FOR WINDOWS 2000" section of this document to properly install the
driver set.
Within the wizard mode, if invalid input has been entered and back
button is pressed, an error message may appear indicating that
the input is invalid. A valid input needs to be entered to be able
to go back.
PortAssist Viewer:
PortAssist Viewer is the diagnostics application used to troubleshoot problems
on your wan connections. There is no Start menu link to run PortAssist Viewer.
Select "Start|Run" and type "Digiview".
RAS Adapters:
On Channelized T1 Wink Start Trunks without dial tone supervision,
modems must be initialized with ATX3 for dial out.
When configuring dial up modem service for a line, all modems on the
line should be configured since incoming calls may be assigned to any
channel.
On ISDN Trunks, the following rules are applied to modem dial strings:
a) A comma (delay) in the first or second position is allowed.
b) then the first non-numeric character terminates the dial
string (e.g. 9,12345678 is a valid dial string and
9,1,234-5678 is not).
DRIVER INSTALLATION NOTES FOR WINDOWS 2000
Note: Update Driver functionality is not currently supported. If you have
