Using AVM ISDN TAPI Services for CAPI, phone calls can be made or voice-mail systems controlled on the computer.
How Does FRITZ!Card Work 5 How Does FRITZ!Card Work This chapter provides basic information about FRITZ!Card on the ISDN line and the way an ISDN-Controller functions. 5.1 FRITZ!Card on the ISDN Line When your ISDN access is configured, the ISDN provider installs a network terminator (NT) first. An NT is equipped with two ISDN jacks. Each of these sockets is an external S0 interface.
FRITZ!Card on the ISDN Line NT SO SO ISDN phone with analog extensions SO PBX Computer with FRITZ!Card Analog phone with answering machine Cordless phone Fax Typical configuration of a point-to-multipoint ISDN line Some PBX systems provide both analog and digital extensions. ISDN terminal devices may be connected directly to these digital extensions. Digital extensions are also known as “internal S0 interfaces” as they present an alternative to external S0 interfaces.
How Does an ISDN-Controller Work? 5.2 How Does an ISDN-Controller Work? An ISDN-Controller serves as the connection between ISDN and your computer. The ISDN cable supplied connects to the S0 bus and thus to the local exchange of the telephone network. Any telecommunication service, for instance Internet, Fax G3 or telephony, is implemented using “protocols”. Protocols stpulate the procedures used for data transmission between the subscribers.
