ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6. Controlling the Speaker Volume ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Controlling the Speaker Volume
The speaker ON/OFF state is controlled with the ATM command, and the speaker
volume is controlled with the ATL command. The Speaker pull-down provides
another convenient method to control the speaker volume. If the speaker is ON,
the volume can be set to High, Medium, Low, or Very Low.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7. Configuring a Driver ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Configuring a Driver
The Actions pull-down is used to display the options you may select when
configuring a driver. The Actions pull-down can be displayed only when the
driver has been activated and may include options such as changing the driver
configuration or the driver phone number discrimination.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8. Call Overrides ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Call Overrides
An ISDN phone number will be assigned one of three grades of service: CSV/D
will support voice and data calls; CSD will support only data calls; and CSV
will support only voice calls. A digital driver will treat a voice call like a
56-kbps data call. The call is identified only as voice to the ISDN.
Outgoing calls:
Use the Change Phone Number Discrimination option to enable a phone number to
place outgoing calls. A uses an enabled CSD or CSV/D phone number for data
calls or an enabled CSV or CSV/D phone number for voice band data modem calls.
A driver will place outgoing calls as follows:
1. It will use a CSD- or CSV/D-enabled phone number to place a 64-kbps data
call.
2. If the call leaves the ISDN, it will drop back to 56 kbps.
3. If the call is rejected because the called party does not support 64 kbps,
it will retry the call as a 56-kbps data call.
4. If the call is rejected because the called party does not support 56-kbps,
it will use a CSV- or CSV/D-enabled phone number to retry the call as a
voice call.
If the only enabled phone number is a CSD phone number, step 4 will not be
attempted. If the only enabled phone number is a CSV phone number, only step 4
will be attempted.
The ISDN does not always specify why a call is rejected. In these cases the
driver will not retry the call. The Overrides pull-down provides a method to
specify how a call is placed. The driver will start at step 3 if the selection
is Place Calls Out as 56-kbps. The driver will use only step 4 if the
selection is Place Calls Out as Voice.
Incoming calls:
If the phone number is a CSD phone number, the ISDN will not deliver voice
calls. If the phone number is a CSV phone number, the ISDN will not deliver
data calls. The network, not the digital driver, rejects the calls.
Use the Change Phone Number Discrimination option to determine which incoming
calls will be answered. The ISDN will identify the call as a 64-kbps call, a
56-kbps call, or a voice call.
On rare occasions the ISDN might identify a 56-kbps call as a 64-kbps call.
All data exchanges will fail since the two parties are using different speeds.
The Overrides pull-down provides a method to force an incoming call to 56 kbps.
If the selection is "Force Calls In to 56 kbps", all incoming 64-kbps calls
will be treated as 56-kbps calls.
Warning: Use this selection with extreme caution. If the call really is a
64-Kbps call, all data exchanges will be corrupted.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9. Minimizing ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Minimizing
Minimize the driver window by clicking on the minimize button in the upper
right-hand corner of the window.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 10. Modem Driver ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Modem Driver
The modem driver enables any standard communications or terminal emulation
application that interfaces to a COMM port and uses the standard AT command set
for setting up calls. The Modem driver enables communications with any
standard modem or with another ISDN Data/Fax Modem using the Modem driver.
The ISDN or Analog Modem is a standard, Hayes AT Command-compatible modem. It
can be configured for three different maximum speeds; a 2400-bps and below
modem (V.22bis, Bell 212A, Bell 103, V.21), a 14400-bps and below modem
(V.32bis), and a 28800-bps and below modem (V.34 for the PCMCIA Analog Modem).
The modem loaded is determined by the configuration pull-down. The Modem
option is also capable of Microcom* networking protocol (MNP*) class 4 or V.42
error correction and MNP class 5 or V.42bis data compression.
Note: The higher speed modems use more of the ISDN Adapter resources. If you
are trying to run another ISDN application concurrently with the modem, you may
need to load a lower speed modem.
The ISDN Data/Fax Modem adapter appears as a modem to your communication
applications. Such communication applications do not usually know whether the
modem is internal or external to the personal computer system. Communication
applications depend on the user to turn the modem on and to select which serial
port should be used to access the modem. You can select any one of the serial
port values from COM 1 through COM 4 as the ISDN Data/Fax ModemТs COMM port.
Note: Always start the modem before attempting to use the COMM port, and use
COM 1 or COM 2 when possible. All applications may not be compatible with
higher COMM ports.
Before you begin your communication application, start the ISDN Data/Fax Modem
driver. To start the modem driver:
1. Click on the Modem icon in the ISDN Data/Fax Modem group window. The Modem
window will appear and a message indicating that the modem is ready will
display in the Status Message field.
Note: You can monitor the driver through the LED Indicators that appear in
the driver window.
2. If you want to change the configuration of the modem, select Actions from
the Modem window. Then, select Configuration to change the modem speed or
select Speaker Volume to change the speaker control features.
3. When you have finished selecting the options you want to use with your
modem, minimize the Modem window. Do not close the window. Closing the
Modem window is effectively the same as turning the modem off, and will
therefore prevent you from using your communication application.
Your modem is now started and ready to use with your communication application.
Refer to COMM Port Overview for a listing of applications that can be run with
the ISDN Data/Fax
Modem. For information on configuration help, select Change Phone Number
Discrimination
Note: When you have finished using the modem, turn it off. You must do this
before loading any other application drivers for the ISDN Data/Fax Modem. To
turn the modem driver off, close the Modem window.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 11. V.120 Driver ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
V.120 Driver
The V.120 option enables higher data rates with standard communications or
terminal emulation applications that interface to a COMM port and use the
standard AT command set for setting up calls. Communications can be
established with other ISDN adapters that support V.120 protocol at data rates
up to 64 000 bps.
The V.120 protocol is a popular synchronous data protocol used in ISDN
communications. It supports data rates up to the line speed of the ISDN line,
56 Kbps or 64 Kbps. The V.120 protocol is used to enable applications designed
for asynchronous communications to use the synchronous 64 000-bps rate
available with an ISDN line. V.120 can be run in error-correction mode
(Multiframe Mode enabled) or non-error- correction mode (Multiframe Mode
disabled). Non-error-correction mode is sometimes referred to as UI mode.
V.120 presents the same interface, a Communications (COMM) port, to the
Communications application as a Hayes-compatible modem; however, the ISDN
Data/Fax Modem does not support Hayes* extensions to the AT command set for
V.120.
Note: The V.120 driver should be turned on before activating the communication
application you use, and when you have finished, turn the V.120 driver off so
other drivers can be loaded.

Tips for Communicating Using V.120
To start the V.120 Driver:
1. Click on the V.120 Driver icon in the ISDN Data/Fax Modem group window.
The V.120 Driver window will appear. A message indicating that the V.120
Driver is ready will display in the Status Message field of the V.120
Driver window.
Note: You can monitor the driver through the LED Indicators that appear in
the driver window.
2. If you want to change the configuration of the V.120 Driver, select Actions
from the V.120 Driver window. Then, select Configuration to change the
V.120 configuration parameters or select Speaker Volume to change the
speaker control features.
Note: Use of the default settings is recommended. Advanced users may want
to modify some of these settings to optimize performance for a specific
environment. Several options that may require frequent changes are placed
in a separate group of Override options for easier access.
3. When you have finished selecting the options you want to use with your
V.120 Driver, minimize the V.120 Driver window. Do not close the window.
Closing the V.120 window is the same as turning the driver off, and will
prevent you from using your communication application.
Your driver is now started and ready to use with your communication
application.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 12. V42bis Compression ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
V42bis Compression Over V.120
The V.120 Driver, by default, supports V42bis. V42bis is an ITU-T standard for
data compression. Negotiation between two stations for compression is carried
out over the B-channel via an XID frame. Successful negotiation for V42bis at
64 Kbps results in a "CONNECT 64000 ECLC" message (error correcting link with
compression).
Some V.120 Terminal Adapters may not support compression or the XID frame. As
a result, calls may fail to establish a connection. If you experience
difficulty connecting calls with compression On, disable V42bis with the AT
command "Hn. For more information, see "H V.42bis Conpression Control.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13. Tips Communicating with V.120 ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Tips for Communicating using V.120:
The following information provides tips for communicating using V.120 with
other manufactures' terminal adapters:
If you are unable to maintain a connection:
If the adapter is in the answering machine and you get a "CONNECT" message then
a "NO CARRIER" message before sending any data, increase the value of the
retransmission timer (T200) on the first V.120 configuration panel. Usually
increasing it to 2 seconds is enough to establish the connection.
If File Transfer starts, but doesn't complete successfully:
If a file transfer fails after data has been received successfully, decrease
the window size (K) on the transmitting machine. Typically 3 (the default) is
a good window size.
General Communications:
If experiencing other problems, make sure that the transmitter and receiver
have their V.120 window size (K) and data field size (N201) set to the same
values. This would probably be seen as a buffer overrun error (data being
transferred to the screen instead of the specified file). Set the COMM Port
speeds to the same value, or decrease the transmitter's speed.
Set both Terminal Adapters for Multiframe Mode. (second V.120 panel).
ISDN speeds can only be achieved through the aid of a COMM Port accelerator.
Some applications, such as SmartCom or HyperAccess, may include one of their
own. If the application you use does not provide a COMM Port accelerator,
install one such as KingCom.
Zmodem File Transfers:
When using the Zmodem file transfer protocol, change the window size option to
4K (4096). This will reduce occurrences of bad "CRCs" and improve performance.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 14. Hints and Tips for Improving Performance ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Hints and Tips for Improving V.120 Performance
If there are two phone numbers associated with the ISDN line, make sure that
you are configuring the correct phone number. Refer to the Call Overrides
section for an explanation of which phone number is used for outgoing calls.
Unable to maintain a connection.
Symptom: V.120 is the answering machine and you get a CONNECT message followed
by a NO CARRIER message before any data has been sent.
Solution: Increase the value of the Retransmission Timer (T200) on the V.120
configuration panel. Usually, increasing it to 2 seconds is enough
to establish the connection.
File transfer starts, but doesn't complete successfully.
Symptom: File transfer fails after data has been received successfully.
Solution: Decrease the Window Size (K) on the transmitting machine. A value of
3 (the default value) is a good window size.
General V.120 communications problems.
Symptom: Overrun errors and other communications problems.
Solution: Insure that the transmitter and receiver have their V.120 Window Size
(K) and Data Field Size (N201) set to the the same values. Set the
COMM port speeds to the same value or decrease the transmitter's
speed. Set both Terminal Adapters for Multiframe Mode.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 15. V.120/Modem Driver ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
V.120/Modem Driver
The V.120/Modem option enables you to take full advantage of the flexibility of
ISDN by combining the V.120 and modem drivers. This option is intended for
answering incoming calls when you don't know who might be calling. It will
make the connection using the high-speed V.120 function whenever possible, but
it will automatically fall back to the lower speed modem option if necessary to
complete the connection.
If you have two different telephone numbers assigned to your ISDN line, you can
associate one of those numbers with the modem option and the other with the
V.120 option. The desired driver will be activated once the ISDN Port Monitor
detects which of the two numbers is being called. If you only have one phone
number assigned to your ISDN line, you must request CSV/D (Circuit Switched
Voice and Data) service for that number. This means that the telephone company
can process both voice and data calls to the same telephone number. With this
option, the V.120/Modem driver will make the high-speed V.120 connection
whenever possible, but will use the modem function if the telephone network
sends a message that indicates that the high-speed digital connection is not
available.
V.120 presents the same interface, a Communications (COMM) port, to the
Communications application as a Hayes-compatible modem; however, the ISDN
Data/Fax Modem does not support Hayes* extensions to the AT command set for
V.120.
Note: All of the applications listed in COMM Port Overview can be used with
the V.120/Modem driver. The V.120/Modem driver should be turned on before
activating the communication application you use, and when you have finished,
turn the V.120/Modem driver off so other drivers can be loaded.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 17. HDLC Async-to-Sync ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
HDLC Async-to-Sync Driver
The HDLC - ASYNC to SYNC Converter enables an HDLC/Async Communications
Application, such as LAN Distance, to communicate synchronously over an ISDN
line. The combination of the ISDN Data/Fax Modem and the LAN Distance software
allows a remote user to access the same LAN applications available to a locally
LAN-attached terminal. The 64 000 bps throughput of the ISDN results in
terminal response times almost as fast as a locally attached terminal.
The LAN Distance* application, configured to use Asynchronous Encapsulation of
HDLC to the Communications (COMM) Port, can use the converter to communicate
with a synchronous IBM LAN Distance Server. The HDLC Async-to-Sync Converter
presents the same interface, a Communications (COMM) Port, to the HDLC/Async
application as a Hayes AT Command-compatible modem. Always start the HDLC
Async-to-Sync Driver before attempting to use the COMM port, and when you have
finished, turn the driver off so other drivers can be loaded.
Note: When using this driver, the LAN Distance Program must use the
Asynchronous encapsulation of HDLC to the COMM Port of your personal computer
system. The device with which you are communicating must appear as a standard
synchronous interface to the LAN Distance Server.
The HDLC driver should be turned on before activating the LAN Distance program.
When you have finished, turn the HDLC driver off so other drivers can be
loaded.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 18. TCP/IP Driver ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
TCP/IP Driver
The transmission control protocol/internet protocol (TCP/IP) option enables
TCP/IP applications with serial line Internet protocol (SLIP) COMM Port drivers
to connect to TCP/IP networks at data rates up to 64 000 bps. The control
characters associated with a SLIP COMM Port driver are removed and the Internet
Protocol (IP) data packets can be encapsulated using HDLC or RFC 1294, to
communicate with other ISDN adapter cards or routers that support TCP/IP at
ISDN speeds.
Note: When using this driver, the TCP/IP application you use must have a SLIP
driver interface to the COMM Port of your PC, but the device with which you are
communicating must present the appearance of a standard synchronous interface.
