If the phone company installs a RJ-45 phone
jack instead of the regular RJ-11 phone jack
for the ISDN line, you can still plug a RJ-11
connector into a RJ-45 phone jack. You can
also request that the phone company install
the RJ-11 phone jack for your ISDN line.

First B Channel or
Second B Channel
ISDN signaling layers
B Channel Activity
The Netscalibur comes with a Virtual LEDs program to help
you diagnose your ISDN hardware and ISDN lines. The setup
program will place the diagnostic tool in the startup group for
easy access. This diagnostic program enables you to verify that
the Netscalibur's ISDN is functioning properly by checking the
ISDN signaling layer lights. If all three signaling layer lights turn
green, it means that the ISDN driver is loaded properly and the
ISDN phone line is synchronized. Occasionally, one of the L3
lights will take longer turning green then the other lights. It may
take up 30 seconds for the line to synchronized with the
telephone company.
For everyday usage, you will find the following information
useful.
L1,L2, and L3 lights turn grey color:
This means that the Netscalibur card is not in your system.
L1,L2, and L3 lights turn green color:
This means that the ISDN is working properly and the driver has
loaded successfully. Normally, this is a good indication that the
Netscalibur card, cable, and the ISDN lines are functioning
properly. However, it does not guarantee that the SPID and
phone numbers are entered correctly.
6
L1, L2, and L3 lights turn red:
This means that the driver is not loaded. For Windows 95 users,
first check the Netscalibur's network properties in the Device
Manager for resources conflicts. An interrupt or IO address
conflict will prevent the driver from loading. You can access the
Device Manager by moving the mouse cursor to My Computer
follow by clicking on the right mouse button to bring out the
properties sheet. Afterwards, click on properties to go to
System Properties and then select Device Manager folder. Go
down to network adapters and double-click on Netscalibur
ISDN ISA-PnP to check Resources for conflicts. For Windows
NT users, you should bring up the Windows NT diagnostic in
Administrative tools to check for resource conflicts.
The red lights may also be caused by a bad cable or cable
connection. Check the ISDN RJ-45 to the phone jack and make
sure they are properly inserted.
L1 lights turn green but L2 and L3 remain red: This is
normal if the phone company uses Point-to-Point protocol. The
light will turn green once the connection has been established.
Otherwise, it means that the driver is loaded but the switch type,
SPID numbers, or the phone numbers for ISDN are incorrect.
First check the switch type, SPID numbers, and phone numbers
in the Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> ISDN tools -> ISDN
Configuration Wizard. Make sure you enter the correct SPID
numbers, phone numbers, and switch type. This information is
supplied by the phone company. If you do not know the switch
type, please select AUTO instead.
Ch1 and Ch2 remain red:
This is normal. The B Channel Activity light will turn green
only after the connection has been established. Otherwise, they
will remain red. If Ch1 turns green but Ch2 remains red, it
means that only channel 1 is connected.
The ISDN diagnostic tool does not work under
Windows NT 3.51. It will work under Windows
95 and Windows 4.0.

before installing Netscalibur's ISDN driver. Therefore,
before you install the Microsoft ISDN Accelerator Pack
from the Netscalibur Wizard CD, choose "Do not install a
driver (Windows will not prompt you again)" when
Windows 95 detects the Netscalibur or choose "Cancel" if
you have Windows 95 OEM services release 2 .
If you accidentally select "Disk provided by
manufacturer." then you should do an uninstall as
described in page 6 before continuing with the setup in
step 12.
Perform a Scandisk operation before installing the drivers.
3.
The setup program needs to modify the registry data and
copy files to your hard disk. Scanning the hard disk for
corrupted files will enable the setup program to copy drivers
correctly to the hard disk. The ScanDisk program is located
in Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools.

be given by the phone company. The easiest place to find
this information is on your phone bill. You can enter any 7
digits for the ISDN phone number and any 10 digits for the
SPID if you do not have a ISDN line yet.
Please do not enter a space, ",", or "-" between numbers
