FRITZ!Card USB and the accompanying software have been developed
for stand-alone PCs, and are intended only to connect a single
computer to ISDN.
2.2 How Does an ISDN-Controller Work?
An ISDN-Controller connects a computer to the ISDN network.
The ISDN-Controller is connected to the S
0
bus by an ISDN cable.
Data flows from the computer through the ISDN-Controller to
the ISDN BRI (basic rate interface), and vice-versa.
As an integrated services, network ISDN lends itself to a wide
variety of applications, such as Internet access, file transfer, fax
and telephony. Its versatility, high throughput and multiple-
channel design, allowing the simultaneous use of different
services, place high demands on ISDN-Controller hardware and
software.
