- SUMMARY
- =======
-
- Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) is a replacement for older
- analog phone lines, which typically communicate at speeds of 9600 bits per
- second. ISDN communicates at speeds of 64 or 128 kilobits per second. The
- DigiBoard PCIMAC ISA ISDN adapter allows Windows NT 3.1 to access ISDN
- lines through Remote Access Service (RAS).
-
- MORE INFORMATION
- ================
-
- If neither RAS nor the DigiBoard PCIMAC ISA adapter have been installed
- yet, do the following steps:
-
- 1. Install the DigiBoard PCIMAC card in the computer, setting jumper
- switches for I/O Port Starting Address to not conflict with any other
- hardware devices in your computer.
-
- 2. In the Control Panel window, choose the Network icon, and then choose
- the Add Adapter button. In the list box, select DigiBoard PCIMAC - ISA
- Adapter, and then choose the Continue button. In the Adapter Card Setup
- dialog box, enter the appropriate settings for IRQ Level, I/O Base
- Address, Memory Base Address, Switch Type and Line Options. (If you are
- uncertain of the settings for Switch Type or Line Options, contact your
- ISDN service provider.) Choose the OK button.
-
- 3. Add RAS by choosing the Add Software button, select Remote Access
- Service, choose the Continue button, and then enter the path to the
- distribution files.
-
- 4. After the RAS files are copied, the Remote Access Setup dialog
- box appears. Choose the Add button. In the Add Port dialog box, select
- the appropriate ISDN port, and then choose OK.
-
- 5. In the Configure Port dialog box, select from the Port Usage options
- (Dial out only, Receive calls only, or Dial out and Receive calls).
- Choose the Settings button and change the Line Type, Negotiate Line
- Type, and Enable Hardware Compression settings, if necessary. (If you
- are uncertain what to enter here, contact the ISDN service provider and
- DigiBoard.) In the Remote Access Setup dialog box, choose OK for
- Settings, choose OK for Configure Port, and then choose Continue. The
- ISDN port for use with RAS has now been added. Choose OK at Remote
- Access Service Setup message, choose OK on Network Settings, and then
- Yes to shut down the computer. RAS and the DigiBoard PCIMAC adapter are
- now configured.
-
- 6. Start RAS by choosing the Add button, and then add a phone book entry to
- communicate over the ISDN line. Enter the appropriate Entry Name, Phone
- Number, and so on, and then select the port that the DigiBoard PCIMAC
- ISDN adapter is configured on. If you need to change any ISDN settings,
- choose the ISDN button. When the phone book entry information is
- complete, choose OK and you are ready to call out on the ISDN line. If
- RAS is installed prior to adding the DigiBoard PCIMAC ISDN adapter, this
- information still applies, except that you need to go into Networks
- applet of Control Panel, and in the Installed Network Software list box,
- select Remote Access Service. Choose the Configure button and add the
- ISDN port (as described in steps 4 and 5 above).