The TCP/IP SLIP-to-Sync Converter presents the same interface (a COMM port) to
the TCP/IP application as a Hayes compatible modem. Always start the TCP/IP
SLIP-to-Sync Driver before attempting to use the COMM port, and when you have
finished, turn the V.120/Modem driver off so other drivers can be loaded.
TCP/IP SLIP-to-HDLC Encapsulation:
The Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) defines a technique to transfer TCP/IP
data packets between two asynchronous devices, typically modems.
The TCP/IP SLIP-to-Sync Converter allows a TCP/IP application that supports
SLIP to communicate with a synchronous TCP/IP device. The converter, running
on the adapter, removes the control characters associated with SLIP and
transmits the IP data packets at a 56-kbps or 64-kbps data rate.
The TCP/IP SLIP-to-Sync Converter presents the same interface, a Communications
(COMM) port, to the TCP/IP application as a Hayes-compatible modem. Always
start the TCP/IP SLIP-to-Sync Driver before attempting to use the COMM port,
and when you have finished, turn the driver off so other drivers can be loaded.
TCP/IP SLIP-to-RFC1294 Encapsulation:
The Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) defines a technique to transfer TCP/IP
data packets between two asynchronous devices, typically modems.
The TCP/IP SLIP-to-Sync Converter allows a TCP/IP application that supports
SLIP to communicate with a synchronous TCP/IP device. The converter, running
on the adapter, removes the control characters associated with SLIP and
transmits the IP data packets encapsulated with RFC1294 (RFC1490 -- see the
following note) framing at a 56-kbps or 64-Kbps data rate.
Note: RFC1294 has been replaced by RFC1490. The term RFC1294 will continue to
be used due to historical significance.

cable attached.
Interface Status:
The ISDN Data/Fax Modem's main windows contains status indicators. These
interface stauts indicators are described in Modem LED Indicators. When a
status indicator light is green, the indicator is On. When the light is black,
the indicator is OFF.
In addition to the status indicators, the modem user interface provides status
about the state of the connection to the remote modem. The following states are
indicated on the user interface:
Ready No connection exists.
Dialing A dial command has been issued but a connection has not been
completed.
Negotiating The remote modem has answered and the modems are attempting to
negotiate a connection.
Connect The two modems have completed negotiation and a connection has
been achieved.
When the status is Connect, additional status about the connection is given.
The values given are:
Speed: The line speed of the connection. Typically this is 14400,
9600, 2400, 1200, or 300 bps. A value of 16800, 19200,
21600, 24000, 26400, and 28000 may also appear for the
Data/Fax PCMCIA ISDN or Analog Modem.
Error Correction: MNP, V.42, or blank (for an asynchronous connection).
Compression: MNP 5, V.42bis, or blank for no compression.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 23. Blocks Received in Error with Zmodem File Transfer ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Blocks Received in Error with Zmodem File Transfer
Normally with an error-correcting protocol like MNP 4 or V.42, a user would
expect that no frame would be received in error when using a file transfer
protocol like Zmodem or Ymodem. However, the modem can be delivering data to
the PC so fast that it overruns buffers in the PC and makes it appear to Zmodem
that a data block has been received in error.
You can solve the problem by getting a more efficient communications program or
a faster PC. You can also solve the problem by using hardware flow control.
Set your application to use hardware flow control and then use the "AT\Q3"
command to turn on hardware flow control in the modem. The advantage of
hardware flow control is that it can compensate for slow or overloaded PCs and
for inefficient applications and will guarantee that no data is lost. The
disadvantage is that you may receive data at a slower rate because the modem is
forced to wait for the PC and the communications software.
If you use hardware flow control, make sure that you set your PC communications
program to use hardware flow control.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 24. Low Throughput When Transmitting or Receiving a File ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Low Throughput When Transmitting or Receiving a File
In your PC the UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) is the piece
of hardware that connects your PC to your modem. Communications software talks
to a OS/2 COM driver that in turn talks to the UART hardware. The standard COM
driver that comes with OS/2, however, does not take advantage of the
16-byte-deep 16550A UART FIFO. It puts only 2 bytes in the FIFO instead of 16.
You can purchase drivers for OS/2 that will fix this problem. SIO.SYS, one such
product, is available as shareware from the IBM PC Company Bulletin Board
Service at (919) 517-0001. Search for SIO145 and download this shareware
version. When you install the driver you will be presented with a registration
screen.
A driver of this type is highly recommended for all operations at 14400 bps
(also know as V.32bis) or higher speeds.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 25. MNP 5 Versus V.42bis Performance ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
MNP 5 versus V.42bis Performance
If you are getting an MNP5 connection, and you are transferring already
compressed files (such as "ZIP" files), you can improve performance by
disabling MNP5 with the "AT%C0" command. MNP5 will expand compressed files and
will slow down throughput. V.42bis will not slow down throughput for any kind
of file transfer.
You can disable MNP 5 with the "AT%C0" command.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 26. MNP 4 Versus V.42 Perforance ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
MNP 4 versus V.42bis Performance
Use MNP 4 instead of V.42 to improve throughput. The MNP4 protocol is 2% more
efficient than the V.42 protocol. The advantage of V.42 over MNP is that it
can do selective packet rejection. The ISDN Data/Fax Modem currently does not
support selective packet rejection. Thus, for the ISDN Data/Fax Modem, MNP 4
is always a marginally better performer.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 27. Tele Gaming ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Tele-Gaming
If you are using your ISDN Data/Fax Modem for tele-gaming, we recommend the
initialization string: "AT&F\N0." Most tele-games send tiny packets back and
forth and expect a response from each packet. Using an error-correcting
protocol like MNP or V.42 can add latency in a tele-gaming scenario that will
bring performance of the game down considerably. With asynchronous data links
(non-error corrected links), latency is reduced significantly.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 28. Call Waiting ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Call Waiting
Many local telephone companies offer a call waiting service that informs you
when a call is coming in when you are already using the phone line. You
normally hear a beep in the middle of a conversation.
This service can cause the modem to have low throughput, errors, and even to
disconnect. When using the modem, disable call waiting. Contact your local
phone company to determine how to disable call waiting. However, it is
generally done on a per-call basis by preceding your dialing digits with the
digits "*70". So, if you want to set up a dialing string that also disables
call waiting, try "ATDT*70,555-1212" where "555-1212" is the number of the
remote computer to which you wish to connect. Commas between "*70" and
"555-1212" cause the dialer to pause a few seconds to make sure that the line
is ready for the rest of the dialing digits.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 29. Seeing Double ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Seeing "Double"
If you see double what you type, you need to change the setup of your
communications program. Turn local echo off or set it for full-duplex mode.
Refer to the documentation for your communications program to learn how to do
this.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 31. Issuing AT Commands ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Issuing AT Commands
After you have started the Data/Fax Modem by double-clicking the appropriate
icon, it enters the "command state." It is then ready to accept AT commands.
The modem returns to "command state" whenever a connection is broken. This
would be the case when the other end hangs up or you issue an ATH0 command.
