Installation Requirements
FRITZ!Card – 1 Welcome to FRITZ!Card 7
1.3 Installation Requirements
To operate FRITZ!Card on your computer, the following re-
quirements must be met:
zan ISDN access with the DSS1 (Euro ISDN) D-channel
protocol must be installed.
za computer with an Intel or AMD processor and hard-
ware suitable for the operating system.
zcomputer with a USB port
zoperating system Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Me,
Windows 2000 or Windows 98
zIf the functions CAPI SoftFax G3 and CAPI
SoftCompression X75/V42bis are to be used, a
computer with a Pentium processor and 16 MB RAM is
recommended.
zTo operate FRITZ!fon or any other telephony software, a
full-duplex sound card and equipment for speech input
and output over the sound card are required (headset,
for instance).
zThe “Stand-by” and “Remote Wake Up” functions are
available with the operating systems Windows XP,
Windows Me and Windows 2000 if your computer is ACPI-
capable and the CAPI driver is installed. For more
information about the requirements for ACPI, see the
section “Does the Computer Support ACPI?” on page 35.
If all of these requirements are met, FRITZ!Card USB v2.1 can
be installed on your system.
FRITZ!Card USB v2.1 and the software supplied with it were
developed for individual workstations, not for networks.
They are designed to connect only one single computer with
ISDN.

AVM ISDN CAPI Port Driver Installation
FRITZ!Card – 2 Installing FRITZ!Card USB v2.1 15
Installation with Configuration: A number of basic set-
tings can be made during installation, for example, in-
formation for operation at a PBX.
2.8 AVM ISDN CAPI Port Driver
Installation
Upon conclusion of the FRITZ! communications software in-
stallation, you can install the AVM ISDN CAPI Port Driver. A
window with four settings pages is displayed:
zModems
Select here the CAPI Port modems you would like to
install, such as “AVM ISDN Internet (PPP over ISDN)” for
a connection to an Internet Service Provider using
Windows’ Dial-Up Networking. View information about
the individual modems by clicking a modem and then
pressing “F1”.
zPorts
On this settings page you can assign specific COM ports
to the virtual modems. Unless your system requires
special port settings, you can simply confirm the de-
fault settings.
zMSN
This setting allows you to separate the online charges
from the charges for voice connections. To use this op-
tion, an MSN must be entered on the “MSN” settings
page. Online connections then will be charged to this
number.
zAVM Test Connection / Fast Internet over ISDN
Define here whether two new connections should be
configured in Dial-Up Networking during installation of
the AVM CAPI Port Driver: AVM Fast Internet and AVM In-
tranet. Dial-Up Networking must already be installed on
your computer.
These connections are only designed to check that the
program functions properly. They cannot be used to es-
tablish a connection to the Internet.
