Introduction W elcome to Multi-Techs new MultiModemISI Hybrid Series, model ISIHI-2S/2U, a multiport hybrid ISDN card for Remote Access Server (RAS) applications. Included on the ISIHI-2S/2U are four V.90/K56flex central site modems for incoming analog modem and fax calls, as well as two terminal adapters. Each terminal adapter appears as two ports to the server PC using the ISIHI-2S/2U. The terminal adapters identify incoming analog calls and route them to the central site modems.
Introduction From the perspective of the server PC, the ISIHI-2S/2U is an eight-port serial card with eight devices permanently attached to the serial ports. The first four ports are the two terminal adapters, each of which appear as two ports. The remaining four ports are the four central site modems. The following chart summarizes the correlation of ports and devices.
