NDIS WAN CAPI Driver along
with detailed installation instructions may be found for Windows 95 in the file
NDIS_95.HLP in the folder Software\Ndiswan\Ndiswan.w95 on the CD.
Hints & Tips
It is a good idea to view the Readme file on the CD for the latest product
information and installation advice.
6.2 Internet Access
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.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
In particular, the following requirements should be met:
• The Internet ser vice provider/remote site must provide ISDN access.
• The access should support synchronous PPP (Point to Point Protocol).
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
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:
26
For Internet ser vice 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 Internet service provider
whether PPP over ISDN protocol is supported.
In the case of Internet ser vice 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 service
provider. Due to the system design, the NDIS WAN CAPI Driver does not
offer this functionality.
Both drivers are suitable for access to RAS servers and Non-Internet
applications such as MS Money 97 or terminal.
6.3 ISDN Information
The Speedway ISDN PCI Card may be connected to any suitable ISDN
termination. Typically this would be either ISDN2e or BT Highway. Network
Termination Equipment (NTE) will generally have two sockets available for
connection of the cable and either socket can be used.
Your ISDN service may have a number of MSNs (Multiple Subscriber
Numbers) associated and so it will be necessary during the installation phase
of the Speedway ISDN PCI Card to enter the MSN you require to operate with
your PCI Card.
All incoming calls from the ISDN are distinguished not only by their MSN but
also by their service indicator. No such differentiation takes place for calls
coming in from the analogue network, in which case voice, data and fax calls
share the same network service. This is why it is important to specify which
call is to be accepted with MSN by an application module or by an ISDN
telephone. Please refer to the
Speedway! online help for further details.
If you wish to receive faxes as well as data with the Speedway ISDN PCI Card,
you do not need to assign different Multiple Subscriber Numbers to these
applications because
Speedway! fax is responsible for calls with the voice
indicator and Speedway! data for calls with the data indicator. Speedway! fax
and Speedway! answer both use the same ser vice indicator (voice). However,
if you use Speedway! fax at the same time as Speedway! answer, you must
allocate different Multiple Subscriber Numbers to the two modules in order
that incoming calls can be assigned without ambiguity.

If in doubt about the features and functions of your ISDN service, please
contact your ISDN service provider.
