Stollmann tina-dd (internal) Readme for ISDN PC card under Windows 95 Copyright Stollmann E+V GmbH History of this file 15.02.97 1st release (Beta 9) 04.03.97 Update for Beta 10 19.03.97 Update 25.03.97 Update Stollmann tina-dd (internal) driver for Windows 95 versions: Build 181 1th Release, V1.20 1. General There are two ways to integrate the tina-dd card in a Windows 95 PC: - Integration via NDIS-WAN-Miniport driver - Integration via CAPI Both are supported in parallel by the drivers of this disk. *************************************************************** Known bugs - After deleting bindings to the NDIS-WAN-Miniport the NDIS- WAN-Miniport itself will be deleted. You have to reinstall. - T-Online doesn't work with CAPI 1.1 16bit. You can use CAPI 2.0. *************************************************************** 2. Overall Architecture 2.1 NDIS-WAN Miniport/Dial-up network/RNA The basic driver is a NDIS-WAN-Miniport driver compliant to Microsoft specifications. It gives ISDN access via the dial-up network and RNA service. You may connect to other Windows 95 PCs, Windows NT Server/Workstations and most Internet access points. Note that the device you dial in has to have an ISDN interface. You are not able to connect if the server provides analog modem access only. After establishing the connection the ISDN link behaves as a LAN connection. You may connect your PC to another network drive within the Explorer through the ISDN link. You also may use any LAN aware application through the ISDN link. You may work through the LAN link as if you would be connected to it locally by an ethernet or token ring adaptor. Consider that the ISDN link is not as fast as a local LAN link and the download of big amounts of data or application software may be time consuming. To increase the speed of data transmission you may use both B-channels in parallel giving an transmission rate of 128.000 bps (channel bundling). Please refer to the Windows 95 documentation for details. 2.2 CAPI The basic NDIS WAN Miniport driver provides an internal CAPI interface in parallel. The CAPI application software may run in 16- or 32-bit mode. To connect to the NDIS WAN Miniport driver it uses different CAPI.DLLs (CAPI 1.1, 16.bit, CAPI 1.1, 32-bit, CAPI 2.0, 16-bit, CAPI 2.0, 32-bit) which come with the tina-dd disk and in some cases also with the CAPI application software. In some configurations both CAPI.DLLs will work, in some only the CAPI.DLLs coming with the tina-dd TA or coming with the CAPI application software. Although the configuration should work after normal installation in some cases it might be necessary to replace a CAPI.DLL with another one by copying to the appropriate directory. If in doubt, please consult Stollmann E+V GmbH before doing so. You will get best results in terms of performance and stability with the CAPI 2.0 32-bit (CAPI2032.DLL). The second best choice is the CAPI 2.0 16-bit (CAPI20.DLL). Although it will work in most cases you should avoid to use applications requiring a CAPI 1.1 interface. Some CAPI applications may require certain hardware features to fulfill specific services. I.e. an analog fax/modem chipset may be required to connect to server which have an analog modem access only. Please make sure that the protocols your application desires are supported by the Stollmann tina-dd. These are: - Bittransparent - HDLC transparent - X.75 - V.120 - T.70NL - T.90 You may run Dial-up/RNA connections and CAPI connections in parallel. Please consider that only two B-channels are available. I.e. if you use channel bundling on RNA there will be no B-channel left for a CAPI application to dial out or be dialled in. 3. Installation of Stollmann tina-dd (internal) 3.1 Installing Stollmann tina-dd hardware Install the Stollmann tina-dd as described in the manual. Configure the port of it to a free IO-address and interrupt (preferably I/O 260 and IRQ 10, default value) . You may not install more than 1 Stollmann tina-dd in one Windows 95 computer. 3.2 Updating from previous version none 3.3 Installing Stollmann tina-dd driver Install the dial-up network and the ISDN Accelerator Pack before you install the Stollmann tina-dd. There are different versions of Windows 95 available: Windows 95 Release, Windows 95 OEM Release 2 and an update release. There are also different versions of the ISDN Accelerator Pack: Accelerator Pack 1.0, Accelerator Pack 1.1 US and Accelerator Pack 1.1 Germany. Since we found incompatibilities between the Windows 95 OEM Release 2 and the Accelerator Pack 1.1 Germany we install the US Release of Accelerator Pack 1.1. If you have installed the Stollmann tina-dd and still have not installed either the dial-up network or Accelerator Pack you should deinstall the Stollmann tina-dd before you install the dial-up network or Accelerator Pack. Additional installation informations: 3.3.1 IO-Port address The Stollmann tina-dd can be installed at four different IO-Base addresses of the ISA bus. The default address is 268H. Change this address only if a conflict with other boards occurs. You will notice this during installation by a star in front of the base address in the base address selection window. If you want to change, adjust the jumper (small plug on a pinrow close to the golden ISA bus contacts) on the card as described in the manual. The board address selected by the jumper has to be the same as selected within the installation procedure. 3.3.2 Interrupt number The interrupt level of Stollmann tina-dd on the ISA bus is configured by Jumper also. Unfortunately there is no secure way to find out which interrupt levels are already in use by other devices. In case you select an already used interrupt level the installation process in most cases will succeed but the dial network will not allow you to use the Stollmann tina-dd that means it will not appear in the selection list of modems if you define a new connection. In this case refer to the chapter trouble shooting later in this readme file. 3.3.3 D-channel protocol The D-channel protocol is used to establish the connection through the ISDN network. During this process the Stollmann tina-dd talks to your local exchange or your PABX. This version is compatible with DSS1 and 1TR6. After finishing the installation of the Stollmann tina-dd start the ISDN Configuration Wizzard for Windows 95 to select the D-channel protocol you will use. If the configuration is complete you have to reboot. 