Dear ZyXEL customer,                                    Vienna, 01/27/1998


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Update of the European "MDMZYXEI.INF" modem definition script file
           for the ZyXEL Elite 2864 ISDN terminal adapter
                 with firmware version v2.11 (01/15/98)

          Now this file is for following operating systems:
              Microsoft Windows95 v4.00.950 and OSR 2 (aka 950b)
              Microsoft WindowsNT v4.00.1381 (with Service Pack 3)

          and for the latest betatest technical previews:
              Microsoft Windows98 v4.10.1650.8 (Beta 3)
              Microsoft WindowsNT v5.00.1671   (Beta 1)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

note:
 01/27/98 -> added modification for French Minitel (V.23)
 01/22/98 -> fixed a minor bug in default value for "CallSetupTimout"
             changed from 1 second (in INF file 01/20/98)
                       to 1 minute (in INF file 01/22/98)



1.) Installation:
-----------------
 +  In the Windows modem wizard (start | settings | control panel | modems)
    you should remove all existing modem entries for the ZyXEL Elite ISDN.

 +  Please check your \WINDOWS\INF\ directory for already existing files
    (older versions) of the MDMZYXLG.INF, MDMZYXEI.INF or MDMZYX28.INF.
    All these existing files should be renamed to *.OLD

 +  Check that there don't exist any other "OEMx.INF" ('x' is a digit)
    files for the ZyXEL Elite ISDN TAs in the \WINDOWS\INF\ directory.
    Have also a look into the \WINDOWS\INF\OTHER\ directory, if it
    exists (new in Windows98 and NT 5.0)
    You'll have to look into the "OEMx.INF" by opening it with the
    NOTEPAD.EXE (or any other ASCII editor). If the "OEMx.INF"
    starts with the header which lets you assume it is for ZyXEL modems,
    then please rename (or delete) this file !

 +  Then install your ZyXEL Elite 2864I ISDN terminal adapter once again
    by using the "modems" wizard in the control panel. Don't let Windows9x/NT
    search for the new modem but add the new hardware manually !
    You will be prompted to enter the path where Windows9x/NT could find
    the new INF driver file. Select the corresponding modem entry.

 +  If you have installed UNIMODEM/V (free update for Windows95 v4.00.950),
    if you are using Windows95 OSR 2 (v4.00.950b) or if you are using
    the Windows98 Beta 3 (v4.10.1650.8 or higher builds), you will be
    prompted to enter the path where the operating system can find
    the modem voice serial wave device driver file, in our case it is
    the "SWVZYXEI.INF"


2.) How to work with this INF ?
-------------------------------
+   This new INF does not support several modem entries anymore - as
    they were in previous versions of the INF file for ZyXEL Elite ISDN.
    Now, by default the PPP (on HDLC) B-channel protocol is selected (ATB40).
    It is mostly used to connect to the Internet Service Provider's routers
    or for WindowsNT RAS.

    We also added the support for automatic call switching between
    digital (ISDN) and analog (modem/fax) calls. (AT&O1)

    However, if you want to select different B-channel protocols for
    outgoing calls you have two choices to select them:
    a.)  in Windows modem wizard's advanced extra settings
    b.)  or by using the "ZyXEL ISDN Configuration Manager"

    ad a.) In the Windows modem wizard's advanced extra settings you can
           enter any other command for B-channel protocols. By default, as
           mentioned above, you will find there the command: "ATB40" (PPP)
           You can use following commands (please look into the ZyXEL user's
           manual for further information)
                        ATB00  -> X.75
                        ATB1x  -> V.110  ('x' is for user rate select)
                        ATB20  -> V.120
                        ATB30      n/a
                     *  ATB40  -> PPP
                        ATB41  -> SLIP
                     * = default

    ad b.) "ZyXEL ISDN Configuration Manager" (= ZyICM) which is currently
           available as version v2.4, (January 17, 1998)
           This ZyICM is a Windows-based application which lets select
           some parameters of the ZyXEL ISDN terminal adapters in a more
           user friendly and simple way: just select the outgoing protocol
           and click on the "apply" button. The selected protocol will
           be stored in the TA's user profile #0 in NVRAM (AT&W0).

           attention: in this case the default command "ATB40" in
           the modem's wizard advanced extra settings must be cleared,
           otherwise always this command for PPP protocol will overwrite
           the ZyICM's selection.


note: because ZyXEL R&D Dept. Taiwan and Microsoft is developing many
      new features this MDMZYXEI.INF will also be modified again in the
      future !

      Please have a regularily look to our Internet ftp-server where you
      always will find the most updated version:
