FRITZ!: Internet and ISDN Software 4 FRITZ!: Internet and ISDN Software FRITZ! is the gateway to the entire world of ISDN communication: surfing the Internet, sending faxes, transmitting data and much more. This software grants you freedom of connectivity, allowing communication not only with remote partners equipped with an ISDN line, but also connections to analog lines. The following diagram shows some of the implementations FRITZ! and your ISDN-Controller make possible.
The Many Facets of FRITZ! 4.1 The Many Facets of FRITZ! FRITZ! consists of the following modules: The module FRITZ!web allows the user to dial into the Internet simply and directly. Thanks to channel bundling and data compression, Internet connections with extremely high data transmission speeds can be established. The option of automatically clearing down idle connections saves connection costs if you are charged by connection up-time.
Blocking Numbers With ISDNWatch 4.2 Blocking Numbers With ISDNWatch ISDNWatch is a program that supports you by monitoring your ISDN connections. Besides displaying the B-channel activities and the option of logging all ISDN connections, ISDNWatch also offers a number filter. With the ISDNWatch number filter you can block individual numbers or whole groups of numbers for all incoming and outgoing connections to and from your computer.
Channel Bundling Channel Bundling Channel bundling allows data to be transmitted from the Internet using both channels. With this feature data can be downloaded more quickly, but transmission costs are accrued for both channels. You can activate the second channel manually or have it switched on automatically for high data loads. The second channel can be released for incoming calls to other FRITZ! modules so that you can be reached even when channel bundling is active.
Sending a Fax Sending a Fax The “FRITZ!fax” printer is configured during the FRITZ!Card installation. Fax documents can be created in text processing programs: 1. With a Windows application, open or create a document to send as a fax. 2. Enter the print command in your program, select FRITZ!fax as your printer and confirm with “OK”. 3. The FRITZ!fax window is displayed. Enter here the fax number of the recipient and start transmission.
Managing Faxes The caller pays the costs accrued by a fax polling transmission. This is especially important to remember when you call premium numbers. To start fax polling, select the “Start fax polling” button. A “Fax Polling” window opens. Enter the fax polling number and confirm it with “OK”. Managing Faxes All faxes sent and received with FRITZ!fax are logged in the Journal. Even cancelled transmissions are displayed here.
ISDN and the Internet with Windows System Services 4.6 ISDN and the Internet with Windows System Services As an alternative to FRITZ!, you can use Windows Systems Services for Internet access and faxing. For this you need the AVM system drivers ISDN NDIS WAN CAPI Driver, ISDN CAPI Port Driver and ISDN TAPI Services for CAPI. During the FRITZ! installation you can specify whether you want to add FRITZ!web to the Startup group.
The TAPI Application Windows XP Fax Service To establish an Internet connection using the AVM NDIS WAN CAPI Driver, double-click the entry. The TAPI Application Windows XP Fax Service 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 you can make telephone calls, control voice mail systems and use Windows XP fax service.
How FRITZ!Card PCI Works 5 How FRITZ!Card PCI Works This chapter provides basic information about FRITZ!Card PCI on the ISDN line and the way an ISDN-Controller functions. 5.1 FRITZ!Card PCI on the ISDN Line When your ISDN access is configured, the ISDN provider installs a network terminator (NT) first. An NT usually is equipped with two ISDN sockets, each of which is an external S0 interface.
FRITZ!Card PCI on the ISDN Line NT SO SO SO PBX ISDN phone with analog extensions 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”. These connections are 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”. These protocols stipulate the procedures used for data transmission between the subscribers.

CAPI SoftCompression X75/V42bis CAPI SoftCompression X75/V42bis The driver software for the ISDN-Controller FRITZ!Card PCI supports data compression as per V.42bis for X.75 connections in accordance with the CAPI standard. Connection times and costs can be reduced considerably with this type of data compression. Data compression is activated or deactivated at the request of an ISDN application such as FRITZ!data.
Does the Computer Support ACPI? z Standby: all devices that consume large amounts of energy are turned off, such as the monitor, hard disks and other devices. z Hibernation: also stores the contents of main memory to the hard disk. In this condition energy consumption is even lower than on standby. Does the Computer Support ACPI? Use the following checklist to determine whether your computer supports ACPI: z You work with Windows XP, Me or 2000.
Always Prepared with ‘Remote Wake Up’ For more information on ACPI, see Windows Help, or the documentation on the FRITZ!Card PCI CD in the SOFTWARE\INFO folder or the manuals for your computer and motherboard. Always Prepared with ‘Remote Wake Up’ Please note the following to keep FRITZ!Card PCI and FRITZ! ready to receive at all times in standby operation. z Deactivate the “Hibernation” option. The “Remote Wake Up over ISDN” command is not available when the system is hibernating.
