Introduction
1.1 An Overview of the BIPAC-PCI
ISDN Card
1.1.1 What is ISDN?
ISDN is an abbreviation for Integrated Services Digital Network.
ISDN transfers information digitally and integrates all
telecommunication services (such as telephone, teletext,
videotex, etc.) into a single network. Using ISDN, you can
transfer text, voice, data files, images, and even video.
Before the use of ISDN, telecommunications operated using
analog devices, which limited the quality of telecommunication
transfers. With ISDN technology, the telephone lines can
transmit data digitally with much greater speed and clarity of
transmission than with analog transmissions. The ISDN is
capable of transmitting all kinds of information at greatly
accelerated rates. A typical modem transmission has a rate of
56Kbps (kilobits per second or thousand bits per second). ISDN
digital technology allows transfer rates of up to 128Kbps.
Because ISDN transmits data digitally, the data is virtually error
free, and the transmission is much clearer, with fewer
interruptions and slowdowns in facsimile transmissions. With
ISDN devices implemented throughout the world, a truly digital

network will emerge, allowing everyone fast and easy access to
the global information highway.
1.1.2 The BIPAC-PCI ISDN Card
The BIPAC-PCI ISDN card is ideally suited to give your PC
access to the world of the Integrated Services Digital Network.
It is easy to install, and easy to configure because it is fully Plug
and Play compatible. The Windows 95, OSR2, 98, NT4.0, Me,
2000 or XP operating system will automatically install and
configure the ISDN card.
With the ISDN card, you can have an ISDN telephone,
answering machine, file transfer, videotex, G3/G4 Fax functions,
and Internet access. This will bring you more versatility and
efficiency in the ISDN era.
1.2 ISDN Phone Software (Optional)
The ISDN card transmits voice signals with a much greater
quality, clarity, and speed than analog voice transmissions.
Included in some product package is the ISDN Phone software
program, which takes full advantage of the ISDN card’s digital

Chapter 1 Introduction
3
transmission capabilities. This program makes it easy for you to
make and receive voice communications. With the Phone
program and some ISDN card, you will be able to use the two B
channels simultaneously, allowing you to send voice and data
over the ISDN card at the same time. You can use your ISDN
card to make a voice communication over one B channel while
sending data or connecting to the Internet using the other B
channel.
The ISDN Phone has the following additional features:
A Software
Dialer
The Software Dialer allows you to dial the
telephone number using either the mouse or
your keypad.
Hot Key
Dialing
The Hot Key feature allows you use a hot
key combination to automatically dial a
number that has been copied to the
clipboard. If you have a database with
phone numbers stored in it, you can use the
Windows shortcut keys [Ctrl] + [C] to copy
the number, and then use the assigned ISDN
Phone hot key to dial the number for you.
Speed Dialing The Speed Dialing function allows you to
dial a number with a single mouse click.
You can store up to 16 numbers with the
Speed Dialing function.
Automatic
Redial
Automatic Redial frees you from having to
manually redial if the line is busy. You can
set the Automatic Redial function to redial
after a designated period of time.
Phone Book The Phone Book allows you to store phone
numbers and other important information
about your contacts. You can even insert a

identification.
Call Logs Call Logs help you keep track of incoming
and outgoing communication data such as
caller identification, duration of the call, and
the date and time the call was made.
Supplementary
Services
“Call hold/retrieve”, “suspend/resume”,
“call waiting”, “call transfer”, “call
