Copyright OEM License



1.        General

There are two ways to connect a Windows NT computer to ISDN:

- Integration via NDIS-Miniport driver (this floppy)
- Integration via serial modem driver and COM-Port (a different
  product, please contact your dealer for further information)

This floppy contains the software necessary for the integration
via NDIS/TAPI Miniport. It supports one/two B-channel with up
to 64.000 bps. 

This floppy contains the following files:

- oemsetnt.inf          Installation script for NT
- readme.txt            This text
- colwmac.sys           NDIS/TAPI Miniport driver
- isdnmsg.dll           DLL for display of eventlogs
- isdncfg.dll           DLL for configuration

2.      PCI ISDN Card adapter

2.1     Installing PCI ISDN Card hardware

Install the PCI ISDN Card as described in the manual. Configure 
the port of the PCI ISDN adapter on a free interrupt (see manual 
of PCI ISDN Card). 

2.1.1   Updating from previous version

Please deinstall the PCI ISDN Card from RAS and from the
list of network adaptors and install it with the new version
again. While installing make sure that you choose the
installation from the floppy and not from harddisk.


2.2     Installing COLWMAC

Install RAS and your LAN protocols before you install the
PCI ISDN Card NDIS driver. Choose a port like COM2 for RAS
installation.

The driver is to be installed with the "Control Panel". Start
"Network" and "Add Adapter...". Now you get a list of the
available adaptors. Select "Diskette" to force the
system to load the files from the floppy onto the harddisk.
Select "PCI ISDN Card". 
Select the D-channel protocol you will use. 
Please enter the telephone numbers (phone 1 and phone 2) you will 
use. If you have only one telephone number you may leave the 
second phone number blank. 

Now you can configure your MSN's. 
- For incoming calls you can select followings:
    1    Only phone number 1 
    1+2  Both phone numbers 1 and 2
    2    Only phone number 2
    all  All MSN's
  will accept incoming calls.
- For outgoing calls you can select followings:
    1    Phone number 1
    2    Phone number 2
  will be used within outgoing call.

By using US D-Channel protocols like NI-1, DMS-100 or NI-2
you have to enter SPID's for each phone number you will use.

After that, please change to "Network Services", choose
"Remote Access Service" and call "Add..". Add the ISDN (ISDN1)
colwmac to the list of devices and delete other devices, if not 
used. Afterwards close "Network Settings" and restart Windows NT.
To use both B-channels simultaneously please install ISDN (ISDN2) 
colwmac too.

2.2.1   Interrupt number

The interrupt number is configured by your WinNT system.


2.2.2   I/O address

The I/O address is configured by your WinNT system.


2.2.3   D-channel protocol

Following D-channel protocols are supported by PCI ISDN Card:
- DSS1 
- 1TR6 
- VN-4/5 
- NI-1/2
- DMS 100 


2.2.3.1 Public ISDN, DSS1

The DSS1 protocol is the common European protocol. Most of the
new ISDN-interfaces in Germany support DSS1. Other countries
supporting DSS1 are: Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway,
The Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Austria
and many others. The data transfer service of the ISDN
interface has to be configured in the switch or the PABX.


2.2.3.2 Private switches (PABX)

PABXs use different protocols, including 1TR6, DSS1, DKZE and
proprietary protocols. If in doubt, consult the vendor. The
data transfer service of the ISDN interface has to be
configured in the switch or the PABX.


2.2.4 Multiple Subscriber Number (MSN)

You can distinguish different ISDN terminals by a different
MSN (DSS1). With this parameter you select a specific MSN for 
the PCI ISDN Card.


2.3       Running COLWMAC

After you have restarted your computer, you can start
"RAS" from the "RAS" program group and add an entry
into the telephone directory. Select the COLWMAC (ISDN) at the
"Port" pull down. If it is not existing, maybe you did
not configure the RAS port for dialling out.

If ok, close the "Add" window and dial. You can get connections 
to most data terminals on ISDN, but to get any data transfer it has 
to support the PPP protocol in a Windows NT compatible way. 
If you call a Windows NT RAS Server, you will be prompted 
by "Verifying user name and password" if the connection 
is established.

If the connection fails, check the eventlog. You will find
an entry with the ISDN cause.
If the logon process does not suceed, check the following
settings on the RAS server and client:
- user accounts
- domain trustees
- network protocols
- security settings, type of password encryption

To check the status of the RAS server process choose
"RAS Administration" from the RAS window. To be able to
handle incoming calls RAS has to be started. If you double-
click the bar, you get additional status information on the
ports.


3.        Troubleshooting

- Driver not loaded
  If the driver is not loaded at restart of the computer, check
  the Event Viewer and save it in a file.

- COLWMAC entry does not exist in RAS port list
  During installation, it may happen that the entry COLWMAC does
  not exist in the window "Network Software", "Remote Access
  Service". In this case please deinstall the PCI ISDN Card
  and repeat the complete installation.

- RAS Error 640, invalid TAPI configuration:
  Remove "PCI ISDN Card" from "Network Settings",
  remove COLWMAC from "RAS Configuration" under "Network
  Settings" and restart the PC. Afterwards install the
  "PCI ISDN Card" again and configure RAS to it.

- RAS Error 651:
  The partner you have called does not react. Check the number
  you have dialed. Check if the computer you have called is
  running and the line is not busy. Check if the RAS of the
  computer you are calling is configured as server (not client
  only).

- No user responding 0x34BA (Event Log)
  The number settings are not correct. You call another ISDN
  line, but there is no data terminal responding. The reasons
  can be:
  - the number you call does not address the ISDN bus your
    NT-Server is connected to. If the calling client is
    connected to a PBX you have to dial a prefix to
    access the public ISDN.
  - the MSN you have programmed in the called NT server is
    different from the number which is transmitted with the
    call in the DAD from the public/private switch.
    Set MSN to wildcard to accept all incoming
    calls.

- You cannot be called
  There is no way to check your own ISDN number by yourself
  without any doubt. Make sure that you configured RAS as
  server (not client only).

PCI ISDN Card CAPI 2.0 Protocol

Readme for Windows NT CAPI
Copyright OEM License

1.      General

Supported CAPI versions
- CAPI 2.0 is supported by CAPI2032.DLL

This floppy contains the following files:

- oemsetnt.inf          Installation script for NT
- ndiscapi.sys          CAPI transport provider for NDIS
- capi.sys              CAPI 2.0 kernel mode driver
- capi2032.dll          CAPI DLL
- isdncfg.dll           DLL for configuration

For programing details please refer to the CAPI 2.0
specification.

We suggest to use CAPI 2.0 which is based on DSS1. It will
replace CAPI V1.1 which was designed for the German national
ISDN.


2.      Installation

- Before installing the CAPI-Interface you have to install NDIS-
  Interface. This NDIS-Interface can you download from our
  Mailbox.
- Now you can install the CAPI-Interface by choosing "Control" Group
  further "Network", "Software" and "DISK". Switch to A:\CAPI
  and say OK.


3.      Troubleshooting

If you face problems please use a development environment
with two NT machines and use kernel debugging. The kernel
debugger output is collected in a file on the debug monitor
computer and can be sent for support purposes.

You find details on kernel debugging on the MSDN developer CD.