When a "D" (Dial) or "A" (Answer) command is processed, the modem enters the
"online" state unless the command ends in the ";" (semicolon) character. In
the online state, all characters sent to the modem are transmitted to the
computer at the other end of the phone line.
Note: If you need to issue AT commands while in the "online" state, you can
enter the sequence "+++". Your modem will respond with "OK" and you may enter
AT commands. The connection remains intact, but you are in "command state."
To go back to "online" state, enter "ATO."
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 32. Command Syntax Overview ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Command Syntax Overview
For each AT command, a syntax description will be given. In that description,
the following conventions are used.
The command prefix is "AT". This is distinct from the command itself.
An ellipsis, "...", may be replaced by any valid command or command sequence.
"[CR]" is a carriage return.
A bold face "n" represents a numeric value. A table will follow the syntax
description indicating valid values for "n".
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 33. Dialing Differences for ISDN ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Dialing Differences for ISDN
Calls sent over an ISDN are handled differently than calls sent over an analog
network. For this reason, you may notice that some dialing modifiers work
differently than they work on your analog modem. This is because all dialed
digits are sent to the digital network in one block rather than one at a time.
The number to be used when making the network connection is sent on one of two
conditions:
1. The end of a dialed string is reached.
2. A delay of 1 second longer than the greater of S8 and S11 has occurred
since the last-received dialed digit. (See S-Register Values for
information on S8 and S11.)
Subsequent digits will be sent out on the B-Channel as dual-tone modulation
frequency (DTMF) tones for user applications, but will not be used to make a
connection.
The differences in dialing might affect the operation of the following dial
modifiers:
P, T ISDN uses digital call establishment techniques, so neither pulse nor
DTMF dialing is applicable. For both dialing modes, DTMF tones are
generated to help you know how your call is progressing. After the call
has been connected, DTMF tones are sent across the line for use by
automated menu-driven devices that can detect DTMF tones.
@,W The digits succeeding these modifiers will not be sent out for 1 second
longer than the greater of S8 or S11 after the preceding digits. The
wait associated with the modifier will include this delay.
, If multiple waits are used in succession and the total wait time is
greater than 1 second longer than the greater of S8 and S11, the digits
preceding the wait will be used to make the call. Subsequent digits
will go out across the line if a connection is made. Otherwise, they
will be lost.
If dialed digits are put between the ',' modifiers, the delay is reset
after each digit.
! This modifier is not supported and will return an ERROR.
* This modifier is used to denote the subaddress of the number you are
dialing. The numbers after the * will be recognized as the subaddress.
In order for the * to denote the subaddress, it can not be the first
digit in the dialing string. For example, in order for the numbers
after the * to be recognized as the subaddress, it should be placed as
follows: 919-555-1234*7704.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 76. \Q: Flow Control ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
\Q Flow Control
The \Q command selects the flow-control method that your modem provides to your
application. This prevents applications from losing data if the application
cannot extract data from the modem as fast as it is being transmitted by the
remote end of the communications link.
Note: CTS Flow control is not used in the modem because it is not possible to
overrun Mwave internal buffers. Applications can specify CTS hardware flow
control, but the modem will never drop CTS because internal receive overruns
cannot happen in the modem.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 81. %E: Fast Rate Renegotiation Control ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
%E Fast Rate Renegotiation Control
The %E command controls the modem's response to a change in line quality and to
requests for retrain or fallback/fall forward by the other end. This command
affects only V.32bis and V.34. When %E2 is active, the modem monitors the line
quality. When line quality is insufficient to sustain the current connect
speed, the modem will initiate a rate renegotiation to a lower speed within the
V.32bis modulation speeds (4800, 7200, 9600, 12,000, and 14,400 bps). The
modem will keep falling back as needed until the speed reaches 4800 bps. If
the line quality deteriorates further while connected at 4800 bps, the modems
will hangup the telephone line.
If the quality of the line increases, the modem will initiate a rate
renegotiation to a higher speed if the modem currently has a V.32bis connection
with the modem at the other end of the phone line. The rate renegotiation will
be done without a retrain in this case.
The modem will not increase the line speed if the modem is connected via V.32
to the other end of the phone line. Fall forward via Fast Rate Renegotiation
is not supported in the V.32 specification.

System Interrupt
Each device used by a computer must use a unique Interrupt Request Level (IRQ)
selection to allow communication between the device and the system unit. A
device is defined as any adapter, fixed disk drive controller, printer,
monitor, or other such hardware being used by the computer. Incorrect
operation may occur if two devices being used by the computer have the same IRQ
value.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 162. Channel Timing ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Channel Timing
The channel timing parameter defines when the ISDN Data/Fax Modem's I/O channel
ready signal will be generated. The channel timing parameter allows the ISDN
Data/Fax Modem to be compatible with different implementations of the ISA
architecture.
The value for the channel timing parameter should only be changed if your are
experiencing random errors or if the system fails with the switch in the Off
(default) position.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 163. COMM ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
COMM
The COMM port (or Serial Port) is one of the ways in which your personal
computer system communicates. COMM port designations are assigned to serial
ports or to internal devices. For example, if you have a personal computer
system with only one serial port, by default that serial port would be assigned
a COM 1 port designation.
For more information on the various COMM port related settings, click on each
of the following:
Disable
Enable
Port (I/O Address) Interrupt
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 164. COMM Disable ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
COMM Disable
This switch selection allows you to disable the COMM port.
Note: The COMM port switch must be enabled to run applications that
communicate with the ISDN Data/Fax Modem through the COMM port.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 165. COMM Enable ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
COMM Enable
This switch selection allows you to enable the COMM port.
Note: The COMM port switch must be enabled to run applications that
communicate with the ISDN Data/Fax Modem through the COMM port.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 166. COMM Port ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
COMM Port
Many peripheral devices communicate with the system unit through communications
ports (COMM ports). Each device must be configured to use a unique COMM port.
Improper operation will result when multiple devices are assigned to the same
COMM port.
COMM port configuration conflicts often involve other modems or on-board serial
ports. If such a conflict occurs and the devices in conflict cannot be
assigned another COMM port, then a device must be disabled or removed in order
to use the ISDN Data/Fax Modem.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 167. COMM Interrupt ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
COMM Interrupt
This parameter determines the interrupt level used for the COMM port. The
linterrupt level used is dependent on the selected COMM port.
Each device using a COMM port must be assigned a uniqe interrupt level. It is
standard to use the following COMM port and COMM Interrupt (IRQ) combinations:
COMM Port 1 and COMM IRQ 4
COMM Port 2 and COMM IRQ 3
COMM Port 3 and COMM IRQ 4
COMM Port 4 and COMM IRQ 3
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 168. DMA ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
DMA
Direct memory access (DMA) allows the transfer of data between memory and
input/output units without processor intervention. This method is necessary to
support the high data speeds of the ISDN Data/Fax Modem.
