BIANCA/BRI for Windows 95
Welcome! This manual helps you to quickly install and confi-
gure your new BIANCA ISDN board and accompanying soft-
ware.
The first section (on page 2) gives a short overview of the
different software components.
The second section (from page 3) explains how to gain the
data necessary to setup your ISDN board and how to install it
in your PC.
Once you have successfully installed your ISDN board you
can start gathering information for the software installation.
This is described from page 11.
Subsequently the installation and configuration of the ISDN
software is explained.
Once you have installed and configured the ISDN hard- and
software according to this manual you do not need to make fur-
ther adjustments in most cases. In some special cases, however,
it can be necessary to adjust certain values by using the config-
uration program.
At the end of this manual you will find a description of the
new trace and monitor tools.

The Software
BIANCA/BRI for Windows 95 comprises the following pro-
grams.
• Installation and Configuration programs, as described in
this manual. You can also later use the configuration pro-
gram to change your configuration, if necessary.
• Board drivers for the BIANCA ISDN boards.
• CAPI12.0 and CAPI 1.1 as DualMode-CAPI—both inter-
face versions are available at the same time.
Many communications programs—including RVS-COM
(see below)—use CAPI to access ISDN.
CAPI 2.0 supports Euro-ISDN (DSS1), while CAPI 1.1
supports the first german ISDN standard (1TR6).
• It is possible to use V.42bis data compression on both B
channels simultaneously.
• ISDN and CAPI trace and monitor utilities.
•BIANCA/NDIS2can be used to connect your computer to
a TCP/IP network via ISDN.
BIANCA/NDIS supports most current TCP/IP stacks,
such as Microsoft TCP/IP or OnNet 32.
•RVS-COM for Windows 95 (Lite Version) is an applica-
tion that runs using the CAPI interface and provides var-
ious telecommunications services, such as T-Online
(formerly Btx or Datex-J), Fax, Voice Mail, and Eurofile-
transfer.
You have to install the BIANCA/BRI software before you
can install RVS-COM. Complete instructions can be found
in the online documentation included on the disks.

Hardware Installation
Preparing the Hardware Installation
Before installing your new ISDN board you have to locate free
system resources for the ISDN board (i.e. a free interrupt and a
free memory slot of 16kB for the BRI and BRI-SLC boards, or
64kB for the PMX board).
An easy way to locate these resources is given below. You
can then proceed to install the ISDN board(s) in your PC.
Following this you should read the section on gathering in-
formation for BIANCA/NDIS configuration.
In some of the following sections there are empty boxes where
you can enter the values appropriate for your installation, so
you have them handy when starting the installation.
Locating free System Resources
For the following steps your PC must be powered up and run-
ning Windows 95.
1. Open the »My Computer« icon (»Arbeitsplatz« in German
Windows 95 versions), then open the »Control Panel« (»Sys-

2. In the »System Properties« (»Eigenschaften für System«) di-
alog first select the »Device Manager« (»Geräte-Manager«)
page and then double-click on »Computer«. This leads you
to the »Computer Properties« (»Eigenschaften für Compu-
ter«) dialog.

3. On the »View Resources« (»Ressourcen anzeigen«) page se-
lect the »Interrupt« button. Now all the IRQ settings cur-
rently in use on your computer are displayed. Locate an
unused IRQ (i.e. an IRQ not displayed here) in the range of
3-7, 9-12, 14, or 15 for each of your BIANCA ISDN boards.
4. Now select the »Memory« (»Speicher«) button.
For each BIANCA/BRI and BRI-SLC board you need to lo-
cate a free memory area of 16kB, in one of the following
ranges:
✎Interrupt

GETTING STARTED

For each BIANCA/PMX board you need to locate a free
memory area of 64kB, in one of the following ranges:
If you cannot find a free memory area for your ISDN board,
you can also select a memory area in the 15 to 16 MB range
(between 00F00000 and 00FFFFFF) if your BIOS allows this.
If you want to install more than one BIANCA ISDN board in
your PC please note that each board needs a different free IRQ
and also a memory area of its own.
5. Once you have located and noted an IRQ and memory area
for you BIANCA ISDN board(s), you can power down your
PC.

