1 Introduction

1.1 What is ISDN?

ISDN is the internationally standardized digital telecom-

munications network. The abbreviation ISDN stands for

Integrated Services Digital Network.

ISDN has three important new features that distinguish it

from conventional communications media:

The first is the integration of services. This means that

all public telecommunications services, such as tele-

phony, data communications, telefax, Teletex or video-

tex, are carried over a single data network. Voice, text,

files and even images can be transmitted over ISDN.

Users can connect several different terminals and use all

available services with one ISDN line. Because the ISDN

subscriber access (called a basic-rate interface, or BRI)

provides two user data channels (B channels), two differ-

ent telecommunications services may be used at the

same time—to receive a fax during a telephone conver-

sation, for example.

The second significant difference is the extraordinary

speed of data transmission in ISDN. Voice and data are

transmitted over both of the BRI’s B channels at the rate

of 2 x 64000 bits per second. Furthermore, the AVM

ISDN-Controller A1 PCMCIA allows ISDN applications

to bundle the two B channels so that throughput is

doubled.

The third important feature of ISDN is the end-to-end

digital transmission of user data: this is the basis for high

transmission quality. Poor connections, noise and inter-

ference, which can cause transmission errors or interrup-

tions in analog networks, are eliminated. Data commu-

nication over ISDN thus is not only faster, but also more

reliable than in analog networks.

Yet it was the personal computer that opened up the full

potential of ISDN: it used to be that each service required

different terminal equipment (a fax machine to send

faxes, a Vtx terminal for Videotex, etc.). Today all that is

needed is a PC, an ISDN PC adapter and the desired

application software. AVM has played a major role in

bringing about this revolutionary development to com-

bine the power and flexibility of the personal computer

and the ISDN network. ISDN and the appropriate commu-

nications software make the PC truly multifunctional!

1.2 The AVM ISDN-Controller A1

The AVM ISDN-Controller A1 creates the connection

between your PC and the ISDN network.

Figure 1 PC with AVM ISDN-Controller A1

As the illustration shows, the ISDN-Controller is simply

plugged into a free ISA/EISA bus slot in the PC. A cable

supplied with the ISDN-Controller connects the ISDN-

Controller’s S

interface to the ISDN line.

The AVM ISDN-Controller A1 handles both B channels

of an ISDN BRI line (2 x 64000 bit/s) simultaneously.

Thanks to its compact dimensions, the A1 is quite

suitable for small computer housings. The AVM ISDN-

Controller A1 is a passive adapter: that is, the card has

no microprocessor of its own. All computing is per-

formed by the PC’s processor.

1 Introduction

CAPI

Supported protocols The driver software for the AVM ISDN-Controller A1 is

loaded from the PC’s hard disk and controls the signaling

processes and data transmission, including the simulta-

neous use of both B channels. The software supports the

international D-channel protocol DSS1 (Euro-ISDN) as

well as national protocols like 1TR6. In Microsoft Win-

dows, the protocols 5ESS and NI1 also are supported.

Protocols supported on the B channels include the

common data communications protocols X.75, HDLC

transparent and others.

The AVM ISDN-Controller A1’s driver software pro-

vides the industry standard application interface

COMMON-ISDN-API (CAPI) Version 2.0 (see the Appen-

dix). In Windows 98, Windows 95, Windows NT and

Windows 3.x, this CAPI version also supports applica-

tions based on CAPI 1.1.

This manual describes installation of the AVM ISDN-

Controller A1 hardware and software. This installation

establishes the connection between the computer and

ISDN. Also included in delivery of the Controller are AVM

ISDN-Tools, a collection of CAPI-based applications.

Contact your distributor to purchase any additional CAPI

applications.

1.3 Package Contents

2 Hardware Installation

2.1 Instructions for Various Operating

Systems

The AVM ISDN-Controller A1 can be operated on a

variety of software platforms. The exact installation

procedure for the ISDN-Controller varies according to the

operating system in question.

If you work with Windows NT, Windows 3.x or MS-DOS,

first check which I/O address is available in your PC and

change the jumper position on the Controller if necessary

(see Section 2.2). Then install the Controller and the

driver software.

A different sequence of steps is valid for installation in

Windows 95/98. See the instructions for these operat-

ing systems in Chapter 3, “Driver Software Installation”.

2.2 Adjusting the I/O Address

In order to manage and use the ISDN-Controller, the

system must communicate with it through an I/O (input/

output) address.

The default values set on the AVM ISDN-Controller A1 are

an I/O address of 300 and an interrupt (IRQ) level of 5.

If the I/O address is already being used by another

adapter, change the setting before installing the Control-

ler. The ISDN-Controller has one jumper row; the position

of the jumper determines the I/O address. The I/O

address corresponding to each jumper position is listed

in Chapter 4, “Technical Specifications”, and also is

marked beside the jumper contacts on the ISDN-Control-

ler itself. The interrupt can be changed using the A1

Setup program after completion of the software installa-

tion.
