Product Overview  
Welcome to the world of ISDN communications. You have acquired one of the finest ISDN terminal adapters  
(TAs) available today, the MultiModemISDN from Multi-Tech Systems.  
The proliferation of PCs and LANs with bandwidth-intensive applications has generated a powerful demand for  
high-speed connections. The worldwide standardization of ISDN, combined in many countries with its growing  
availability and falling cost, make it a natural choice for enhancing data throughput. Terminal adapters provide  
high-performance solutions for Internet access, file transfer, remote access service (RAS), and running  
existing modem applications through the ISDN network.  
Product Description  
The MT128ISA and MT128PCI are internal PC cards for IBM personal computers; and fit into a full-or half-  
sized expansion slot. There are two ISDN interface options, ST and U. If you purchased the ST interface  
adapter (MT128PCI-SD/SV), you need an ISDN NT1device connection to the ISDN switch. If you purchased  
the U interface adapter (MT128ISA-UV), it can directly connect to the ISDN switch (figure 1-1).  
Figure 1-1. “ST” and “U” Interface Options  
Your internal ISDN PC card is compatible with prevalent ISDN switch protocols. It communicates using ISDN  
BRI (2B+D) service, which provides up to 128K bps data communications.  
This manual documents the following models:  
MT128PCI-SD for ST interface no POTS port  
MT128PCI-SV for ST interface with one POTS port  
MT128ISA-UV for U interface with one POTS port  
All of the current analog devices, including telephone set, G3 fax, answering machine, modem, and PBX trunk

Chapter 2 - Installation  
Introduction  
This chapter describes how to make all the physical and software driver connections necessary for your  
terminal adapter to operate in an ISDN environment. Please check the package contents list in Chapter 1  
before beginning your installation.  
ISDN BRI Line  
Before running the ISDN adapter, you need to get an ISDN BRI (Basic Rate Interface) line from your local  
telephone company. Your ISDN service provider will provide information to you about the ISDN central switch  
type, pertinent subscriber information and SPID (Service Profile ID) number(s).  
SPID (Service Profile ID)  
The Service Profile ID (SPID) is applicable in the U.S. only. SPIDs are a series of numbers that inform the  
central office switch which services and features to provide to an ISDN device. The generic SPID format  
comprises 14 digits. The first 10 digits are the main telephone number on the terminal. The last 4 digits are  
dependent on the number of terminals on the interface and the services they support.  
NT1 Connection  
An ISDN Basic Rate (BRI) U-Loop consists of 2 conductors from the CO (telephone company central office) to  
the customer premises. The equipment on both sides of the U-loop has been designed to deal with the long  
length of the U-loop and the noisy environment it operates in. At the customer premises the U-loop is termi-  
nated by an NT1 (network termination 1) device. An NT1 is a device which provides an interface between the  
two-wire twisted-pairs used by telephone companies in their ISDN BRI network and an end-user’s four wire  
terminal equipment. The NT1 drives an S/T-bus which is usually made up of 4 wires, but in some cases may  
be 6 or 8 wires.  
The name of the S/T bus comes from the letters used in the ISDN specifications to refer to two reference  
points, S and T. Point T refers to the connection between the NT1 device and customer supplied equipment.  
Terminals can connect directly to NT1 at point T, or there may be a PBX (private branch exchange, i.e. a  
customer-owned telephone exchange). When a PBX is present, point S refers to the connection between the  
PBX and the terminal. Note that in ISDN terminology, “terminal” can mean any sort of end-user ISDN devices,  
such as data terminals, telephones, FAX machines, etc. The diagram which follows reflects interface points in  
a typical ISDN network.  
If your ISDN product operates with a S/T outlet interface, you need an NT1 device to connect to the ISDN  
switch. MT128PCI-SD/SV adapters need an NT1 device to connect to the ISDN switch, but the MT128ISA-UV  
adapter does not require NT1 device. In the UK, and in many European countries, an NT1 device is supplied  
by your telephone company.

