1. General
============
This version includes the ISDN download software
V3.01 for the ix1-basic board.
and the PC driver software for Microsoft's Windows NT operating system.
The manual "ix1 Installation and Interfaces" belongs to this software.
All ix1-basic boards for the ISA- and PCI-Bus are supported
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. In order to make use of this BIN
file you can either overwrite the ix.bin file on an actual copy of the
installation diskette or you can replace the file ix.bin in directory
<WindowsNT>\system32\itk.
2. System Requirements
======================
Following system requirements must be met in order to run an ix1-basic card
under Windows NT:
PC/AT compatible computer with Windows NT 3.51 / 4.0 installed
(Windows NT 3.51 Service-Pack 4 is NOT supported !)
for ix1-basic/ISA:
1 free 16 bit ISA/EISA slot for the ix1-basic/IAS card
1 free interrupt (IRQ) selectable from the following set:
IRQ 5, 9, 10, 11
8 successive free i/o port addresses, selectable from following ranges:
-0x380-0x387
-0x388-0x38F
-0x390-0x397
-0x398-0x39F
-0x3A0-0x3A7 (Hardware Version 1.2 or later)
-0x3A8-0x3AF (Hardware Version 1.2 or later)
for ix1-basic/PCI:
1 free PCI slot for the ix1-basic/PCI
1 free interrupt (IRQ) - all possible interrupts are supported
(automatically selected by the PCI BIOS)
3 blocks of I/O port addresses (64 byte, 8 byte, 8 byte);
all addresses are supported
(automatically selected by the PCI BIOS)
3. CAPI2.0 / CAPI1.1 / CAPIplus
=================================
The Windows NT driver support exclusively the CAPI 2.0 specification on its
DLL interface. Nevertheless the "device driver" interface supports
CAPI2.0, CAPI1.1 and CAPIplus. CAPI2.0, CAPI1.1 and CAPIplus applications
can run concurrently.
The next version of the driver will support CAPI1.1 and CAPI1plus through the
CAPI2032.DLL.
The B channel protocols bit Transparent, HDLC Transparent, V.110, T.90,
ISO 8208 and FAX group 3 with 14400 bit/s are supported according to CAPI1.1
supplements.
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.
4. 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
5. 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 MS-DOS. The PC must
be rebooted under MS-DOS to start 'SETLINE'
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 <RETURN> selects 1TR6
or
SETLINE -D 3 <RETURN> selects VN3 (France)
or
SETLINE -D 8 <RETURN> selects Norway Phase 1 (Norway)
5.1 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.
6. Leased Lines
===============
The ix1 software for the ix1-basic board supports the following leased lines
within the area of the Deutsche 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(dec) (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 bundled.
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)
7. Installation and Configuration under Windows NT 4.0
======================================================
This version of the Windows NT driver set contains the NDIS WAN Miniport
for an installation on Windows NT 4.0. For this reason the installation
process slightly differs from the installation originally described in the
manual "ix1 Installation and Interfaces".
After adding the ix1-basic card to the system via the network configuration
due to the manual, you can configure some items within the driver's property
tabs. The "line" tab is not showing up with this version of the drivers
anymore, since it would not allow for any settings, anyway. Like with version
3.00 all EEPROM setting changes need to be done via the DOS utility
SETLINE.EXE.
On the other hand the "Wan Miniport" tab has been added to the ISDN card's
properties. In this tab settings that apply to remote access connections
in general can be made:
- B-Channel protocol: "HDLC Transparent" is needed for standard PPP
connections; the option "X.75" can only be used
for connections to certain destinations - it
introduces error correction mechanisms
- Own MSN: contains the multiple subscriber number that
is used on outgoing calls as calling party number;
the definition of this number is only needed for
some particular ISDN PBXs or switches
default: empty
- Accepted MSN: contains the multiple subscriber number RAS should
react to on incoming calls; the configuration of
this number becomes necessary if you want
multiple data transmitting terminal equipment to
operate on the same ISDN bus or multiple data
traffic handling applications to operate within
the same PC.
default: disabled
- Accept all MSNs: Check this option if you want RAS to accept all
incoming calls regardless of the actual called
party number
default: checked
After making all settings within the ix1-basic properties, close this
dialog with OK. A message box will appear, telling you that you now must
add the new RAS ports to the Remote Access Service. Proceed as follows:
(1) Close the message box with OK.
