MT128ISA/PCI
Software Installation
Before You Begin
After installing the terminal adapter in your computer youll need to install and configure the adapter drivers,
then set up dial-up connections.
If your ISDN application uses the CAPI interface, install a CAPI compliant application such as RVS-COM Lite.
Before you can configure your software you need to determine how you plan to use your ISDN adapter. The
MultiModem ISDN terminal adapter uses three basic APIs which are further described in Appendix B of this
manual. In general:
NDISWAN connections are used for connections to the Internet, a remote Local Area Network or for
RAS installations. Upon installing NDISWAN the following adapters and protocols are installed on
your system:
IINWAN95-ISDN Adapter
NDISWAN-IINWAN95-ISDN Adapter
VCOMM or the Virtual Modem is used for ISDN applications that do not use networking protocols,
(e.g., HyperTerminal or PCAnywhere).
ISDN (Internet MLPPP over X.75, 128K) Adapter
ISDN (Internet MLPPP+BOD over X.75, 128K) Adapter
ISDN (Internet MLPPP, 128K) Adapter
ISDN (Internet PPP over X.75, 64K) Adapter
ISDN (Internet PPP, 64K) Adapter
ISDN Universal-1 (64K) Adapter
ISDN Universal-2 (64K) Adapter
CAPI allows for such functions as faxing. Youll need to install a CAPI compliant application such as
RVS-COM Lite to use this API. Installing RVS-COM Lite will make the following modems available:
RVS ISDN
RVS ISDN Btx
RVS ISDN Fax
RVS ISDN HDLC transparent
RVS ISDN Internet PPP
RVS ISDN Minitel
RVS ISDN Modem Analog
RVS ISDN V.110
RVS ISDN V.120
RVS ISDN X.75 T.70NL
RVS ISDN X.75 transparent
Determining Modem Type
Refer to the following information for assistance in selecting the appropriate modem for your ISDN application.
The Internet MLPPP protocol is for connecting to Internet Servers and other point-to-point
(PPP) protocol servers using the Multi-Link Point-to-Point protocol. MLPPP is the only
protocol which can link two ISDN B-channels to establish a 128 kilobits per second
bandwidth data path.
Note: Before attempting to make a 128K MLPPP connection, verify that your ISP supports this
feature.
X.75 protocol is used mostly for BBS access and file transfer, but may be used for Internet
access in some locales.
The Universal-1 and -2 are multi-purpose modems. In Universal modem mode, the ISDN
driver selects HDLC protocol as the default. You can change to the appropriate protocol
through the ATBn commands (see Chapter 3). The AT command can be issued through
