Chapter 1 - Introduction and Description

Simple to install, the MultiModemISI can be used to add multiport,
Enhanced
V.34 modem communications to a network host or server
as easily as plugging in an expansion card, running the driver
software, and connecting the phone lines.
Network managers have the option of starting with the base four
modem configuration (model #ISI334/4), and then adding four more
modems at a later date without having to use another PC expansion
slot.
This is accomplished by pairing one MultiModemISI with an auxiliary
module (model #ISI3334/EC) interfacing both with on-board
connectors.
Some MultiModemISI on-board components include one jumper
block for activating the number of ports in increments of 4 or 8. One
bank of 8 DIP-Switches for I/O address selection and one IRQ
jumper block, that control both the MultiModemISI and auxiliary
module I/O addressing and IRQ values.
When installing a single MultiModemISI in your PC, the installation
scripts create 8 devices. The first 4 devices are active, however, the
4 devices on the auxiliary module are not active until connected to
the MultiModemISI.
