10. Configuration and diagnostics of the IBM
International ISDN PC Card
Note: No diagnostics tool is available for Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
This chapter briefly describes how to change the D-channel protocol (also called
the switch type), how to change MSNs, and how to diagnose problems with the
adapter.
When you travel to another country outside Europe, it might be necessary to
change the adapter D-channel protocol, also known as the switch type. The IBM
International ISDN PC Card supports the following D-channel protocols:
•Euro-ISDN (DSS1)
•NI-1
•5ESS
Euro-ISDN is used all over Europe, Australia and New Zealand. NI-1 and 5ESS
are North American switch types.
Note: In the United States of America, Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, the
IBM International ISDN PC Card cannot be connected directly to the ISDN
line. To use this adapter in these countries, an NT1 adapter is required to
convert the U interface provided in these countries to the S/T interface
used in Europe.
Make sure that you purchase an NT1 adapter with the capability to convert the U
interface to a S/T interface.
