v1.5.0
05/19/99
(c) Copyright 2000 by Digi International Inc.
This driver is for use with Microsoft Windows98 for remote access over ISDN.
Information required to complete installation:
You will need to have the following information from your ISDN
provider for each ISDN BRI line you order. It's important to note
that this information will/may be different for each line--even the
switch type(s) may vary between lines and/or locations!
- Switch type (AT&T 5E, NI-1, etc.) and Protocol. Make sure your
provider gives you explicit information regarding National
ISDN-1. It's not uncommon for the provider to identify the
switch type according to manufacturer and model number
(Northern TeleCom DMS-100), but neglect to mention that National
ISDN-1 software is running on the switch.
- If it's a Northern TeleCom switch, your provider should verify
that EKTS is disabled (=No).
- If it's a National ISDN-1 switch, your provider should verify
that EKTS is set to Basic or None.
- Number of Logical Terminals (typically 1 or 2).
- Multipoint or Point-to-Point service; multiple Logical Terminal
and SPIDs per BRI line usually indicates Multipoint service.
- The "DN" Directory (phone) Number assigned to each Logical
Terminal.
- The SPID assigned to each Logical Terminal.
Information required from provider to make a call:
- The protocol subscribed to on each B Channel (B1 and B2).
This will be Circuit Switched Data (CSD) and/or Circuit
Switched Voice (CSV) on either or both channels.
