Update–ISDN CAPI 1
1. Introduction
This update explains how to make the ISDN TA PC
Card (with DSS1 D-channel protocol) work with
RVS-COM Lite for Windows 95/NT, which supports
CAPI 2.0, X.75, and other popular applications in
most western European countries.
After RVS-COM Lite is installed, you can find RVS-
COM application details in Online Documentation.
NOTE: If ACOTEC ISDN for Windows 95 is installed
in your system, remove it completely to avoid any
problems that could occur with this installation.
The ISDN TA PC Card supports CAPI drivers. With
optional CAPI-based software like RVS-COM Lite, it
not only supports ISDN data, but the following func-
tions also become possible:
1. Fax service—Allows you to send and receive
G3 standard fax messages via Microsoft
Exchange, Messaging System, and Outlook.
2. Answering machine—The ISDN TA PC card
works as a digital answering machine with
the CAPI-based application program.
3. EuroFile Transfer—Allows you to send and
receive files when the EuroFile Transfer
function is running.
4. ISDN modem—The virtual modem function
allows all modem-based applications to use
the ISDN TA PC Card to connect via ISDN
line. The ISDN modem is a software modem
that, like a FOSSIL driver, “understands” AT
commands and converts them into CAPI 2.0
function calls. The ISDN modem can be used
with some modem applications in Windows 95,
e.g., Dial-Up Networking and HyperTerminal
(Hypertrm). It was designed for Windows 95-
compliant modem applications (TAPI,
VCOMM, Unimodem).
Introduction

2 Update–ISDN CAPI
NOTE: The ISDN modem is not an emulation of an
analog modem (i.e., it does not transmit tones).
Consequently, you cannot use it to set up a con-
nection to non-ISDN mailboxes, nor can you test it
with tools designed for analog modems.
5. Telephony—Telephony function turns your
laptop into a complete ISDN telephone (full
duplex sound card is required in your laptop).
2. Preparation
To run RVS-COM on your computer, you must have
Windows 95 or OSR2 installed with Microsoft Ex-
change and CAPI driver.

tional details about MS Exchange installation and
configuration.

temp subdirectory exists, name the path
c:\temp\new.pst.
