This version of the drivers for Windows 95 support the ix1-basic boards for the ISA-, and PCI-Bus. The manual "ix1 Installation and Interfaces" belongs to this software. With a seperate download software and a fax/modem expansion, the modem operation of up to 14400 bit/s via CAPI is supported. For this the B2-protocol modem (0x0c) has to be adjusted. The bin file called "ixmodem" is available on the express server or can be downloaded from our web-server. 2. CAPI2.0 ================================= The B channel protocols bit Transparent, HDLC Transparent, T.30, modem, X.75, LAPD for D Channel X.25, T.90NL, ISO 8208 are supported according to CAPI2.0. For the protocols modem and T.30, the FAX/Modem hardware supplement is needed. 3. X.25 Support =============== This software supports the following X.25 modi: B channel: X.31 case A (no bitrate adaption) X.31 case B D Channel: X.31 case B 4. Network Protocol Variants ============================ The ix1-basic board is adjusted by default to the D-channel protocol Euro-ISDN (DSS-1). If the ix1 board is to be operated with another D channel protocol, it has to be configured appropriately with the utility 'SETLINE' under DOS. The use of SETLINE is described in the manual "ix1 Installation and Interfaces". The Euro-protocol (Euro-ISDN/NET3/DSS-1) and the protocol variants 1TR6 (Germany), VN3 (France), Norway Phase 1 (Norway), Q.931 (CCITT blue book), Cornet N, National ISDN 1, 5ESS and ECMA Q.SIG belong to the standard scope of delivery of the board software. If the protocol variant VN4 (France) is to be used, Q.931 has to be set. Especially for several TK-systems that do not support the info element "Sending Complete" in setup, there is now the protocol DSS1-TK. In the following some examples for the possible settings: SETLINE -D 0 selects 1TR6 or SETLINE -D 3 selects VN3 (France) or SETLINE -D 8 selects Norway Phase 1 (Norway) 4.1 US Network Protocol Support ===================================== This version of the driver is not able to set the SPID and Phone/Directory number for the US-protocols, so the use of US Network protocols is not possible. During April/May 97 the next release of the NT-Driver will be available that supports US Network protocols. 5. Leased Lines =============== The ix1 software for the ix1-basic board supports the following leased lines within the area of the Deutsche Bundespost Telekom a) D64S (0 D channel, 1 B channel) (is currently supported with CAPIplus only) b) DS01/TS01 (1 D channel, 1 B channel) c) DS02/TS02 (1 D channel, 2 B channels) The variant D64S2 will be supported with CAPI2.0 at the end of 97 For the different types the following line settings are to be done with the utility SETLINE: a) D64S (0 D channel, 1 B channel) Since no D channel is available, the settings referring to NT-TE side are ignored. For the bandwidth, bit 3 is set to 2x64 Kbit. Hence, for LineAccess the resulting value is 10111=23(dez) (setline -l 23) b) DS01/TS01 (1 D Channel, 1 B Channel) For regular operation the two subscribers (A and B) of the leased line have to be configured differently. Bit 2 has to be set on NT-side for A, and on TE-side for B. For the bandwidth, bit 3 is set on 2x64 Kbit. Hence, the resulting values for LineAccess are A (NT) = 00111 = 7 (setline -d 0 -l 7) B (TE) = 00011 = 3 (setline -d 0 -l 7) c) DS02/TS02 (1 D channel, 2 B channels) For regular operation the two subscribers (A and B) of the leased line have to be configured differently. Bit 2 has to be set on NT-side for A, and on TE-side for B. For the bandwidth, bit 3 is set on 2x128 Kbit, that means that the two B channels are bundeled. Hence, the resulting values for LineAccess are A (NT) = 01111 = 15(dez) (setline -d 0 -l 15) B (TE) = 01011 = 11(dez) (setline -d 0 -l 11) 6. Installation under Windows 95 ================================ The Windows95 Hardware Driver has to be installed due the Network installation. The ITK CAPI2.0 Protocol will be installed automatic. 7. Installation under DOS ========================= The enclosed batch file CAPI.BAT can be called by the following parameters: CAPI loads the board and the PC-driver or CAPI -D unloads the PC-driver (IXCAPI.COM) or CAPI ? gives out the instruction for CAPI.BAT In the manual the additional parameter is not indicated. 8. Certification ================ ix1-boards with ISA- and PCI-Bus are admitted by the "Bundesamt für Zulassungen in der Telekommunikation" (BZT) under the numbers A103702C and D128251H. ISA- boards were admitted under the CE-number CE 0167X in Belgium, Denmark, UK, Finland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Austria, Portugal, Spain, and Sweden. The PCI-board was admitted in the countries mentioned above under the number CE 0560X. In France ISA-boards have the admission number 95231B. The ISA board has the admission number 95.0488.I.N in Switzerland, the The admissions were given for Point-to-Multipoint-, Point-to-Point- (NT1-) connections and for leased lines. Further information can be inquired at our product support (-250). 9. ix1-basic PCI support ========================= This software version supports the ix1-basic PCI board. The following system requirements are needed for the ix1-basic PCI: * 1 free PCI slot for ix1-basic PCI * 1 free interrupt (IRQ) from the following ones: ix1-basic PCI supports all the available interrupts * 3 blocks of port addresses (64 Byte,8Byte and 8Byte) all the possible addresses are supported 10. Problems / Remarks / History ================================ a) The Fax/Modem expansion is recognized automatically with this version. Hence, the utility SETFAX is not needed anymore. With the utility RDEEPROM the current configuration can be inquired. b) Referring to the compression, the present version is NOT compatible with former versions! Data connections between the current version and an older version work uncompressedly. c) The current download file needs the enclosed bootfile ixboot.scr. d) In the version 3.0 it can come to a misbehavior of the board software at simultaneous fax and non-fax connections. This problem is repaired in the present version. Dortmund, March 7th, 1997
