HARDWARE INSTALLATION

If you are using the ISDN TA PC Card under Windows 95/98/2000, Do NOT insert the PCMCIA card until after the software installation is completed.

1. Align the PC card with the arrow sign pointing toward the computer’s

PCMCIA slot.

2. Connect the 15-pin PC card connectors with the two exposed end of the

PC card. Push evenly and steadily until the units ‘click’.

3. Connect the ISDN line to the opposite end of the ISDN Network

Connection Cable. Note: If your NT1 box does not have 100 ohm resistor,

terminator resistor (optional) is required and should be

then the 100 used as a connector to connect the ISDN line with the ISDN Network

Connection Cable. Consult your dealer if the 100 not included in the package.

FIRST THING TO KNOW ABOUT SOFTWARE INSTALLATION

The ISDN TA PC Card is designed to support a wide bandwidth of interfaces/drivers for a total solution in different environments. The software setup procedures accordingly vary from interfaces/drivers to interfaces/drivers. To help you set up the software efficiently, the software installation is organized by interfaces under

Windows 95/98/2000

respectively.

The following figures are illustrated as guideline-like flow charts. If something goes wrong, track down the flow to check if there is any procedure missing while setting up; and move to the corresponding section for details.

Installing the Application Programs

Before you start, make sure the type of your Application Program Interface. The Application Program Interface (API) is used as the interface between the hardware (ISDN TA PC Card) and the application programs. Before performing the installation, make sure the type of API matching your system. The currently supported APIs are VCOMM, NDIS, and CAPI. Move to the specific section titled the appropriate API for your need for installation.

VCOMM Mode

COM port is commonly used for connecting to the external ISDN devices. With the VCOMM COM port emulation, the ISDN multifunction PC Card works exactly like an ISDN TA (Terminal Adapter) external box, which can

run with traditional terminal program packages, such as Windows 95 Hyper Terminal, Procom Plus for Windows, Telix, pcAnywhere, etc., to hook up to the on-line services and bulletin boards. In this mode, ISDN AT commands are usually used to drive the ISDN multifunction PC Card.

10. Now you are ready to connect the ISDN TA PC card to your system.

Refer to the Hardware Installation section for details.

Making Multilink PPP Connections

The Intelligent ISDN TA PC Card supports the combining of two 64 Kbps data channels into the equivalent of a single 128 Kbps line, which is known as Multi-Link connection. To make the multilink PPP connections, firstly the PPP connection has to be completed, and the hardware (the ISDN TA PC Card) has been properly installed. Perform the following steps to proceed.

Making Multi-destination Connections

The Intelligent ISDN TA PC Card enables the connections between the different destinations with two different protocols at the same time. For example, you can separately and independently use one ISDN B-Channel (say B1-Channel) with PPP protocol to connect to ISP, and the other B-Channel (say B2-Channel) with V.110 or V.120 to connect to the corporate network in head quarter or branches. This feature lets the ISDN TA PC Card fully utilize the ISDN two B-Channel resources.
