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.

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.

To fully use the voice applications, especially the ISDN Phone service, a full­duplex audio device (sound card) is required. Full-duplex means, that your audio device can handle incoming and outgoing sound signals simultaneously (i.e. you can listen and talk at the same time). If you do not have full-duplex, then you can only hear from the caller. However, this will still let you run the answering machine function.

ISDN AT COMMANDS

Besides using can alternatively use ISDN TA PC Card.
More specifically, AT commands are usually issued to the ISDN TA PC Card to control the TA's operation and configuration. AT commands can only be entered while the TA is in command mode. The format for entering AT commands is:
where X is the AT command, and n is the specific value for that command.
means pressing the ENTER button.
Any command issued is acknowledged with a response in either text or numeric values. If the commands and command-values are correct, the message will appear; otherwise
This chapter describes how to use the AT commands for the users who need special parameters in order to meet their applications. Refer to the appendix for the detailed ISDN AT command definition.

Using ISDN AT Commands

As mentioned above, you can use ISDN TA PC card through AT besides except through communication software carefully every time, because they can cause your software to loose its ability to control the modem. When you do find any AT command causes ISDN TA maul-function, turn the computer off and then on. That will reset most of the AT command settings to the factory defaults.
configuration utility
ISDN AT command
ATXn
as described in the previous section, you
to configure and use the Intelligent
ERROR
message will prompt.
OK
In order to use an AT command, you need to have done the following:
1. Run your communication software.
2. Configure the software for the appropriate COM port and IRQ setting if
necessary.
3. Enter terminal mode (aka command mode, local mode, or directmode.).
This is usually the mode that communications software starts up. Then, type the AT command for you needs, then press
AT!C0=0<Enter>
Set the ISDN TA to connect to AT&T

key. For example,
Enter
5ESS switch
AT!Z=9<Enter>
AT&N0=0<Enter>
Select async to sync PPP Conversion
Select Single-Link PPP mode
Mostly the AT commands can also be entered in the same command
line. For example,
AT!C0=0!Z=9&N0=0<Enter>
As shown above, it is not necessary to put spaces between the commands (there is no space between AT,
!C0=0, !Z=9
, and
&N0=0)
.
The ISDN TA usually returns an response at the next line if it understands the command. The response is usually OK or unless the AT command has other extended messages. Add
ERROR
&Wn
at the end of the AT command string to save the changes to ISDN TA’s memory (refer to AT&Wn commands for details), otherwise the changes will get lost when you restart or shut down the computer. Type
AT&F&Wn<Enter>
if you get lost in the AT command and want to
go back to the factory default settings.
Exception:
Do not proceed the following commands with an AT prefix or end it by pressing
Enter
.
+++ Escape sequence
The escape sequence allows the modem to exit data mode and enter on-line command mode. While in on-line command mode, you may communicate directly to your modem using AT commands. Once you are finished, you may return to data mode using the ATO command.

Note: The "!" commands are used to change certain fundamental configuration parameters which are changed very infrequently - often, only once at installation. Using these "!" commands during normal operation with the telephone line connected to the Terminal Adapter (TA) can cause unpredictable results. It is best to issue the "!" commands when the TA is not connected to the ISDN network to avoid confusion between the TA and ISDN network. The recommended procedure for using the "!" commands is as follows:(1) Disconnect the ISDN phone line from the TA. (2) Issue the "!" commands to set the correct value for the "!" command related parameters.(3) Issue the AT&Wn" command to store the parameters changed during step (2) in the user profile ".(4) Reconnect the ISDN phone line.(5) Reset or reboot the ISDN sub-system with the updated configuration parameters.
