Now decide whether you require a default installation or an installation with configuration: Option 1 (Recommended) If you just select Installation, the applications are installed with the default settings in the specified directory/folder. All configuration parameters for the applications can be later modified and customised to suit your specific requirements. This option is recommended unless you fully understand the settings. See the corresponding sections in the online help for relevant information.
3.5 Setting up Internet access Note Please make sure that you Internet Service Provider (ISP) can provide ISDN access. This may require that you call them before attempting to establish a connection with your Speedway PCI Card. Internet access at 64Kbps with Windows 95/98 After restarting your PC, double-click My Computer on the desktop. Double-click Dial Up Networking. Double-click Make New Connection. Type in your choice of name for your new connection icon.
6. It is necessary to install a new version of MS Dial Up Network (msdun13). This can be found on the CD in the Tools folder (or on the Speedway web site). Open the msdun13 folder and Double Click on the msdun13 file and follow the instructions given to complete the installation. Note the installation may request files from your Windows 95 installation CD. You are now ready to create a new dial up network connection. 7. Follow the instructions in Setting up Internet access at 64Kbps above. 8.
You are now ready to connect to your ISP at 64Kbps. Internet access at 128Kbps with Windows NT These instructions assume the you have already created a connection to the Internet over a single 64Kbps channel, as in the previous section. Follow the instructions below to change your link to enable simultaneous connection of both channels. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Open Control Panel. Open Network. Click on Services tab.

This can be done from either clicking on My Computer on the Desktop or Clicking on Start - Settings - Control Panel from the Windows button (normally on the bottom left corner of the screen).
4.Typical Use Examples The Speedway ISDN PCI Card enables you to establish a wide range of connections with various services and remote sites via ISDN. The basic principle for successful remote connections and transfer operations is: the remote site must have a terminal device, which is either of the same type or compatible. Here are some examples of how you can use your Speedway ISDN Card in conjunction with the Speedway! applications. 4.
the Group 3 fax standard (the normal analogue standard used over the telephone network). This is achieved using fax emulation in conjunction with the CAPI software. The user-friendly and practical Speedway! fax is the recommended fax application. After installation of the BT ISDN CAPI Port Driver, you can also send and receive faxes using the virtual modem ISDN FAX (G3) and fax applications that support CAPI 2.0. Other applications offering CAPI 2.0 support can similarly be used. 4.
5.Troubleshooting & Support Note It is a good idea to view the Readme file on the CD for the latest product information and installation advice. No Connection to ISDN Failure to Connect to an Internet Service Provider If the Speedway PCI Card fails to connect your Internet Service Provider (ISP) check the following: • Your ISP supports ISDN connection. • The telephone number that you are dialling is correct for connecting to your service provider using ISDN.
(this should be typed exactly as shown). Click OK to confirm and click OK again to close the window that is showing. 3. Click Next and enter the ISP telephone number. Click Next and then Finish. The new icon for the connection will now be displayed. 4. Click with the right mouse button on the new icon and select Properties. Click on the tab Server Types.
Other Fax Applications Fail to Work The Speedway! fax software is especially designed to work with an ISDN connection. When it communicates with a G3 analogue fax, the software converts the fax data into digital signals that correspond to an analogue fax transmission over ISDN. Other applications, such as MS Exchange and Delrina WinFax implement the data conversion. Please check with your software vendor for suitability of your fax software.
Note The latest drivers for the Speedway ISDN PCI Card are available for download from the Speedway web site: www.speedway.bt.com Still Having Problems? If you are still having problems you can contact the Speedway! Helpline on 0845 6040195.

6.Technical information 6.1 CAPI Drivers These drivers enable the ISDN integration of operating system functions under Windows 95 and 98. They also permit the use of Remote Access Service (RAS) and allow you to connect your PC to the server of an Internet service provider by way of the TCP/IP stack and the Dial-Up Networking application of Windows 95 and 98.
The BT NDIS WAN CAPI Driver The BT NDIS WAN CAPI Driver permits the integration of the operating systems Windows 95 and 98 and the ISDN. The BT NDIS WAN CAPI Driver permits the use of Remote Access Services (RAS) via ISDN. NDIS is the abbreviation for Network Device Interface Specification and is a standard for interfacing network cards (hardware) to network protocols (software). NDIS WAN is a Microsoft extension of this standard in respect of wide area networking (WAN).
For Internet service providers offering PPP over ISDN (synchronous PPP according to RFC 1618), both the ISDN CAPI Port Driver and the NDIS WAN CAPI Driver are suitable. You should ask your Internet service provider whether PPP over ISDN protocol is supported. In the case of Internet service providers not offering PPP over ISDN, it is normally possible to dial in via the CAPI Port modem PPP asynchronous.
If in doubt about the features and functions of your ISDN service, please contact your ISDN service provider. Note TECHNICAL INFORMATION It is a good idea to view the Readme file on the CD for the latest product information and installation advice.