For more information on the various DMA settings, click on each of the
following:
Channel
Acknowledge
Re-request Timer
Byte/Word
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 169. Channel ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
DMA Channel
The Direct Memory Access (DMA) channel is used by an adapter to transfer
information between system memory and the adapter. Each adapter that uses DMA
must be assigned a unique DMA channel. Multiple adapters attempting to use the
same DMA channel will result in incorrect operation of each adapter.
If each possible DMA channel for the ISDN Data/Fax Modem is already in use, one
of the other adapters in the system must have it's DMA channel changed to
another DMA channel or be removed. Otherwise, the ISDN Data/Fax Modem cannot
be used.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 170. DMA Acknowledge ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
DMA Acknowledge
Note: This parameter applies to Rev B. Data/Fax Modem Cards only. In most
cases, you will not need to change this parameter from its default value.
On certain ISA computers, the timing of the DMA Acknowledge signal can cause
the computer to hang when the computer is powered ON. If you are experiencing
trouble with the computer hanging, change this parameter from its current
setting to its alternate value. The possible settings are Gated and Normal.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 171. DMA Re-request Timer ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
DMA Re-request Timer
This parameter determines the amount of time the ISDN Data/Fax Modem waits
between the completion of a DMA cycle and the request of another DMA transfer.
If a problem is encountered when using the ISDN Data/Fax Modem in a personal
computer with a 60 MHz or greater processor, changing this value may correct
the problem.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 172. DMA Byte/Word ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
DMA Byte/Word
Most personal computers use 16-bit memory mapping for DMA. If your personal
computer uses 8-bit memory mapping, you must change the value for the DMA
Byte/Word parameter.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 173. ISDN Port Status ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
ISDN Port Status
The Status Messages box in the Port Monitor window displays messages that allow
you to monitor the ISDN port. The status of any calls placed or received is
shown in the Status Messages box. For example, you will see messages when a
call is connected or disconnected, or if it is rejected. You will also see
any warning or error messages in the Status Messages box.
When you see a message in the Status messages box, you can view more detailed
information about that message by viewing the information in ISDN Port Status
Messages.
In addition to the ISDN Port Status Messages, the ISDN Port Status Indicators
are used to monitor the overall status of the ISDN Port on a per-channel basis.
There is an LED for each of the following conditions:
LA - Line Active Indicator:
This indicator is turned on when the ISDN Digital Modem has determined that the
ISDN physical connection to the NT1 is correct. It is important to note that
this indicator does not guarantee that in all cases the connection from the
telephone jack to the NT1 is correct. On some networks this indicator will not
be active until a call attempt is made.
D-Channel Active Indicator:
This indicator is turned on when the signaling protocols have been completed on
the D-Channel. Some networks require terminal initialization procedures that
must also be completed before this indicator becomes active.
Note: These values may be exchanged with the network as soon as the ISDN Port
Monitor is activated, or they may be exchanged when either the first call has
been placed or the first call has been received.
B1 Channel Active Indicator
B2 Channel Active Indicator
These indicators are turned on when calls are active on the corresponding ISDN
B-Channels.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 174. ISDN Port Status Messages ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Verify Switch Type Configuration.
This message should follow a more detailed indication of a problem (for
example, WN10: SPID initialization ignored). The Switch Type configured should
be verified if initialization warnings persist.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 176. ISDN Port Status Messages - Initialization ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Initialization Messages
These messages correspond to the ISDN initialization. They are useful to
determine whether the configuration options selected during installation are
correct.
Run the configuration option to correct any incorrect parameters and select ON
to activate the ISDN Port Monitor application.
IN01: TEI Initialized DN1
IN02: TEI Initialized DN2
This message appears when the ISDN Port Monitor has successfully requested and
received an Automatic (Dynamic) Terminal Endpoint Identifier (TEI) for the
corresponding Directory Number (DN) or Phone Number configured.
When the TEI is Fixed (Static), this message will appear automatically as there
is no need to request a TEI value from the network. The value is provided when
you subscribe to ISDN service.
IN03: SPID Initialized DN1
IN05: SPID Initialized DN2
This message appears when the network has successfully responded to the Service
Profile Identifier (SPID) configured for the corresponding Directory Number
(DN) or Phone Number. In this case, the successful response from the network
indicates that the SPID value will not be used.
IN04: SPID Initialized DN1
IN06: SPID Initialized DN2
This message appears when the network has successfully responded to the Service
Profile Identifier (SPID) configured for the corresponding Directory Number
(DN) or Phone Number.
IN07: Network Attempted TEI Init
This message appears when the ISDN Port Monitor receives a message from the
network attempting to initialize the given Terminal Endpoint Identifier (TEI).
Possible Problem: If the given TEI value is 64 or greater, the network is
attempting to initialize the Automatic (Dynamic) TEI value
shown, and this message is informational only. If the given
TEI value is less than 64, the network is attempting to
initialize the Fixed (Static) TEI value shown, which is not
the same value as the current Fixed (Static) TEI configured.
If this message persists, this could indicate that the
configured Fixed (Static) TEI value is incorrect.
Possible Fix: Verify that the configured Fixed (Static) TEI value is correct
using the information provided by the telephone company. If
this information is unavailable, try configuring for the Fixed
(Static) TEI value shown in the message.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 177. ISDN Port Status Warnings - Initialization ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Initialization Warnings
These messages correspond to the ISDN initialization. They are useful to
determine whether the configuration options selected during installation are
correct.
WN01: TEI Establish Failed DN1
WN02: TEI Establish Failed DN2
This message appears when the ISDN Port Monitor has requested an Automatic
(Dynamic) Terminal Endpoint Identifier (TEI) for the corresponding Directory
Number (DN) or Phone Number from the network and the network has not responded
to the request.
Possible Problem: This condition can occur when the ISDN Digital Modem is
configured for Automatic (Dynamic) TEI and the ISDN line is
Fixed (Static) TEI. Another potential problem may be in the
physical connection.
Possible Fix: First, verify that the TEI type configured is correct. If
this has been verified, check the complete physical
connection.
WN03: ISDN Establish Failed
This message appears when the ISDN Port Monitor has attempted to establish a
protocol connection with the network and the network is not responding.
Possible Problem: This condition can occur when the ISDN Digital Modem is
configured for Fixed (Static) TEI and the ISDN line is
Automatic (Dynamic) TEI or if the Fixed TEI value configured
is incorrect. Another potential problem may be in the
physical connection.
Possible Fix: First, verify that the TEI type has been configured correctly.
Second, in the case of Fixed TEI, check that the TEI value
configured is correct. Last, check the complete physical
connection.
WN04: TEI Removed DN1
WN05: TEI Removed DN2
This message appears when the ISDN Port Monitor receives a message from the
network indicating that the Terminal Endpoint Identifier (TEI) has been removed
and is no longer valid.
In the case of Automatic (Dynamic) TEI Type, this warning may occur when a
modem application is closed and opened again. In this case, the messages
following this one should indicate that the TEI has been reestablished.
Possible Problem: If the TEI Type is configured for Automatic (Dynamic) and the
messages continue to change between "IN01: TEI Initialized
DN1" and "WN01: TEI Removed DN1," the ISDN line may be
misconfigured for Automatic (Dynamic) when the ISDN line is
actually set to a static (Fixed) value.
