Starting Controller A1 PCMCIA Operation
Controller A1 PCMCIA – 6 Installing the Driver Software in Windows NT 29
The new “AVM” program group is now created in the “Start /
Programs” menu. The program group contains the “A1
PCMCIA Readme”, “A1 PCMCIA Setup”, “A1 PCMCIA Test”
and “AVM Internet Homepage” programs (a link to the AVM's
Internet site).
US only: In addition to the above files, your AVM pro-
gram folder also contains the program A1 PCMCIA SPID Tool.
With this tool, you can change the Directory Number(s) and
SPID(s) for the ISDN-Controller. Restart Windows NT to acti-
vate the changes.
Note that the “Startup” folder also contains the program
SPID Test. This test program runs automatically each time
Windows is started and the ISDN-Controller A1 PCMCIA is
loaded. SPID Test runs in the background, contacting the
ISDN switch and checking the validity of your SPIDs. If your
SPIDs are valid, no message is displayed; otherwise, a mes-
sage appears. If you want to change the SPIDs at this time,
select “Yes” in the message window. The program A1 PCMCIA
SPID Tool is opened. Enter the desired changes and restart
Windows.
6.2 Starting Controller A1 PCMCIA
Operation
Insert the ISDN-Controller into the computer’s PCMCIA slot
before starting the computer! This must be done so that the
driver software is loaded correctly.
Loading the Driver Software
The AVM ISDN-Controller A1 PCMCIA driver software is load-
ed automatically when Windows NT is started and unloaded
automatically when Windows NT is closed.
Automatic loading occurs before programs in the “Startup”
are started. This means that CAPI applications may be in-
cluded in the “Startup” folder without any problems.
