The AVM System Drivers This architecture permits the simultaneous use of CAPI, modem and networking applications over ISDN. Most importantly, it also permits the definition and implementation of new, extended capabilities. Examples to date include the incorporation of V.42bis data compression and Group 3 Fax. 14.3 The AVM System Drivers AVM provides two system drivers with similar capabilities: the AVM ISDN CAPI Port Driver and the AVM NDIS WAN CAPI Driver.
AVM ISDN CAPI Port Driver AVM ISDN CAPI Port Driver The AVM ISDN CAPI Port Driver allows you to use an ISDNController as if it were a modem. The AVM ISDN CAPI Port Driver makes it possible for even programs designed for analog modems to communicate over the ISDN interface. This means that all of the various communications options of Windows can be used with all AVM ISDN-Controllers. For example, you can use Dial-Up Networking and the TCP/IP protocol to dial into your Internet Service Provider.
AVM ISDN TAPI Services for CAPI AVM ISDN TAPI Services for CAPI AVM ISDN TAPI Services for CAPI are drivers which can be used to implement TAPI applications with AVM ISDN-Controllers universally in Windows. TAPI (Telephony Application Programming Interface) is a telephony interface by Microsoft which allows telephony programs to be controlled from within the Windows operating system. Using AVM ISDN TAPI Services for CAPI, phone calls can be made or voice-mail systems controlled on the computer.
CAPI SoftFax compression for all ISDN connections so that the controller will attempt to negotiate V.42bis data compression with the remote site for all X.75 connections, independent of the CAPI application. If the remote site does not perform data compression, the data will be transmitted without compression. This process takes place in the background and is not apparent to the user. The “Changing the Settings” sections for each operating system describes how to enable or disable V.
Technical Specifications 15 Technical Specifications This chapter contains information about the connector and cable pin assignments along with an overview of the ISDNController’s features and technical specifications. 15.1 Connector Pin Assignments The ISDN-Controller is connected to the ISDN BRI by a standard RJ45 connector.

Troubleshooting 16 Troubleshooting This chapter describes general malfunctions and specific error messages, and suggests remedies. The error messages are grouped according to the operating systems in which the ISDN-Controller B1 PCI v4.0 can be operated. 16.1 General Malfunctions The AVM ISDN-Controller is not detected or not initialized.
General Malfunctions If your ISDN-Controller is connected to a point-to-point line, have you included the outside dialing prefix (usually “0”) in the numbers dialed? Are all the pertinent services (for data connections) available and enabled at your PBX? Did you specify the correct D-channel protocol for your ISDN line when installing the ISDN-Controller software? Lines installed in Europe after 1994 are generally DSS1 lines (Euro-ISDN lines). Problems during operation of the ISDN-Controller.
General Malfunctions Applications like Connect32 are unable to connect to analog dial-in ports. Only connections to ISDN remote systems are possible with your ISDN-Controller. With appropriate software such as FRITZ!fax, for example, you can connect to Group 3 (analog) fax machines. DOS and Windows drivers loaded at the same time Load either the DOS driver or the Windows driver for your AVM ISDN-Controller, not both at once. The Windows driver also supports CAPI-based DOS applications in DOS windows.
