are generally DSS1 connections (Euro-ISDN connections).

d PnP simultaneously processes both channels of a
BRI or an ISDN access (2 x 64000 bits/s). Along with the small
size, the “Plug and Play” functionality is a decisive advantage for
you. It is no longer necessary to consider resources such as the I/
O address or interrupts because the operating system performs
the configuration for the card automatically through its Plug and
Play functionality (as in Windows 95 for example). FF

PnP is a PC plug-in card which uses passive technology, i.e. there
is no processor on the card. All computing operations are per-
formed by the processor in the PC.
Functions of the driver software
The driver software with CAPI 2.0 processes the D channel proto-
cols of the ISDN connection and makes all the requisite B chan-
nel protocols (X75, HDLC etc.) available to the applications. In
addition, CAPI 2.0 offers the SoftCompression X75/V42bis,
SoftModem and SoftFax performance features.

d PnPd PnP
d PnP enables you to establish connections with vari-
ous services and remote site. The basic principle for successful
connections and transfer operations is: The other site must have
a terminal device which is either of the same type or is compat-
ible.
The current standards are listed in the following:
Internet In order to dial an Internet Service Provider (ISP) using the Dial-Up
Networking application of Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0, you
use the PPP over ISDN protocol (synchronous PPP) with the ISDN
AVM CAPI Port Driver or the AVM NDIS WAN CAPI Driver. For further
information, please refer to Chapter 4 “Into the Internet with
FRITZ!Card PnP”. Windows 3.x users are recommended to dial in
through a 16-bit client of an online service provider. Further infor-
mation about settings and applications can be obtained from
your service provider.
Online services In order to dial online services you require the access software
for a service provider. Further information about installation and
configuration of the application can be obtained from your ser-
vice provider.