Chapter 2 - Installation  
Internet Access  
If you want to use an ISDN adapter to connect to the Internet, you must get an Internet access account from  
an ISP (Internet Service Provider) in your country. You must also confirm with your ISP that they support either  
single channel ISDN (64K) or multilinked channel (128K) access.  
Safety Warnings  
1. Never install telephone wiring during a lighting storm.  
2. Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for  
wet locations.  
3. This product is to be used with UL and cUL listed computers.  
4. Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been  
disconnected at the network interface.  
5. Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.  
6. Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There  
may be a remote risk of electrical shock from lightning.  
7. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.  
8. To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger Telecommunication line cord.  
9. Ports that connect to other apparatus are defined as SELV. To ensure conformity wtih EN  
41003, ensure that these ports connect only to the same type of port on the other appara-  
tus.  
Environment Setup  
All ISDN adapter models are Plug and Play (PnP) compatible. Even if the BIOS or computer main board does  
not provide PnP feature support, the device driver still can automatically configure the ISDN card with the  
proper I/O addresses and IRQ number.

Hardware Installation  
Note: Disregard step 1 for models MT128ISA-UV only, and proceed to step 2.  
1. The ISDN S/T interface can support up to 8 ISDN terminals and NT1 device connecting to  
the ISDN network. Only one ISDN S/T device should have the terminator enabled.  
Normally, the ISDN terminal farthest from NT1 should have the terminator enabled.  
Models MT128PCI-SD/SV and MT128ISA-UV provide two jumpers (JP1 and JP2) for the  
terminator setup. The default setting for the adapter(s) is terminator enabled. If there are  
other ISDN devices connected to the NT1 with ISDN adapter(s), and you do not require  
your adapter as a terminator, remove the JP1 and JP2 shorting plugs (open circuit).

Software Installation  
Before You Begin  
After installing the terminal adapter in your computer you’ll 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. You’ll 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  
MT128ISA/PCI

Chapter 2 - Installation  
Start>Settings>Control Panel>Modems>ISDN modem>Properties>Connection,  
Advanced>Extra settings.  
The Internet PPP protocol is for connecting to Internet and other communications servers  
at 64 kilobits per second. Only one B-channel is used, leaving the other free (if supplied  
by your ISDN service provider) for a different data transfer operation or a voice or fax call.  
BOD means Bandwith on Demand. BOD first establishes a 1B (64K) data channel and  
waits until data traffic is over the value specified in ATS53 (see Chapter 3 for more  
information about AT commands). When data traffic goes over this default value (or the  
value set in the user-specified AT command), BOD establishes a second B channel and  
bundles it to a 128K communication link for better performance. BOD allows greater  
flexibility in handling voice and data calls simultaneously.  
Bandwidth on demand is very useful where ISDN access is charged for by the minute, since the second B-  
channel is only used when the volume on the first B-channel has exceeded a threshold value for a certain  
period of time.  
Before BOD activates all three of the following conditions must be met:  
Average data traffic is lower than the value (ATS53) in a specific period (ATS54)  
User wants to make an outgoing voice call (picks up the handset)  
There is an incoming voice call (ring signal on an analog telephone device)

Chapter 2 - Installation  
Configuring for Your ISDN Switch  
Regardless of the operating system or application you are using, the installation process will request informa-  
tion from you about the ISDN switch and your remote connection. Use the following information as a refer-  
ence while configuring your software.  
ISDN Switch Type  
If you are not sure which switch type you are using, check with your ISDN provider.  
Codec  
Telephone companies use Codecs to convert signals transmitted over their networks. Telephone  
service providers that adhere to U.S. telecommunications standards use u-law. Many European and  
Asian telephone companies adhere to A-Law. Check with your ISDN provider if you are unsure which  
value to select.  
Standby Time  
Standby time is a timer which buffers any keypad’s input from an analog device before sending a  
message out. In general, this value will not need to be changed from the default value.  
SPID  
Certain U.S. ISDN switch types require SPID (Service Profile ID) information be configured in your  
software. If required, your telephone company will provide the necessary SPID values. SPID1 refers  
to the first ISDN line. SPID2 refers to the second ISDN line.  
MSN (POTS)  
MSN (Multiple Subscriber Number) is a supplementary service generally used by European ISDN  
switches. MSN service provides the possibility of assigning multiple ISDN numbers to a single inter-  
face. The POTS field is used to enter the phone number associated with a voice line. In a two  
channel ISDN configuration, if the MSN (POTS) field is left blank, either number can ring. If a phone  
number is entered, the number dialed on the incoming call must match the MSN (POTS) value for the  
analog device connected to the POTS (voice) (a/b) port to be enabled.  
SAD  
SAD (Sub addressing) is used by certain European ISDN providers. If subaddresses are available in  
your area enter the phone number in the format, 7706043*1, where 7706043 is the called (remote)  
phone number and 1 is the subaddress. The phone number and subaddress are separated by *.  
Protocol  
In some configurations, you will need to select HDLC, X.75 Transparent, V.120 or Auto-Detection as  
your incoming protocol. The incoming protocol selection is based upon the protocol of your ISDN  
adapter. The outgoing protocol selection is based upon the protocol of the remote ISDN device to  
which you are connecting.

