17 Preface

This chapter introduces the key features of the TA.

1.1 About your TA

The Omni.Net Lite is an ISDN Terminal Adapter (TA) with S/T interface, equipped with two
phone ports for connecting to analog phones and/or fax devices. It also supports
supplementary services such as call hold, call transfer, call waiting and 3-way conference
calling. It can transmit data at the rate of up to 230 Kbps through the RS-232 cable to your
computer or terminal.

1.1.1 TA Features

Omni.Net Lite User’s Guide

CHAPTER 1

Introduction

The following sections describe features of the TA.

1.1.1.1 ISDN Basic Rate Interface (BRI) Support

The TA supports a single BRI. A BRI offers two 64 Kbps channels, which can be used
independently for two destinations or be bundled to speed up data transfer.

1.1.1.2 Extensive Analog Phone Support

The TA is equipped with two standard phone jacks for you to connect analog devices such as
telephones and FAX machines. It also supports supplementary services such as call waiting
and 3-way calling.

1.1.1.3 Outgoing Data Call Bumping Support

Call bumping is a feature that allows the TA to manage an MP bundle dynamically, dropping
or reconnecting a B-channel in a bundle when necessary.

1.1.1.4 PPP Multilink

The TA can bundle multiple links in a single connection using PPP Multilink Protocol (MP/
MLP/MLPPP). The number of links can be either statically configured or dynamically
managed based on traffic demand.

Chapter 1 Introduction 18

Omni.Net Lite User’s Guide

1.1.1.5 Bandwidth-On-Demand

The TA dynamically allocates bandwidth by dialing and dropping connections according to
traffic demand.

1.1.1.6 PAP and CHAP Security

The TA supports PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) and CHAP (Challenge Handshake
Authentication Protocol). CHAP is more secure than PAP; however, PAP is readily available
on more platforms.

1.1.1.7 Upgrade Firmware

Upgrade firmware using Terminal Emulation software such as Hyperterminal.

1.1.1.8 Supplementary Voice Features

To take full advantage of the supplementary voice services available through the TA's phone
ports, you will need to subscribe to your phone company for them. The TA supports the
following supplementary voice features on both of its analog, or POTS (Plain Old Telephone
Service), phone ports:

• Call Waiting

• Three Way Calling

• Call Transfer

• Call Forwarding

1.1.1.9 Switch Type

The TA supports the DSS-1 switch type.

1.1.2 TA and ISDN Interfaces

The TA comes with an S/T interface that connects to an NT-1 (Network Termination 1) device
(supplied by the phone company in Europe).

In the following figure:

• All devices that are designed for ISDN are designated Terminal Equipment 1 (TE1).

• All other communication devices that are not ISDN capable, but have a POTS telephone
interface (also called the R interface), including ordinary analog telephones, FAX
machines, and modems, are designated Terminal Equipment 2 (TE2).

• The Terminal Adapter (TA) connects a TE2 device to an ISDN S/T bus.

19 Chapter 1 Introduction

Figure 1 TA and ISDN Interfaces

Note: Do not connect this TA to a U interface.

1.2 TA Hardware and Driver Installation

Follow the instructions in the Quick Start Guide to install the driver and make hardware
connections.
