Configuration and Diagnostics of the IBM International ISDN PC Card

10 Configuration and

Diagnostics of the IBM International ISDN PC Card

This chapter briefly describes how to change the D-channel protocol (also called the switch type), how to change MSNs, and how to diagnose problems with the adapter.

No diagnostics tool is available for Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP.

When you travel to another country outside Europe, it may be necessary to change the adapter’s D-channel protocol, also known as the switch type. The IBM International ISDN PC Card supports the following D-channel protocols:

• Euro-ISDN (DSS1)

• NI-1

• 5ESS

Euro-ISDN is used all over Europe, Australia and New Zealand. NI-1 and 5ESS are North American switch types.

In the USA, Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, the IBM International ISDN PC Card cannot be connected directly to the ISDN line. To use this adapter in these countries, an NT1 adapter is required to convert the U interface provided in these countries to the S/T interface used in Europe.

Make sure that you purchase an NT1 with the capability to convert the U interface to a S/T interface.

11.1 Installing cFos

To use the IBM International ISDN PC Card with application software that is not CAPI 2.0-compliant, IBM recommends that you download, purchase and use cFos. For further assistance with cFos, please see one of the following web pages:

URL Page content

http://www.cfos.com cFos main entry page

http://www.cfos.com/index2.htm cFos home page in German

http://www.cfos.com/index2_e.htm cFos home page in English

11.1.1 Introduction: What is cFos?

If you have successfully installed the CAPI 2.0-compliant drivers for the IBM International ISDN PC Card, your system is now equipped with the CAPI 2.0 interface. This means you can use CAPI 2.0-compliant ISDN communications software directly, such as AVM’s FRITZ!, Symantec’s WinFax PRO 9.0, PC Anywhere 9.x, and many others. A list of CAPI 2.0-compliant software products can be found in the World Wide Web at

Installing cFos

http:www.capi.org/cgi/sinfo.pl

However, many programs are not CAPI 2.0-compliant, including AOL 5.0, the CompuServe 4.0 dialer and other applications. By installing cFos you can equip your computer with a set of drivers that simulate analog modems, but communicate over the digital ISDN line. In other words, cFos installs a set of virtual modems which allow you to use practically any software designed to communicate with a modem.

In principle, cFos inserts an additional layer between the application you use and the CAPI 2.0 interface. It interprets the modem communication program’s AT commands and converts them into CAPI 2.0-compliant API calls, thus allowing software which was not designed for ISDN communication to use your ISDN line.

The CAPI 2.0 interface is not restricted to Europe – it works all over the world!

ISDN PC Card – 11 Implementations of the IBM International ISDN PC Card 81

Prerequisites for the cFos Installation and Additional Tips

11.1.2 Prerequisites for the cFos Installation and Additional Tips

Before you can install cFos, the device drivers for the IBM International ISDN PC Card must be installed in your system. Please read the corresponding chapters in this User’s Guide to install the device drivers for the IBM International ISDN PC Card.

Tips

1. The following installation sections contain instructions

for installing cFos. In the cFos Setup program, you may find that almost all COM ports have been selected by default. When configuring these settings, observe the following:

– Avoid selecting COM1 and COM2 if possible. Select-

ing these ports may cause conflicts. The safest method is to select only COM ports above COM4, unless your application program only supports COM1 to COM4. If this is the case, try to use either COM4 (recommended) or COM3 (if you have no alternative).

– Activating all COM ports will consume a consider-

able amount of system memory. Try to use cFos with only as many COM ports as you actually need. No more than two or three COM ports are recommended.

– Using cFos with all the available COM ports results

in a very large status window.

– If you use both an analog modem and the IBM Inter-

national ISDN PC Card, and you have selected all COM ports in the cFos Setup–that is, COM1 to COM9 are all configured for use by cFos–then your analog modem may be assigned the next free COM port available, such as COM10. It is strongly recommended that you install the analog modem first and assign it a free COM port between COM1 and COM4. Then install the IBM International ISDN PC Card, followed by cFos.

82 ISDN PC Card – 11 Implementations of the IBM International ISDN PC Card

Prerequisites for the cFos Installation and Additional Tips

– You may be able to assign two different cFos mo-

dem emulations the same COM port–assigning both ”cFos ISDN, FAX via CAPI” and “cFos ISDN, Internet, Sync PPP over HDLC” to COM5 for example–and then use the two virtual modems in alternation.

This practice is not recommended, however, since it may cause problems in cFos. If possible, avoid configurations with shared COM ports!

2. When using SystemSoft's CardWizard under Windows 95, the CardWizard software may not be able to detect the IBM International ISDN PC Card properly. Removing and reinserting the ISDN PC Card allows CardWizard to detect it. However, this may result in cFos becoming unavailable. For this reason it is therefore strongly recommended that you remove SystemSoft's CardWizard from your system before installing the IBM International ISDN PC Card.

3. During the installation you may enter an MSN, although this is not required. However, if your ISDN line is a PBX extension, cFos may be unable to dial. In this case, reconfigure cFos to use an MSN. This problem is due to a limitation of some currently available ISDN PBX systems.

4. In all versions of Windows, the cFos installer also automatically installs the modem emulations “cFos ISDN, Internet, Sync PPP over HDLC” and the “cFos ISDN, Internet, add. Sync PPP over HDLC” by default. Select at least two COM ports during the cFos installation.

5. You may find that some software applications install a set of drivers called the CAPI Port Driver. The CAPI Port Driver is similar to cFos, but offers fewer functions and features. This is not a problem: cFos and the CAPI Port Driver can coexist on a Windows computer.