Possible Fix: Verify that the TEI Type is correct using the information
provided by the telephone company.
WN06: TEI Removed DN1 (Fixed TEI)
WN07: TEI Removed DN2 (Fixed TEI)
This message appears when the ISDN Port Monitor receives a message from the
network indicating that the Terminal Endpoint Identifier (TEI) configured for
the corresponding Directory Number (DN) or Phone Number has been removed by the
network and is no longer valid.
Possible Problem: This condition is usually caused in the case of Fixed
(Static) TEI Type when two devices are attached to a passive
bus using the same Fixed TEI value. The switch interprets
this as a violation.
Possible Fix: This condition can be prevented by configuring the devices on
a passive bus to use different TEI values.
WN08: SPID Rejected DN1
WN09: SPID Rejected DN2
This message appears when the ISDN Port Monitor receives a message from the
network indicating that the Service Profile ID (SPID) configured for the
corresponding Directory Number (DN) or Phone Number is incorrect.
Possible Problem: This condition will occur if the configured SPID does not
match the SPID assigned to the ISDN line. values generally
contain the directory number and a suffix and/or prefix. Your
service provider should provide the correct SPID value.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 178. Incoming Call Messages and Warnings ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Incoming Call Messages
These messages provide the status of incoming calls.
IN10: Incoming Call (Data):
This message appears when the ISDN Port Monitor receives a Call Setup message
from the network for a data call.
IN11: Incoming Call (Voice):
This message appears when the ISDN Port Monitor receives a Call Setup message
from the network for a voice or an audio call.
IN12: Incoming Call From:
This message provides the Phone Number of the device that placed the call to
the ISDN Digital Modem.
IN13: Incoming Call Alerting:
This message indicates that the incoming call has been acknowledged by the ISDN
Port Monitor.
IN14: Incoming Call Accepted:
This message indicates that the incoming call has been accepted by the
application currently being used with the ISDN Digital Modem.
IN15: Incoming Call Rejected:
This message indicates that an incoming call has been received but could not be
accepted. This can occur for several reasons. One possible reason for a
rejected call would be that the ISDN Digital Modem is configured to use two
Phone Numbers, and one of the two already has a call active when the second
call is received. The ISDN Digital Modem can handle only one active call at a
time; therefore, the second call is rejected.
IN16: Incoming Call To:
This message provides the user with the Phone Number being called when an
incoming Call Setup message is received. This can be helpful when the ISDN
Digital Modem is configured to use two Phone Numbers.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 179. Incoming Call Warnings ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Incoming Call Warnings
These messages provide the status of incoming calls.
WN10: SPID Initialization Ignored:
The network has not responded to SPID initialization requests. The value
selected for Switch Type in the configuration might not match your actual ISDN
switch type. Verify the Switch Type with your ISDN service provider.
WN11: SPID Value Incorrect:
The network has indicated that the SPID message being used is not correct. If
your ISDN Switch Type is AT&T Custom, you may still be able to place and
receive calls if your ISDN line has been installed with the Default Service
option enabled. Not all types of calls can be sent or received. Determine the
correct SPID value from your ISDN service provided and reconfigure.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 180. Outgoing Call Messages ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Outgoing Call Messages
These messages provide the status of Outgoing Calls.
IN22: Outgoing Call (Data):
This message indicates that an outgoing call has been placed from the
application being used on the ISDN Digital Modem and that the call type is Data
(64 Kbps or 56 Kbps). This call type is most commonly used when an ISDN
Digital Data application is placing the call or when the user has indicated in
the configuration that the line being used is capable of supporting only
Circuit Switched Data (CSD) calls. In this case, all calls placed will be data
calls.
IN23: Outgoing Call (Voice):
This message indicates that an outgoing call has been placed from the
Application being used on the ISDN Digital Modem and that the call type is
Voice. This call type is most commonly used when a modem or fax call is being
placed or when the user has indicated in the configuration that the line being
used is capable of supporting only Circuit Switched Voice (CSV) calls. In this
case, all calls placed will be voice calls.
IN24: Outgoing Call To:
This message provides the user with the Phone Number being called from the ISDN
Digital Modem.
IN25: Network Acknowledged Call:
This message indicates that the network has accepted the Call Setup message.
IN27: Call Accepted:
This message indicates that the destination has accepted the call.
Important:
In some cases, this message occurs when the network has accepted the call to
provide an audio message regarding the call (for example, "The number you have
dialed is not in service"). If the "IN27: Call Accepted" message appears in
the ISDN Port Monitor window but the call does not appear to be working
correctly, increase the speaker volume for the application you are running to
listen to any messages that the network may provide.
IN28: Outgoing Call From:
This message provides the Phone Number from which the call is being placed.
This information can be helpful if the ISDN Digital Modem is configured to use
two Phone Numbers.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 181. Outgoing Call Warnings ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Outgoing Call Warnings
The following message provides the status of Outgoing Calls.
WN 20: Call Blocked/Blacklisted:
This will occur when the Data/Fax Modem has reached network required limits on
how frequently a number may be dialed within a set amount of time and how long
the application must wait between calls. For example, in Japan, an
unsuccessful call should not be redialed more than three times in a 3-minute
period.
If this message occurs, you should wait and retry the call.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 182. Call Release Messages ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Call Release Messages
These messages provide more information regarding the Disconnect or Release of
a call.
IN30: Initiated Call Disconnect:
This message indicates that the ISDN Digital Modem has initiated Call
Disconnect. This message normally appears when an application terminates a
call. Use the Cause Value that follows this message to determine whether the
call is being disconnected normally or whether the cause of the disconnect
indicates a problem.
IN31: Call Disconnect Received:
This message indicates that the ISDN Digital Modem has received a message from
the network indicating Call Disconnect. This occurs normally when an
application on the other end of the call simply hangs up. Use the Cause Value
that follows this message to determine whether the call is being disconnected
normally or if the cause of the disconnect indicates a problem.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 183. Call Release Warnings ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Call Release Warnings
These messages provide more information regarding the Disconnect or Release of

message IN30. Use the Cause Value that follows this message to determine
whether the call is being released normally or whether the cause of the release
message indicates a problem.
WN31: Call Release Sent
This message indicates that the ISDN Digital Modem has sent a Call Release
message to the network. In most cases, this message will follow the Call
Disconnect message IN31. Use the Cause Value that follows this message to
determine whether the call is being released normally or whether the cause of
the release message indicates a problem.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 184. General Status Messages ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
General Status Messages
IN40: Call Not End-to-End ISDN:
This message indicates that an ISDN route to/from the destination was not
available. The call has been routed outside the ISDN network. If the call
being made is a Data call (64 Kbps or 56 Kbps), this message indicates that a
64-kbps route is not possible and that the data will be exchanged at 56 Kbps.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 185. General Status Warnings ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
General Status Warnings
This message provides general status information received from the network.
WN40: Warning Status Message
This message appears when the network sends a Status message in response to an
ISDN message that the network received from the ISDN Digital Modem. Use the
Cause Value that follows this message to determine whether the Status message
received from the network indicates a problem.
