9 Installation in Windows 98
AVM no longer provides support for use of the ISDN-Control-
ler B1 PCI v4.0 with the Windows 98 operating system and
there is no further development of the driver software.
The AVM ISDN-Controller B1 PCI v.0 is shipped with drivers
that are especially developed for use in Microsoft
Windows 98. The driver architecture conforms to the Micro-
soft Win 32 Driver Model (WDM). This true 32-bit device dri-
ver offers full support for all features of Microsoft
Windows 98.
The CAPI 2.0 supplied with the ISDN-Controller supports
Windows applications and applications in DOS windows at
the same time. Information on CAPI can be found in the sec-
tion “The CAPI 2.0 Application Interface” from page 66.
US only: In addition to the D-channel protocol, ISDN
users in the USA must find out their SPID.
SPID stands for Service Profile IDentifier. A SPID is a num-
ber assigned by your ISDN service provider to each sub-
scriber interface. SPIDs let the ISDN switch know which
ISDN services a given logical terminal (ISDN device) can
access. This is particularly important for ISDN tele-
phones.
9.1 Installing the Driver Software
Once the ISDN-Controller B1 PCI v4.0 has been physically
installed in your computer, the next step is to install the dri-
ver software. Proceed as follows:
1. Start Windows 98.
2. Insert the installation CD in your CD-ROM drive.
3. The Windows 98 Plug & Play mechanism recognizes
the ISDN-Controller, and the Windows database is up-
dated with driver information.
