Controller : AVM ISDN-Controller A1 v3.0 Betriebssystem : DOS Version : 3.05.10 Build : 97.08.15 README File with Installation Notes and General Notes for the AVM ISDN-Controller A1 Installation under DOS 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 The software contained on this disk can be used with the AVM ISDN-Controllers A1 version 2.0 and 3.0. 1. Installation 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 A. Preparation This disk contains the MS-DOS driver software for the AVM ISDN- Controller A1. The installation is performed by a menu-driven program. Please follow the installation instructions step by step. Before you begin, make sure that the controller card has been installed correctly in your PC, and that the jumper J1 is set to an available I/O address (please refer to the manual). Note: The AVM ISDN-Controller A1 and software are configured at the factory to the default I/O base address 300h and the interrupt level IRQ 5. Find out which ISDN D channel protocol your telecommunications provider uses at your ISDN subscriber access. The AVM ISDN-Controller A1 supports the international D channel protocol DSS1 as well as the national protocols VN3, CT1 and Austel. In all European countries DSS1 is or soon will be provided. If your country provides DSS1, choose it as your D channel protocol. As a help, see the following lists. Some countries which offer DSS1: - Norway - Sweden - Denmark - the Netherlands - Spain - Portugal - Italy - Belgium - Germany Countries which offer next to DSS1 a national D channel protocol: - France (the national D channel protocol is VN3) - Ireland (the national D channel protocol is CT1) Countries which offer only national D channel protocols: - Australia (the national D channel protocol is Austel) All driver versions supplied with the AVM ISDN-Controller provide the application interface COMMON-ISDN-API (CAPI) version 2.0. B. Installation The driver software for the AVM ISDN-Controller A1 is installed on your computer by a simple installation routine. To install the software, proceed as follows: 1. Insert the disk labeled "AVM ISDN-Controller A1, Installation DOS" in your 3 1/2" disk drive. 2. Make this drive the current drive by entering a: or b: at the DOS prompt. 3. Start the installation program by entering at the DOS prompt: a:install The installation can be aborted at any time by pressing . 4. Follow the instructions displayed on the screen. The default directory for the software driver installation is C:\IDRIVER. You may choose a different drive or directory, however. When you confirm all your entries by pressing , the installation program copies the software to the specified directory. 5. Next, indicate the D channel protocol used for your ISDN access. The default protocol is DSS1. Press the key to select the desired option, then confirm by pressing . In case you have chosen the American D channel protocol National ISDN 1 or 5ESS, enter your SPID value. The copying of the controller software to your computer can be aborted at any time by pressing . 6. This completes the installation period. The controller is now ready for use with your ISDN applications. Now you may load the driver for the AVM ISDN-Controller by entering at the DOS prompt ibase Please note that your application software must support CAPI 2.0. During the loading procedure IBASE.BAT loads a resident driver program in the PC's memory. The DOS command LOADHIGH can be used to load this driver in the memory range above 640 KB. 2. Notes 컴컴컴컴컴 Starting the AVM ISDN-Controller A1 Automatically For convenience, the driver software for the AVM ISDN-Controller A1 can be loaded automatically. To do this, the batch routine IBASE.BAT can be called from AUTOEXEC.BAT. Enter IBASE.BAT with the full path name in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 Custom Configuration If your jumper setting is different from the standard hardware configuration, run the configuration A1SETUP.EXE by entering at the DOS prompt: c: cd\idriver a1setup If you have installed the software on a drive or directory other than C:\IDRIVER, substitute the appropriate drive letter and/or directory name in the commands above. Please note, that only the AVM ISDN-Controller A1 version 3.0 supports Interrupts higher 7 and the configuration by software of interrupts with A1SETUP.EXE. For AVM ISDN-Controllers A1 version 2.0 it is necessary to set the jumper J2 to the desired interrupt and to configure the driver also by software (A1SETUP.EXE). 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 Using the AVM ISDN-Controller A1 under Microsoft Windows 3.1 With the Virtual Device Driver In order for Windows to load the 32-bit virtual device driver A1BASE.386, the DOS driver must NOT be resident in memory! If you load the DOS driver from AUTOEXEC.BAT, make sure that the driver is removed from memory using the command ibase - before Windows 3.1 is started. If you are updating an existing installation, please note that the new virtual device driver for Windows makes the command which loads the DOS driver in WINSTART.BAT obsolete. Delete the command IBASE.BAT from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 Using the AVM ISDN-Controller A1 in EISA Systems Special configuration files for installing the AVM ISDN-Controller A1 in computers with EISA bus architecture are provided on the original software disk. Installation using these configuration files is described in EISA system manual. 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 Driver updates These can be downloaded over ISDN from the AVM Data Call Center using the AVM ISDN-Tool CONNECT2. The AVM Data Call Center can be reached under the number +49-30-39 98 43 00. You will find additional informations and the current drivers on AVMs home page at http://www.avm.de. ============================================================================== Performance Characteristics of the AVM ISDN-Controller A1 With COMMON-ISDN-API Version 2.0 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 Maximum Throughput The throughput of the A1 driver, measured at Layer 3 of the ISDN B channel protocol, reaches a maximum of 63000 bits per second. With allowance for the necessary HDLC data-securing information, the theoretical maximum throughput is thus achieved. 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 Memory Requirements The memory occupied by the complete AVM ISDN driver software for the A1 controller models, with support for all ISDN D-channel and B-channel protocols and COMMON-ISDN-API, is about 120 KB. 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 Variable HDLC Block Size Data block sizes of 128 to 2048 bytes in length can be processed in the data security layer of the B channel. 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 Transparent B Channel The driver supports transparent processing of B channel data. This allows voice applications to build directly on ISDN, for example. 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 Fast and Simple Loading To be completely operational, the controller requires the files ISDNLOAD.EXE, ISDNLOAD.CFG and A1.EXE. Applications may load the driver by calling IBASE.BAT with no awareness of the underlying ISDN hardware required.