Possible Problem: This condition will occur when the Phone Number has been
configured incorrectly and is attempting to place a call. In
this case, the Cause message that follows will be "Cause=100
Diag=108."
Possible Fix: Select the Configuration option from the ISDN Port Monitor and
correct the configured Phone Number Value.

means that the ISDN Digital Modem is correctly attached to the network.
Note: Some networks will not activate the physical connection until an
outgoing call attempt is made or until an incoming call arrives.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 187. Line Warnings ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Line Warnings
This message provides status information about the physical line as it changes.
The message corresponds with the Line Active Indicator in the Port Status
portion of the ISDN Port Monitor window. This additional information is
provided so that you can determine where line interruptions have occurred in
reference to active calls.
WN50: Line Error Reported:
This message appears when the ISDN Physical Connection has been deactivated.
Possible Problem: The physical connection between the ISDN Digital Modem and
the NT1 has been deactivated (for example, the ISDN cable
connected to the ISDN Digital Modem has been removed). Another
case might be that another device has been attached on the
passive bus and either the NT1 or the other device is not set
up correctly.
Possible Fix: First, verify that the complete physical connection has not
been broken. Second, if a device has been added to the passive
bus, refer to both the NT1 documentation and the section
entitled "Connecting Multiple Devices" in the Guide to
Operations for assistance when arranging a passive bus
connection.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 188. ISDN Cause Values ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
ISDN Cause Values
The cause values listed below have either been sent to or received from the
ISDN Digital Modem regarding either the clearing or status of a call.
The cause values may be different based on the specific network to which the
ISDN Digital Modem is attached. The list below contains some explanation of
situations that cause a call to be unsuccessful. However, neither the list nor
the suggestions for the types of problems that may be encountered complete.
These values are meant to serve as a guide to help determine whether problems
exist and where they can originate.
Cause Value 1 - Unallocated (Unassigned) Number:
This cause indicates that the called party cannot be reached because, although
the called party number is in a valid format, it is not currently allocated
(assigned).
Cause Value 2 - No Route to Specified Transit Network (National Use):
This cause indicates that the equipment sending this cause has received a
request to route the call through a particular transit network which it does
not recognize. The equipment sending this cause does not recognize the transit
network either because the transit network does not exist or because that
particular transit network, while it does exist, does not serve the equipment
which is sending this cause.
This cause is supported on a network-dependent basis,
Cause Value 3 - No Route to Destination:
This cause indicates that the called party cannot be reached because the
network through which the call has been routed does not serve the destination
desired.
This cause is supported on a network-dependent basis.
Cause Value 6 - Channel Unacceptable:
This cause indicates that the channel most recently identified is not
acceptable to the sending entity for use in this call.
Cause Value 16 - Normal Call Clearing:
This cause indicates that the call is being cleared because one of the users
involved in the call has requested that the call be cleared.
Under normal situations, the source of this cause is not the network.
Cause Value 17 - User Busy:
This cause is used to indicate that the called party is unable to accept
another call because the user busy condition has been encountered. This cause
value may be generated by the called user or by the network. In the case of
user-determined user busy, it is noted that the user equipment is compatible
with the call.
Cause Value 18 - No User Responding:
This cause is used when a called part does not respond to a call establishment
message with either an alerting or connect indication within the prescribed
period of time allocated.
Cause Value 19 - User Alerting, No Answer:
This cause is used when a called party does not respond to a call establishment
message with either an alerting or connect indication within the prescribed
period of time allocated..
Cause Value 21 - Call Rejected:
This cause indicates that the equipment sending this cause does not wish to
accept this call, although it could have accepted the call because the
equipment sending this cause is neither busy nor incompatible.
This cause may also be generated by the network, indicating that the call was
cleared due to a supplementary service constraint. The diagnostic field may
contain additional information about the supplementary service and reason for
rejection.
Cause Value 22 - Number Changed:
This cause is returned to a calling party when the called party number
indicated by the calling party is no longer assigned. The new called party
number may optionally be included in the diagnostic field. If a network does
not support this cause value, cause Value 1, unallocated (unassigned) number ,
shall be used.
Cause Value 27 - Destination Out of Order:
This cause indicates that the destination indicated by the user cannot be
reached because the interface to the destination is not functioning correctly.
The term "not functioning correctly" indicates that a signaling message was
unable to be delivered to the remote party; e.g., a physical layer or data link
layer failure at the remote party, or user equipment off-line.
Cause Value 28 - Invalid Number Format (Address Incomplete):
The destination could not be reached as the number being called is not correct
or not complete.
Cause Value 31 - Normal, Unspecified:
This cause is used to report a normal event only when no other cause in the
normal class applies.
Cause Value 34 - No Circuit/Channel Available:
This cause indicates that there is no appropriate circuit/channel presently
available to handle the call.
Cause Value 38 - Network Out of Order:
This cause indicates that the network is not functioning correctly and that the
condition is likely to last a relatively long period of time; e.g.,
immediately re-attempting the call is not likely to be successful.
Cause Value 41 - Temporary Failure:
This cause indicates that the network is not functioning correctly and that the
condition is not likely to last a long period of time; e.g., the user may wish
to try another call attempt almost immediately.
Cause Value 42 - Switching Equipment Congestion:
This cause indicates that the switching equipment generating this cause is
experiencing a period of high traffic.
Cause Value 43 - Access Information Discarded:
This cause indicates that the network could not deliver access information to
the remote user as requested, i.e. user-to-user information, low-layer
compatibility, high-layer compatibility, or sub-address, as indicated in the
diagnostic.
Cause Value 44 - Requested Circuit/Channel Not Available:
This cause is returned when the circuit or channel indicated by the requesting
entity cannot be provided by the other side of the interface.
Cause Value 47 - Resource Unavailable:
This cause is used to report a resource unavailable event only when no other
cause in the resource unavailable class applies.
Cause Value 50 - Requested Facility Not Subscribed:
This cause indicates that the user has requested a supplementary service switch
is implemented by the equipment which generated this cause, but the user is not
authorized to use.
For North American networks, this cause generally indicates that the SPID/TID
initialization process has not been completed.
Note: If you are attached to an AT&T custom switch in the U.S., this cause
value frequently occurs if the SPID value is incorrect.
Cause Value 54 - Incoming Calls Barred:
This cause indicates that the destination will not accept the Call Setup.
Cause Value 57 - Bearer Capability Not Authorized:
This cause indicates that the user has requested a bearer capability that is
implemented by the equipment that generated this cause but that the user is not
authorized to use.
Cause Value 58 - Bearer Capability Is Not Available:
This cause indicates that the user has requested a bearer capability which is
implemented by the equipment which generated this cause but which is not
available at this time.
Cause Value 63 - Service or Option Not Available:
This is the default Cause Value when a specific service was not requested or is
not available and no other Cause Value applies. (See Cause Value 57 for a
probable problem and fix.)
Cause Value 65 - Bearer Capability Not Implemented:
The Grade of Service requested is not implemented.