Chapter 3 - AT Commands  
Chapter 3 - AT Commands (Win 98 Only)  
Introduction  
AT commands are the means by which you and your communications software are able to communicate with  
and configure your ISDN adapter. These commands enable you to establish, read and modify parameters  
associated with your ISDN connections, line protocols and call handling. The following provides a list of the AT  
commands recognized by Multi-Tech’s MultiModem ISDN terminal adapters.  
Where indicated below, the AT prefix must be issued with the command. The AT command tells the modem  
ATtention!, commands to follow”. If you issue AT as a command by itself, the adapter should respond OK,  
indicating that your cables are connected correctly and your baud rate is set properly.  
AT commands are entered in HyperTerminal mode or can be issued as an extra setting for your connection.  
Use Start>Settings>Control Panel>Modems>ISDN Modem>Properties>Connection>Advanced>Extra  
settings.

Introduction  
This chapter provides a list of questions and answers for commonly asked questions about your  
MultiModemISDN adapter. In the last part of this chapter you will find information about the “LINETEST” and  
“LOG” utilities used for diagnosing ISDN line problems. If you are not able to resolve the issues after reading  
this section, contact our Technical Support department (see Chapter 5 of this User Guide for more informa-  
tion).  
Frequently Asked Questions  
Q:  
How can I get the driver version number?  
A:  
In Win98, run HyperTerminal with a virtual modem connected to ISDN Com1 or 2, enter the  
ATI to display the version number. You may also run LOG32.EXE to view the version number  
(Version 2.21 or later). In Windows 2000, you may find the driver version by placing your  
cursor over the LINKSTS icon on the task bar.  
Q:  
How can I update the ISDN driver to a new version?  
A:  
Download the latest ISDN PC adapter driver form Windows 98, NT and 2000 from our web  
automatically, then reboot your system. In Windows NT, remove the existing driver, reboot  
your system and install the new version. You will need to reconfigure the software for your  
ISDN switch type.  
Q:  
Why can’t I use HyperTerminal to dial? (Win 98 only)  
A:  
Make sure HyperTerminal is configured with a virtual modem corresponding to the ISDN COM  
port. If you do not have two virtual modems with ISDNCom ports added use  
Start>Settings>Control Panel>Modems>Add. Select Have Disk and locate the proper file in  
the modem subdirectory of the installation diskette.  
Make sure the same protocol is used on both sides. Refer to the ATBn command (see Chap-  
ter 3) to set up the correct protocol used on the B channel. ATI will display the current set-  
tings.  
Q:  
Why can’t I make a data connection through HyperTerminal? (Win 98 only)  
A:  
Ensure the client and remote sides of the connection are using the same protocol to make a  
data connection. You may use the ATBn command to set the protocol (refer to AT Commands  
in Chapter 3 of this manual). Enter ATI to display information such as Software version  
number, B channel protocol, connection speed, packet size, current MSN and current outgo-  
ing phone number for billing.  
Q:  
How can I monitor the ISDN line and make sure the ISDN card and line are working properly?  
A:  
When the system boots up and invokes the ISDN driver, the driver will initialize the ISDN card  
and selftest the IRQ, I/O, and chipsets. If you do not see any error messages, the ISDN card  
and driver are working properly. In Windows 2000, you may run LINETEST.EXE to perform a  
line test. It will ask you to enter an ISDN telephone and make a call. Enter a local number to  
do a loopback test from your site to the ISDN switch. This will ensure the D and B channels  
are working properly. Error messages 3301 and 3302 indicate a problem with the ISDN line.  
Q:  
How can I enable Caller ID in HyperTerminal?  
A:  
The driver does not display Caller ID as a default. If you want to enable Caller ID, enter the  
command, AT#C1 and AT#C0. To disable Caller ID, enter AT#C? to give the current status of  
Caller ID mode. This function is provided in Version 2.13 and later.

