AVM ISDN CAPI Port Driver
70 ISDN-Controller B1 PCI v4.0 – 14 AVM System Architecture
AVM ISDN CAPI Port Driver
The AVM ISDN CAPI Port Driver allows you to use an ISDN-
Controller as if it were a modem.
The AVM ISDN CAPI Port Driver makes it possible for even
programs designed for analog modems to communicate
over the ISDN interface. This means that all of the various
communications options of Windows can be used with all
AVM ISDN-Controllers. For example, you can use Dial-Up
Networking and the TCP/IP protocol to dial into your Inter-
net Service Provider.
A number of different “virtual modems” preset for a variety
of purposes can be selected in Windows applications such
as Dial-Up Networking, Microsoft Exchange/Outlook and
Microsoft Money. Just select a pre-configured destination to
launch ISDN communication.
AVM ISDN NDIS WAN CAPI Driver
The AVM ISDN NDIS WAN CAPI Driver for Windows allows
use of RAS (Remote Access Service) and dialing into Inter-
net Service Providers over ISDN.
NDIS (Network Device Interface Specification) is a standard
for connecting network adapters (hardware) to network pro-
tocols (software). NDIS WAN is a Microsoft extension of this
standard for wide-area networking (WAN). The AVM ISDN
NDIS WAN CAPI Driver thus allows the ISDN-Controller to be
used as a network adapter addressed over the CAPI 2.0 ap-
plications interface.
Unlike the AVM ISDN CAPI Port Driver, the AVM NDIS WAN
CAPI driver cannot be controlled by AT commands. It uses
the standard protocols for network connections over ISDN
(“HDLC” and “PPP over ISDN”).
