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:
URLPage Content
http://
www.cfos.comcFos main entry page
http://www.cfos.com/index2.htmlcFos home page in German
http://www.cfos.com/index2_e.htmlcFos home page in English
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 Wo rld Wide Web at
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 li ne.
Note: Using cFos does not guarantee that your non-CAPI compliant software
will work with the IBM International ISDN PC Card. If this is the case,
please consult the User’s Guide for your software or your software
support.
The CAPI 2.0 interface is not restricted to Europe – it works all over the world.
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. Selecting 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 considerable 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 International 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
68 IBM ISDN PC Card:User’s Guide
first and assign it a free COM port between COM1 and COM4. Then
install the IBM International ISDN PC Card, followed by cFos.
• You may be able to assign two different cFos modem 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 softwar e applicatio ns install a set of dri vers 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 Dri ver
can coexist on a Windows computer.
Installing cFos in Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows Me
IBM recommends to download, buy , and use the latest cFos version or use the one
provided on the CD for the IBM International ISDN PC Card for use with nonCAPI 2.0 compliant software. For further assistance with cFos, see one of the