3.3.3.1 Public ISDN DSS1 The DSS1 protocol is the standard protocol in Europe. 3.3.3.2 Public ISDN 1TR6 The 1TR6 protocol is the older German national protocol. 3.3.3.3 Public ISDN VN3 The VN3 protocol is the French version of DSS1. 3.3.3.4 Public ISDN NI-1 The NI-1 protocol is the standard protocol in the USA. 3.3.3.5 Public ISDN INS64 The INS64 protocol is the standard protocol in Japan. 3.3.3.6 Private switches (PABX) PABXs use different protocols, including 1TR6, DSS1, DKZE and proprietary protocols. If in doubt, consult the vendor. In some cases the data transfer service of the ISDN interface has to be configured in the switch or the PABX. 3.3.3.7 Festverbindungen S01, S02, 64S (leased line) Not supported by Stollmann tina-dd. 3.3.3.8 Point-to-point (PTP) This is used to connect PABXs to ISDN. Not supported by tina-dd. 3.3.3.9 Multiple Subscriber Number (MSN) You can distinguish between ISDN terminals connected to a common S0 bus by giving them different MSN. The MSN of the Stollmann tina-dd is selected by the application program. Your ISDN network provider (the PTT) will give you one or more MSN when installing the ISDN interface. The MSN consists of the phone number without the area code. 3.3.3.9.1 RNA application On first time installation you are asked for Phone number 1 and 2 during ISDN configuration (later you may use \program\isdntools\cfgwizard\ to alter the numbers). You may insert two different MSN numbers here or leave the second blank. The first number will be used by RNA with outgoing calls as a "home" address. It is not the number that is dialled by RNA (this number is called the number of the "primary device"). To force your Stollmann tina-dd to accept all incoming calls leave both fields blank. Note: for accepting incoming calls you have to setup an RNA server, this is available with the Windows95 PLUS package. 3.3.3.9.2 CAPI application Most CAPI application programs will ask you during installation to insert your MSN numbers. In most cases they will allow you to insert different MSNs for different services. The target is to route incoming calls to the appropriate service (like file transfer or answering machine) so you're communication partners can directly dial into the service they desire. Supposed you have three MSNs you may give one to the Euro File Transfer program, the second for a ISDN mailbox and leave the third for the ISDN telephone connected to the same basic rate interface. To force your Stollmann tina-dd to accept all incoming calls refer to the documentation of your CAPI application software. The MSNs of RNA and CAPI may be different or the same. 4 Running Stollmann tina-dd After you have installed Stollmann tina-dd you may use it with dial-up networking by choosing the Stollmann tina-dd from the modem list while building a new connection. You will find two "TDDWMAC" entries, one for each of the both B-channels your S0 bus provides. You may just use them instead of the modem connection. Please note that the server you dial in has to have an ISDN interface as well. You will not be able to connect to a server which has analog modem access only. When you dial the connection to a Windows NT RAS Server you will be prompted by "Verifying user name and password" if the connection is established. This indicates that the ISDN line is working. 5 Troubleshooting 5.1 Installation 5.2 Dial-up networking - TDDWMAC entry does not exist in modem list Driver has not been started. To check board address and interrupt level open the Control Panel, System, and configure the ISDN adaptor. The board address and interrupt level will be shown. Check the board address against the jumper setting on the card. To check the interrupts already in use open the Control Panel, Devices, Resources. If you go through the list of devices interrupt conflicts will be shown. If a conflict occurs between the tina-dd and another device find free interrupts. Change the interrupt level of the tina-dd TA in the "configure" field to a free one. You have to close the window than and restart the computer. If it still does not work the selected interrupt level might be used by another device although it is marked as free in the resource list. Try others of the interrupt levels marked as free in the resource list until you find one that works. If you can't all of the interrupts may be in use. You would than have to remove another device from your computer to install the Stollmann tina-dd. - You cannot make a connection There are some steps in making a connection. First the Stollmann tina-dd has to be selected from the modem list for the connection you want to make. If you start the dialling process make sure that the number you are dialling is correct (including prefixes, public line prefixes in case you are connected to a PBX) and that the number you call is an ISDN line and your partner has an ISDN adaptor as well. With the dial-up network, you will not be able to call an analog modem with the Stollmann tina-dd (this might be different with a CAPI application). While the dialling proceedes look for the display of the status. When you get the message "Verifying username and password" the connection has been established and the computer on the other side has answered the call. Both computer are actually trying to exchange informations to let you access the remote network. If the called computer denies you to access the network contact your network operator for proper settings of user accounts. - You cannot be called If you are able to dial out but can not be called check the setting of your MSN (see chapter above). Note: for accepting incoming calls you have to setup an RNA server, this is available with the Windows95 PLUS package. 5.3 CAPI applications 5.4 Support - Support Stollmann E+V GmbH Reiner Gilch Internet: reiner@stollmann.de Tel: ++49-4089088-142 Fax: ++49-4089088-444 - Product information http://www.stollmann.de or call or fax us.
