MultiMobile MT128ZLX User Guide 1 Introduction
MT128ZLX-ST/NT & Application Program Interfaces
The MT128ZLX-ST/NT operates in conjunction with three Application Program Interface software packages: NDIS, VCOMM , or CAPI. The full na mes of thes e prog rams are as follows:
NDIS (Network Driver Interface Specification): VCOMM (Virtual Communica tions D river): CAPI (Common ISDN Application Program Interface):
Each API contains software components that interact with the operating s ys tem (OS) of the computer in which the MT128ZLX is installed. The “API Usage” section of each OS-specific chapter will present examples of how the MT128ZLX can be used with these APIs in that particular OS. (The CAPI-compliant program used in these examples is RVS-COM Lite.)
Each API adds communications functionality to the system. Ea ch of the three APIs a d d s a d ifferent s et of features to the system, although the APIs have s u b s ta ntial functionality in common with each other.
Safety Warnings
Never install telephone wiring d u rin g a lightning storm. Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jacks are specifically designed for wet locations. Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the netw ork interface. Use caution when installin g or mod ify ing telephone lines. Avoid using a telephone (other than cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electrical shock from
lightning. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of that lea k.

The NDIS API
NDIS allows Network Interface Cards (NICs) to work with each other, with the operating system, and with higher order protocol drivers. NDIS is a n interface that facilitates development of NIC driv ers . NDIS program routines can implement the functions that NIC drivers must perform. Thes e include intera ction with protocol drivers, the handling of hard ware interrupts, and interface with u n d erlyin g N I C s b y d ea ling with registers, port I/O, and other functionality. NDIS allows drivers to be developed in high-level programming languages, su ch tha t their crea tion and implementation are platform-independent.
The VCOMM API
The communications device driver known as “VCOMM” provides protected-mode services. It allows makes ports and modems available to Windows-based software application programs. VCOMM also uses plug-and-play functionality to simplify the insta lla tion and configuration of communications devices.

The CAPI API
Being a common interface, the ISDN CAPI ( C ommon A pplication Program Interface), allows softw a re programs to use all ISDN services. Computer programs have access to most services and features of ISDN when used with CAPI. This access is hardware-independent. CAPI makes call numbers available, as well as several kinds of service information: caller numb er, c alled number, call charg e s , I SDN service ID. CAPI also facilitates transmission of data, FAX, or voice, and multiple B-channels can also be used simultaneously on a s in gle call.
It is the capabilities of the ISDN adapter a n d the type of IS D N connection tha t d etermine w hich s erv ices and features are actually available. CAPI merely serves as a common interface. ISDN CAPI is a platform­independent standard which can be used in non-Windows operating systems like OS/2 and UNIX, as well as in Microsoft operating systems.
CAPI 2.0 is the current form of CAPI. ISDN adapters with CAPI 2.0 can be used anywhere in Europe with the DSS1 Euro-ISDN connection.

MT128ZLX: Using APIs in Windows 98
About A PIs
The MT128ZLX-ST/NT operates in conjunction with three Application Program Interface software packages: NDIS, VCOMM, or CAPI. This chapter presents examples of how the MT128ZLX can be used with these APIs. The CAPI-compliant program used in these examples is RV S -COM Lite.
Each API contains software components that interact with the operating s ys tem of the compu ter in wh ich the MT128ZLX is installed. Each API adds communications functionality to the system. Each of the three APIs adds a somewhat different s et of features to the system, as summariz ed in the ta b le be low a n d described more fully in subsequent sections.

The CAPI API
Being a common interface, the ISDN CAPI ( C ommon A pplication Program Interface), allows softw a re programs to use all ISDN services. Computer programs have access to most services and features of ISDN when used with CAPI. This access is hardware-independent. CAPI makes call numbers available, as well as several kinds of service information: caller numb er, c alled number, call charg e s , I SDN service ID. CAPI also facilitates transmission of data, FAX, or voice, and multiple B-channels can also be used simultaneously on a s in gle call.
It is the capabilities of the ISDN adapter a n d the type of IS D N connection tha t d etermine w hich s erv ices and features are actually available. CAPI merely serves as a common interface. ISDN CAPI is a platform­independent standard which can be used in non-Windows operating systems like OS/2 and UNIX, as well as in Microsoft operating systems.
CAPI 2.0 is the current form of CAPI. ISDN adapters with CAPI 2.0 can be used anywhere in Europe with the DSS1 Euro-ISDN connection.
Intro to API Single-Channel and Mult i Li nk Exampl es
In the following procedures, you will use Application Program Interfaces (APIs) to set up a n d us e dia l-u p networking with the MT128ZLX in conjunction with the particular operating system your computer is using. The APIs are installed as part of the MT128ZLX driver installation, which must be complete before these procedures can be done. Note that the procedures presented here are examples only.