(2) Switch to the "Services" tab within the network configuration
(3) If the "Remote Access Service" is already installed select it from the
list of services and click on "Properties...". If it is not yet
installed proceed with step (5)
RAS service is already installed:
(4) Click on "Add..." in the RAS Setup dialog - proceed with step (8)
RAS service is not yet installed:
(5) Click on "Add..."
(6) Choose "Remote Access Service" from the list of services and click OK
(7) Windows NT installs the RAS components now from the Windows NT CD;
finally you will enter the Add dialog within RAS
(8) Select the first offered ISDN port and click OK
(9) In the RAS Setup dialog click on "Add..." (again) and select the
second ISDN port; confirm with OK.
(10) Now you can configure the just added RAS ports. Select the first
ISDN port and click "Configure..."
(11) If you want to accept incoming calls you have to select "Receive
calls only" or "Dial out and receive calls" - click OK.
(12) Only if you are running Windows NT Server you will be allowed to
configure more than one RAS port for incoming calls. In this case
proceed for the second ISDN line like explained in steps (10) and (11).
(13) Now click on "Network...". Configure all necessary network items
for RAS client and server. Refer to your Windows NT manual for more
detailed information.
(14) Close the RAS Setup dialog by pressing "continue". If you have not
entered the RAS Network screen(s), yet, all concerned configuration
screens will be opened successively, now. You will get the opportunity
to change the default settings.
(15) Finally close the network configuration with "Close". Windows NT now
updates all bindings and in the end prompts for reboot of the
system. Confirm this by pressing OK.
After restarting Windows NT the new RAS ports will be available for dial-out
within the "Dial-up Networking" program. For details concerning dial-up
networking review your Windows NT documentation.
If you are running a Windows NT Workstation as RAS server you must make
sure that the first ISDN port is configured for dial-in, not the second.
If the second was configured for dial-in by mistake, due to a conceptional
problem within Microsoft's RAS management you might get into problems
on incoming calls.
The above mentioned ISDN ports are tight to an ISDN line device each. From the
devices' names it is possible to obtain a backward reference to the respective
ISDN adapter. The ISDN device names are build the following way:
Wan<AdapterNumber><CardName>
<AdapterNumber> means the number of the network adapter, to be found in
brackets in front of the respective adapter on the adapter tab.
<CardName> stands for the name of the ISDN card, e.g. ix1basic, ix1primary.
If for instance you have one ix1-basic and one ix1-primary card in your
system the ISDN device names could be
Wan2ix1basic
Wan7ix1primary
If you are using the dial-up network in conjunction with callback, you
ought to make sure that the "RAS Server Service" is not running. Otherwise
the ISDN port that has previously been used by a callback connection
won't be released by RAS again (RAS problem). If you run into this
problem, you can stop the RAS Server Service within Control Panel -
Services. Then the ISDN port becomes available again.
8. Installation under DOS
=========================
The enclosed batch file CAPI.BAT can be called by the following parameters:
CAPI <RETURN> loads the board and the PC-driver
or
CAPI -D <RETURN> unloads the PC-driver (IXCAPI.COM)
or
CAPI ? <RETURN> gives out the instruction for CAPI.BAT
In the manual the additional parameter is not indicated.
9. Certification
================
ix1-boards with ISA- and PCI-Bus are admitted by the
"Bundesamt fⁿr Zulassungen in der Telekommunikation" (BZT) under the
numbers A103702C and D128251H.
The ISA board was 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 board has the admission number 95231B.
The ISA board has the admission number 95.0488.I.N in Switzerland, and
the PCI-board has the number 96.0600.I.N.
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).
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) If you want to run an ix1-basic card in a PC with multiple PCI bus systems
(not slots !), you must list the respective PCI bus in the Windows NT
registry database (if it's not the pre-chosen bus number 0). Please contact
the ITK support (-250) in this case.
e) 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.
f) This Driver version does not run in Multiprozessor environment. The next
Version available in April/May 97 will have this feature.
