Functions of USB ISDN TA
For Windows Users
1. Plug&Play
The Plug and Play of Windows 98/ME/ 2000 and USB allows you to unplug
the device and then plug it again even though the computer is off or on.
Remember to terminate the ISDN call before unplugging the USB ISDN TA in
order to assure the Telecom not to keep charging.
2. 64Kbps/128Kbps Connection
When you subscribe ISDN from Telecom, you may use the USB ISDN TA for
stable & cost-effective accessing Internet. The USB ISDN TA enables you to
use full 64Kbps or 128Kbps for Internet connection and remote LAN access
via ISDN. Moreover, you can use the communications software such as fax
sending/receiving together with USB ISDN TA via ISDN network.
2-1. Call Bumping
The USB ISDN TA supports the call bumping function. Users do not need to
set anything to enable this function which will run automatically. If there is an
incoming analog call and the line connection is at 128Kbps, the USB ISDN TA
will drop to 64Kbps (one B channel) to accept this analog call. Also if you
want to make a remote analog call and the line connection is at 128Kbps,
2-1.1 Call Bumping/Connection 128Kbps
The USB ISDN TA will drop to 64Kbps (one B channel) to make this call out.
Once 128Kbps is dropped to 64Kbps (i.e. one B channel is dropped), you
may manually set up the connection back to 128Kbps by yourself.

2-2. Connection at 128Kbps (Two B channels)
You may use both B-channels to set up a connection speed of 128Kbps if
your ISP or the remote server supports 128Kbps (Multilink PPP).