Configuring the Hardware
BIANCA/BRI and BIANCA/BRI-SLC
Setting the interrupt (IRQ) and memory address is identical for
the BIANCA/BRI and BIANCA/BRI-SLC boards. The default
setting is interrupt 10 and memory address 000D4000.
Set the interrupt by fitting the jumper on the appropriate
pair of pins, as shown in Figure 1, and the memory address by
carefully moving the DIP switches into the positions corre-
sponding to the desired address (see table below).

Connectors on the backplane of the ISDN boards are as
follows:
Be careful not to connect a 10Base-T (twisted pair) ethernet cable
to the S0socket, since this may cause damage to your ISDN
board or ethernet bridge.
BIANCA/PMX
The S2M adapter BIANCA/PMX consists of a main board with
four extension slots and up to four communications modules.
The standard configuration comprises the main board—on
which you set the interrupt and memory address—and one S2M
module (please note, that the jumpers J4 and J5 must remain in
the positions depicted in Figure 2).
The default setting for BIANCA/PMX is interrupt 10 and
memory address 000D0000. If your system requires different
settings, set the interrupt by fitting the jumper on the appropri-
ate pair of pins, as shown in Figure 2, and the memory address

BIANCA ISDN Adapter Installation
If there are no other adapters installed in the computer at the
memory address and interrupt set on your BIANCA board, fol-
low these steps to install the ISDN board:
1. Turn your computer off, pull the mains plug and open the
case according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Check that the correct address and interrupt are set on the
adapter.

board. Start with Slot 1.)
3. Insert the board into an empty slot.
4. Connect the ISDN board to your ISDN subscriber outlet
with the cable shipped with your product.
5. Close the case, switch your computer on and continue as de-
scribed in the following sections.
Connecting a VGA monitor to the audio interface during oper-
ation can cause damage to the BIANCA/BRI board and to the
monitor.
Software Installation
Preparing the BIANCA/NDIS Installation
The following parameters are only required for establishing IP
connections over ISDN with BIANCA/NDIS and a TCP/IP
stack. If you do not want to use TCP/IP via ISDN, please pro-
ceed as described in Installing the Software on page 15.
The BIANCA/NDIS settings consist of your local system’s
parameters and the parameters for each communications part-
ner.
Local System Parameters
For your local system there are a maximum of six parameters
depending on which applications you will be using.
First decide how many of your available ISDN B channels
BIANCA/NDIS may use. If you enter a number smaller than
the number of ISDN channels, then the leftover channels will be
made available to other applications (e.g. for use with RVS-
COM or for incoming calls).

Write down the IP address your computer can be reached at
over ISDN. Please note that this address must be unique, i.e.
you can’t use a number already assigned to a host on your
LAN.
If you want to use PPP, your computer will also require a
special name, or »PPP-ID« which will be used by the PPP pro-
tocol to identify your system at connection time. Your compu-
ter’s PPP-ID may be up to 16 characters long.
To use X.25 an X.121 address and a NUI1is also required.
Normally these are assigned by your local ISDN provider.
The last parameter is your ethernet address. In most cases
the default setting provided by NDIS can be used.
The only exceptions are the Norton Administrator and HP-
Software-Distribution software packages. These management

tools use the ethernet MAC address for distributing, identifica-
tion, and registration of software.
Communications Partner Parameters
You will need a set of parameter settings for each communica-
tions partner. A communications partner is literally each com-
puter you wish to establish TCP/IP connections over ISDN
with. Please write down the parameter settings for all commu-
nications partners on a separate piece of paper.
The following settings are required:
1. Unique Partner Name.
2. Partner’s IP Address.
3. A telephone number where your partner can be reached at
(for outgoing calls) and a telephone number from which
your partner normally calls from (will be used for identify-
ing incoming calls).
Please note that the numbers for incoming and outgoing
calls may be different if a PBX is connected to your subscrib-
er outlet.
4. The EAZ for incoming calls.
5. The desired ISDN service. The available services are as fol-
lows:
ISDN telephony X.25 service (UC 8)
Analog telephony X.25 service (UC 9)
a/b services X.25 service (UC 10)
Facsimile group 2/3 X.25 service (UC 11)
Facsimile group 4 X.25 service (UC 13)
BTX X.25 packet mode
(X.31 Case B)

If you need a different service you can also specify a valid
combination of Service Indicator and Additional informa-
tion.
6. The B channel protocol to use. The following protocols are
supported:
When using Point-to-Point protocols your computer’s PPP-
ID, the PPP-Password for your partner, and the type of
authentication (CHAP1, PAP2or both) to use are also
required.