Chapter 4 - Troubleshooting  
Q:  
Why does the Internet connection not work when I upgrade to V2.13 or later?  
A:  
When you upgrade to V2.13, you’ll need to remove the existing virtual modems and read them  
into the system. You can add the virtual modems using the following steps:  
1. Start>Settings>Control Panel>Modem>Add>Select Don’t detect my modem, I will  
select it from a list. Next>Select the modem and click Have Disk. Browse to the location  
of the installation diskette and select MDMASU.INF. Click OK> select the ISDN Universal-  
1 Modem, Next> associate this modem to ISDN COM port 1.  
2. Use the previous step to select the ISDN Universal-2 Modem > associate this second  
modem to ISDN COM port 2.  
Note: You may also use the Async to Sync PPP modem or the X.75 transparent modem You’ll also  
find these files in the modem sub-directory of the installation disk.  
Q:  
Why can’t I see the correct characters in the HyperTerminal screen when I get a connection  
with a remote site?  
A:  
Check to make sure the B channel protocol is the same on both sides of the connection.  
Check that the character is 8-bit ASCII or 7-bit ASCII. You can disable the first bit of 8-bit  
ASCII to 7-bit ASCII by opening the HyperTerminal settings and changing the terminal type to  
VT100. Click the ASCII Setup. In the ASCII receiving section, select “Force incoming data to  
7-bits ASCII”. Click OK.  
Q:  
Why can’t I see the ISDN ports in RAS after installing the ISDN driver in WinNT?  
A:  
Follow these steps:  
1. Remove the ISDN card via Start>Settings>Control Panel>Network, ISDN card, Re-  
move.  
2. Reboot the computer.  
3. Install the ISDN driver.  
4. Redefine the modems to RAS. The two ISDN ports will appear.  
Q:  
How can I set the phone number for outgoing calls and MSN checking for incoming calls using  
the NDISWAN interface in WinNT?  
A:  
In WinNT, set MSN1, MSN2, calling party 1, and calling party 2 for the two NDISWAN ports by  
using Start>Settings>Control Panel>Network>IINWANNT ISDN  
Adapter>Properties>NDISWAN setting. Enter the subaddress information if applicable for  
your ISDN switch, otherwise, leave these fields blank.  
In most installations, the phone number for outgoing calls is used for billing. MSN is used to  
screen and accept preferred incoming calls.  
Q:  
Why does Windows NT detect the ISDN card and request to install its drivers when Windows  
NT boots up?  
A:  
Windows NT is not a PnP operating system. If Windows NT detects a PnP card during start  
up, the operating system has previously installed ISAPNP (this is commonly installed with  
sound cards such as SB16 or AWE32). When Windows NT requests ISDN driver installation,  
check Do not install a driver and NT will not prompt you again at boot up. Follow the NT  
installation instructions in this User Guide to install the NT drivers.  
Q:  
Why doesn’t Windows NT RAS detect the ISDN Driver?  
A:  
If RAS is not installed on your computer and you install the ISDN driver, you will be presented  
with a prompt asking if you would like to install RAS. Respond “Yes” and install RAS before  
rebooting your computer. If RAS still does not recognize your adapter, remove the ISDN  
driver and try reinstalling it. If RAS is still unable to detect the ISDN driver, contact Technical  
Support for assistance (see Chapter 5).

Q:  
Is it possible to build a point to point (end to end) videophone system based on the ISDN  
card?  
A:  
Yes, for versions after V2.24, a point to point videophone system is possible to set up. You’ll  
need the following devices: ISDN Adapter, Sound Card with speaker and microphone, Video  
Capture Card, Camera, CPU:P-133, RAM 32M, VDOPhone.  
You’ll need to add a virtual modem (ISDN Videophone adapter) which runs HDLC at 512 bytes  
per-packet (equal to ATB0S39+512). This string can also be added in the Extra Setting field  
of the ISDN Universal-1 or Universal-2 adapter if you do not have the new MDMASU.INF file.  
You may configure the VDOPhone application by selecting Setup>Modem, select the virtual  
modem defined above. Use Setup>Advanced and place a mark in the check box for Use non  
H.324 compliant Modem. Complete the other fields according to the requirements of the  
specific hardware you are using.  
Q:  
I would like to use G3Fax, a voice answering machine and telephony with my ISDN card in a  
Windows environment. How can I do this?  
A:  
Before using these functions you’ll need to install a CAPI compliant application such as RVS-  
COM.  
Q:  
Can I use the MultiModemISDN adapter in a dual processor machine?  
A:  
Yes, In version 2.52, dual processors are supported in Windows NT and Windows 2000.  
LINETest  
Initiate the line test utility in Windows 2000 by clicking on the icon on the taskbar. Select Line Test. Enter your  
ISDN telephone number and click Start. The adapter will establish a test call. The status of the ISDN B and D  
channels between the terminal adapter and the ISDN switch network will display.  
Note: Before using Line Test, make sure your ISDN line is not in use.

