What's in it for the SOHO user?
SOHO users need fast and reliable dial-up connections to
corporate networks and on-line information services to access
information they would normally have from their corporate LAN,
like email and databases.
The DIVA Pro 2.0 is suited for users who primarily connect to
ISDN devices, but who still have the need to occasionally connect
to an analog modem or send a fax to an analog fax machine. Not
only can information be transmitted digitally, but the DIVA Pro
2.0 permits analog communications over ISDN, providing SOHO users
with an extremely flexible communications solution.

 |
| Worldwide Communication Ability |
The DIVA interface cards operate by supporting two
B-channels for data transmission with transfer rates of 64kbps each, and one
D-channel for call set-up, with a transfer rate of 16kbps. The D-channel protocols
support major national ISDN-protocols. The DIVA ISDN interface cards are equipped
with either an S/T interface or an integrated NT1 (primarily for North American
users), which allows the U-Interface to accommodate the connection between the
ISDN line and ISDN device. The support of D-channel protocols and the availability
of both interfaces facilitates ISDN communications anywhere in the world.

|
| Full WAN Connectivity |
When used in conjunction with the appropriate software,
Eiconís DIVA ISDN interface cards allow remote stand-alone PCs to communicate
with central site LANs, remote access distributed servers, traditional host
computers, and on-line information services over ISDN. The DIVA interface cards
enable clients to access networks at least twice the speed of the fastest analog
modem.
|
|
| Full CAPI 2.0 Compliance |
Eiconís DIVA ISDN interface cards provide an integrated
solution that enables new applications to operate transparently over ISDN. This
is accomplished by DIVAís support for CAPI (Common Application Programming
Interface), an industry standard for cross-platform software compatibility. Any
application written to CAPI 2.0* is supported by the DIVA interface card, making
it a compatible and non-proprietary ISDN solution.
* CAPI 1.1 is only supported with DOS
|
|
| Trace Diagnostic Tool |
The trace diagnostic tool for the B- and D-channels
provides information about the cardís status in the event of a problem.
|
|
| ISA and PCI bus Formats |
Depending on the bus requirements of the PC, the DIVA 2.0
and DIVA Pro 2.0 are available in both ISA and PCI bus formats.
|
|
| Plug-and-Play Support |
With ISA Plug-and-Play support, in accordance with
Microsoft/Intel standard, the DIVA 2.0 series of interface cards provide easy
configuration of the card, ensuring trouble-free installation into the PC.
The PCI Plug-and-Play support (compliant with PCI spec. 2.1) guarantees that
the card is automatically configured through the system. There are no jumpers
required and no switches to set - simply plug in the card and play!
|
|
| EZ-ISDN1 Compliant |
All DIVA ISDN interface cards are certified for EZ-ISDN1
(North America only) which simplifies the ordering of ISDN lines. DIVA users
can simply call a local service provider and request EZ-ISDN1 compatible service
to set up their ISDN line.
|
|
| POTS Enabled |
The DIVA 2.0 series of interface cards are POTS enabled,
which allows these interface cards to operate with the DIVA POTS Option* allowing
the use of existing analog telephone devices, including fax machines, over the ISDN
line.
*Operates with Windows 95 only
|
|
| Full Windows Support |
The DIVA 2.0 series is available with the ISDN Software
Suite for DIVA, a CD containing all necessary software for Windows 95, Windows NT,
Windows for Workgroups 3.11 and DOS. This CD also contains Microsoftís ISDN
Accelerator Pack 1.1, Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 and NetMeeting.
|
|
| Supports Analog over ISDN |
For situations where information can only be accessed
over an analog connection, the DIVA Pro 2.0 offers remote users the flexibility
of analog communication over ISDN, via V.32bis modem emulation*. With the DIVA
Pro 2.0, data can be both received from, and sent to, a modem over ISDN, allowing
the remote user to access information from services which may not support digital
communications.
*currently only available under Windows 95. V.34bis planned
|
|
| DSP for ISDN |
The Digital Signal Processor (DSP) featured in the DIVA
Pro 2.0 is a communications processor programmed specifically for ISDN which
handles all Layer 1 protocols that would otherwise be off-loaded to the PCís CPU.
This processor ensures maximum security of data transmissions, higher speed
(33MIPS) and extensive storage capacity. As a result, it reduces the load on the
system, allowing the PC to perform faster and more efficiently.
|
|
| Rate Adaptation |
The DIVA Pro 2.0 supports connections to both V.110 (Europe)
and V.120 (North America) allowing access to on-line services.
|
|
| Group 3 and 4 FAX Support |
The DIVA Pro 2.0 provides both Group 3 and Group 4 fax
support allowing users to send a FAX over ISDN right from the desktop, using
popular applications such as Microsoft Exchange.
