Operation Manual

3 Driver Software Installation – MS-DOS

If the Controller’s I/O address and interrupt have to be

changed at a later date, e.g. because of new hardware

components, reset the jumpers on the Controller first.

Then start the A1 Setup program and enter the new

values as described above.

3.4.3 Loading and Unloading the Controller

Now you may begin Controller operation. Change to the

directory which contains the driver software, e.g. IDRIVER,

and enter the following command at the DOS prompt:

ibase <RETURN>

This command initializes the ISDN-Controller and loads

its driver software. After successful loading, the follow-

ing message is displayed on the screen:

AVM Berlin ISDN-Controller A1

COMMON-ISDN-API Version 2.0 Serial No. xxxxxxx

E-DSS1 / Release xxxxxx Address xxx / IRQ x

Add. Service: V.110, X.25, X.31

Figure 7 Message after loading in MS-DOS

You may now begin working with your CAPI applications.

The AVM ISDN-Controller A1’s resident driver occu-

pies about 110 KB of your PC’s memory.

To remove the driver software from memory, enter the

command

ibase - <RETURN>

at the DOS prompt. The program displays a message to

acknowledge that the driver has been removed.

To load the AVM ISDN-Controller A1 driver automatically

every time the computer is started, enter the batch

command ibase.bat to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file (remem-

ber to specify the path ! ).