Cause Value 81 - Unrecognized Call Reference Value:
This cause indicates that the equipment sending this cause has received a
message with a call reference which is not currently in use on the user-network
interface.
Cause Value 88 - Incompatible Destination:
This cause indicates that the equipment sending this cause has received a
request to establish a call which has low layer compatibility, high layer
compatibility, or other compatibility attributes which cannot be accommodated.
Cause Value 96 - Mandatory Information Element Is Missing:

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 208. Adapter Overview ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Adapter Overview
The ISDN Data/Fax Modem is an adapter that has the flexibility to provide
standard facsimile and modem functions as well as high-speed digital
communication. Standard functions are accomplished over an analog public
switched telephone network (PSTN) line at speeds up to 28.8 Kbps. If you
connect the ISDN Data/Fax Modem to an integrated services digital network
(ISDN) line, you can communicate with other digital devices at speeds up to 128
Kbps.
Connecting to an ISDN line does not limit you to communications with digital
devices only. The ISDN Data/Fax Modem is capable of communicating through an
ISDN line to analog modems and Fax machines connected to an existing telephone
network.
Additionally, the ISDN Data/Fax Modem utilizes Mwave* technology. The Mwave
technology platform, with its self-contained operating system, allows the
functionality of the ISDN Data/Fax Modem to be easily enhanced via software
upgrades. The ability to easily upgrade the ISDN Data/Fax Modem's
functionality protects your investment in the adapter itself.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 209. ISDN Overview ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
ISDN Overview
Integrated services digital network (ISDN) is a network architecture that uses
digital technology to support simultaneous transmission of voice, data, and
image at high speeds over regular telephone lines serviced by digital switches.
The ISDN Data/Fax Modem can communicate with devices attached to an existing
analog telephone line via conventional modems as well as with those that are
directly attached to an ISDN line.
When you order ISDN Basic Rate service for your home or business, you receive
one physical line with three logical channels. One of the channels, called the
D Channel, is used to send data and to send and receive the information needed
for connecting and disconnecting calls. The other two channels, called B
Channels, are used for sending voice and data.
The D channel is capable of transmitting or receiving data at 16 Kbps, while
the B channels are capable of transmitting or receiving data at 64 Kbps each.
Multiple devices can be connected to your ISDN line simultaneously. This
configuration, known as passive bus configuration, allows the D channel to
establish a call for each B channel simultaneously (see the installation
instructions that came with your adapter for more information on a passive bus
configuration).
Note: Due to differences in analog and digital technology, there are some
differences between dialing with your ISDN modem and dialing with your analog
modem. These differences are described in Dialing Differences for ISDN.
The installation instructions that came with your adapter contain more
information on ISDN Consult the installation instructions if you need more
ISDN specific information. If you have questions that the installation
instructions can not answer or you want additional information on ISDN or the

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 216. Applications ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Applications
The ISDN Data/Fax Modem is a collection of application drivers. In addition to
the application drivers, an ISDN Port Monitor is included. The ISDN Port
Monitor controls the answering and originating of calls, and can be used to
monitor the call status associated with any application.
A key feature of the ISDN Data/Fax Modem is the fact that it can be upgraded
easily. Once purchased, the product's function can be changed or enhanced by
simply installing new software. Because technology changes so rapidly, this
extends the useful life of the product and avoids obsolescence. The use of
Mwave* technology makes application upgrades possible.
Because all of the application drivers use some of the same adapter resources,
only one of these application drivers can be loaded with the ISDN Port Monitor
at any time. If you have one application driver loaded and want to run another
one, you must first unload the currently loaded driver.
The following topics contain detailed information on the application drivers
provided with the ISDN Data/Fax Modem:

select which configuration you would like to use.
Note: While modem applications are active on the ISDN port, the configuration
information may only be viewed. To change the port configuration, all
applications must be closed.
Finally, the ISDN Port Monitor gives you the ability to monitor the ISDN Port
Status while applications are active. When the configured ISDN parameters are
initially exchanged with the network, messages indicating whether the
configured values were successfully exchanged will appear in the Port Messages
portion of the ISDN Port Monitor window. As calls are being placed and
received, the Status Messages window will be updated with the status of these
calls.
Note: A Fax application automatically starts the ISDN Port Monitor.
The functions that can be performed using the ISDN Port Monitor are described
below.
View Call Status:
The Status Messages box in the ISDN Port Monitor window displays messages that
allow you to monitor the ISDN port. The status of any calls placed or received
are shown in the Status Messages box.
Monitor the ISDN Port:
The Port Status indicators in the ISDN Port Monitor window allow you to monitor
the status of the ISDN port on a per channel basis. There is a status
indicator for each of the following conditions:
L1 ISDN Line Active
D D-Channel Active
B1 B1 Channel Active
B2 B2 Channel Active
If any of the status indicators are not on, a connection is not established.
Configure the ISDN Port:
You can use the ISDN Port Monitor to change the ISDN configuration parameters.
ISDN configuration parameters can be accessed through the Configuration option
in the ISDN Port Monitor window. The process for changing the ISDN
configuration is the same as when you initially installed the ISDN Data/Fax
Modem. If you need more information on configuring the ISDN Data/Fax Modem,
see the Installation Instructions that came with the adapter.
Get a Log of the Status Messages:
The ISDN Port Monitor window displays the last few status messages status
messages so that you can observe the activity of calls being placed and
received. You can scroll through the messages in the Port Monitor window, but
they are not saved.
You can have messages saved to a log by selecting Actions from the ISDN Port
Monitor window, and then selecting Enable Logging. Messages saved in the log
will be listed with the time and date that they occurred.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 218. Fax ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Fax
The Fax application (packaged with the adapter) enables you to send Fax files
to a standard (G3) Fax machine or a Fax/Modem device connected to the telephone
network. Fax files can also be received from a standard Fax machine or
Fax/Modem device connected to the telephone network.
To install the Fax application, follow the instructions provided with the
application. After installing the Fax application, select the Fax icon. The
Fax application will be loaded and you can begin.
Refer to the documentation packaged with the Fax application software for
details about selecting a file for transfer and displaying or printing a file
that has been received.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 219. ProComm PLUS ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
ProComm PLUS For Windows
To ensure proper application-to-application connections using ProComm,
configure ProComm as follows:
Default Baud Rate: 115200 bps
Auto Baud Select: Off (NOT selected)
Problems avoided with this setup:
1. Asynchronous communication devices cannot connect at speeds greater than
the UART (baud) speed. To connect at 64000, the UART must be configured
for 64000 or greater. The only choice in ProComm that allows V.120 to
connect is 115200 bps.
2. If ProComm's Auto Baud Detect is on, ProComm will make connections only
at its pre-anticipated (exact) speeds of 300, 1200, 2400, 9600, 14400,
19200, 38400, or 57600 bps.
If the line connects at 56000 or 64000, ProComm will not recognize the connect
speed and will disconnect the call. This problem can be avoided by turning Auto
Baud Detect OFF in the Modem setup section of the advanced connection setup.
