MT128ZLX-ST/NT & Application Program Interfaces
The MT128ZLX-ST/NT operates in conjunction with three Application Program Interface software
packages: NDIS, VCOMM, or CAPI. The full names of these programs are as follows:
NDIS (Network Driver Interface Specification):
VCOMM (Virtual Communications Driver):
CAPI (Common ISDN Application Program Interface):
Each API contains software components that interact with the operating system (OS) of the computer in
which the MT128ZLX is installed. The API Usage section of each OS-specific chapter will present
examples of how the MT128ZLX can be used with these APIs in that particular OS. (The CAPI-compliant
program used in these examples is RVS-COM Lite.)
Each API adds communications functionality to the system. Each of the three APIs adds a different set of
features to the system, although the APIs have substantial functionality in common with each other.
Safety Warnings
Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jacks are specifically designed for wet locations.
Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.
Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
Avoid using a telephone (other than cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electrical shock from
lightning.
Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of that leak.
