Using ISDN Services with FRITZ!
34 FRITZ!X PC – 4 FRITZ!: Internet and ISDN Software
4.3 Using ISDN Services with FRITZ!
ISDN integrates all the telematics services, such as telepho-
ny, telefax, data and video communication, in one digital
telecommunications network. The PC with FRITZ! is a commu-
nications hub that makes all of these services convenient to
use.
You can also use third-party application programs that sup-
port CAPI 2.0.
Multiple Subscriber Numbers for the FRITZ! Modules
To receive fax and data calls with FRITZ!, it is not necessary to
assign distinct Multiple Subscriber Numbers (MSNs) to the
different modules, since FRITZ!fax answers calls with the ser-
vice indicator for voice telephony, while FRITZ!data responds
only to calls with the “data” service indicator.
However, FRITZ!fax, FRITZ!vox and FRITZ!fon all use the
“voice” service indicator. If you want these modules to re-
spond to specific calls, you must assign distinct MSNs for
call acceptance to FRITZ!fax and FRITZ!fon, and to any tele-
phones or fax machines connected to FRITZ!X PC’s analog ex-
tensions. For instructions, please see the information on
“The ‘MSNs’ Settings Page” on page 39.
4.4 Internet Connections using the AVM
System Drivers
As an alternative to FRITZ!web, you can configure a connec-
tion to the Internet using the AVM ISDN CAPI Port Driver and
Dial-Up Networking. The system driver from AVM allows you
to use CAPI-based ISDN applications alongside communica-
tion programs that do not have built-in CAPI support.
During the FRITZ! installation you can specify whether you
want to add FRITZ!web to the Startup group. If so, then
FRITZ!web acts as your computer’s default connection to the
Internet as soon as you start your computer. If you want to
use Dial-Up Networking to connect to the Internet, you must
exit FRITZ!web and remove it from the Startup group.