ISDN LOG  
The ISDN Log utility provides six functions including: Start/Stop, Save, Clear, Print, Option and Close. The  
following figure (figure 4-1) shows a typical log screen. The upper text box of the Log dialog box displays  
ISDN communication information information and the bottom section of the screen displays statistical details of  
the D and B-Channel events.  
In Windows 98, run LOG32.EXE in the Windows directory.  
In Windows NT, run LOG32.EXE located in \WINNT\SYSTEM32.  
In Windows 2000, right click on the STATS.EXE icon on the task bar and select Log.  
Figure 4-1. The ISDN Log  
START/STOP: Begins or ends data logging.  
SAVE:  
Saves the entire log history contents to a file. This file can be e-mailed or printed and faxed to  
our technical support center.  
CLEAR:  
PRINT:  
Clears the Log contents. You may want to save the data before erasing it.

ISDN Log Error Messages  
You may encounter the following runtime problems:  
1. “Cannot find CTL3D.DLL”. This message indicates that your Windows system does not  
support 3D graphics. The ISDN 128K driver will continue to execute normally without the  
3D control graphic feature. You may contact your PC or system dealer to upgrade your  
Windows system if you would like this feature.  
2. “Irq Selftest Fail”. This message indicates the ISDN 128K VxD driver failed its IRQ self-  
test. Check the IRQ values in System Resources by selecting Start>Setting>Control  
Panel>System>Device Manager>ISDN card, ISDN PC Adapter>Resource.  
The PC system may have a non-PnP device using the same IRQ number as ISDN 128K  
adapter. This error is common in systems that have ISA bus sound cards installed using  
IRQ5. If your system identifies an IRQ conflict, select another IRQ (probably both hard-  
ware and software configurations) for this non-PnP device and reboot the system.  
Windows 95 user can change the IRQ used by the ISDN card in the device manager by  
using Start>Settings>Control Panel>System>Device Management>Multi-function  
adapters>ISDN PC Adapter (Master Device)>Properties>Resources. Disable the Use  
automatic settings option. Select Interrupt Request>Change Setting and select an  
available IRQ value. If IRQ 5 is not available, IRQ 10 or 12 are often good choices.  
Ensure the IRQ you select is not in use by another device.  
3. “Cannot find ISDN card”. This message indicates the ISDN 128K VxD driver does not  
find the ISDN 128K adapter when Windows starts. The problem may be associated with  
an I/O address or IRQ clash during PnP initialization. Check your system resources as  
describe in number 2 above. You may need to reinstall the ISDN 128K driver.

Appendix B - APIs  
Appendix B - APIs  
This Appendix describes the APIs (Application Program Interfaces) used with the MT128ISA and MT128PCI  
ISDN terminal adapters.  
An API is a set of routines, protocols, and tools for building software applications. A good API makes it easier  
to develop a application by providing all the building blocks for a programmer to use in the development  
process. Most operating environments, such as MS-Windows, provide an API so that programmers can write  
applications consistent with the operating environment. Programs developed using a common API will have a  
similar user interface, making it easier to learn the new program.  
The three basic APIs used with the MT128ISA and MT128PCI ISDN terminal adapters are VCOMM, CAPI and  
NDIS. The support provided for each API by the ISDN drivers is dependent upon the operating system used.  
VCOMM  
Multi-Tech’s ISDN adapters support the VCOMM (Microsoft Windows Comm) API interface. VCOMM is  
essentially a virtual communications port emulator (a virtual modem) which provides protected-mode services  
allowing Windows-based applications and drivers to use ports and modems. To conserve system resources,  
communications drivers are loaded into memory only when in use by applications.  
This interface is similar to a modem interface and enables existing applications based on AT commands to  
access ISDN. This feature is called the Comport Emulator and allows AT commands to enable ISDN features  
such as HDLC, X.75, V.120, or Async to Sync PPP (note this emulation does NOT support fax features).  
Windows 98 have the VCOMM API enabled automatically. VCOMM can only provide AT-emulation if the  
application requests its COM port services from Windows. It cannot support the application if it tries to access  
the COM port hardware directly or if your software does not use the standard VCOMM driver interface.  
Windows NT and Windows 2000 do not support VCOMM.  
CAPI  
CAPI (Common ISDN Application Programming Interface) is an application programming interface standard  
used to access ISDN equipment. When an application wants to communicate with an ISDN card it sends a  
standard series of commands to the card. These commands form the CAPI standard and give developers and  
users a chance to use a well-defined mechanism for communications over ISDN lines without being forced to  
adjust to hardware idiosyncrasies.  
CAPI drivers take over total control of your COM port and act as a switch for any other CAPI compatible  
applications. While in CAPI mode, instead of DUN (Dial-up Networking) opening and using the “real” COM  
port, your system uses a “virtual” COM port. A common CAPI application which creates this “virtual” COM port  
is RVS-COM. To DUN, this virtual COM port looks like a physical COM port. If your machine has two physical  
COM ports (COM1 and COM2), RVS-COM creates the first virtual port as the next available port (COM3).  
RVS-COM allows you to take full advantage of the CAPI API by providing for processes such as sending and  
receiving faxes, receiving voice mail, using a full duplex sound card as a telephone, transferring files from PC  
to PC, using terminal emulation for BBS and online systems as well as accessing the Internet via ISDN.  
NDIS  
NDIS (Network Device Interface Specification) was developed by Microsoft and 3COM. It is a Windows device  
driver interface that enables a single network interface card (NIC) to support multiple network protocols. For  
example, with NDIS a single NIC can support both TCP/IP and IPX connections. Certain ISDN adapters, such  
as the MT128ISA and MT128PCI can also use NDIS.  
NDIS includes a protocol manager that accepts requests from the network driver (at the transport layer) and  
passes these requests to the NIC (at the data link layer), allowing multiple NDIS-conforming network drivers to  
co-exist. In a situation where a computer contains multiple NIC’s because it is connected to more than one  
network, NDIS can route traffic to the correct card.

Appendix B - APIs  
Appendix C - Applications  
This appendix provides an introduction to popular applications that can be utilized with your ISDN TA adapter.  
TRUMPET Setup through COM Port Emulation  
In Windows 95 and Windows 98, the virtual COM port driver will automatically be enabled on system startup  
through Microsoft’s Windows Comm. API (VCOMM).  
Microsoft HyperTerminal  
HyperTerminal was designed for Microsoft by Hilgraeve Inc. and is provided with Windows 98, Windows NT  
and Windows 2000. The program provides a simple set of communication tools to make getting on-line easy.  
HyperTerminal can also be used to obtain diagnostic information from your modem after a session with your  
ISP or to make test calls to an ISP.  
If you are trying to use the HyperTerminal for a point to point connection, you’ll need to set up a virtual modem  
attached to your ISDN ComPort. Please refer to Chapter 2 for more information on setting up an ISDN  
connection for a virtual modem for your operating system. Whether you use the ISDN (X.75 Transparent, 64K)  
adapter modems or universal modems, to use the X.75 protocol, you must include the ATB3n command in the  
Advanced Connection Settings screen as shown below.  
Figure C-1. HyperTerminal for Point to Point or BBS Connection  
At the receiving site, enter ATS0=1 to automatically answer incoming calls. Note that the default protocol in  
the B channel is HDLC 64K with packet size 2048. If you would like to change the B channel protocol use the  
following steps.  
Go to extra setting field : Start>Settings>Control panel>Modems>Properties>  
Connection>Advanced>Extra settings.  
You can improve reliability and performance by changing the packet size for the B channel to 512 bytes.  
Change this setting permanently by entering “ATS39 = 512” in the Extra Setting field. If you would like the B  
channel protocol, packet or Window size to be reset to default values when the application is finished, you may  
input these values manually. For example, to select a X.75 Transparent with 1024 packet size for B channel  
connection use, ATB30S45=1024.
