Readme for CAPI subsystem driver (Acotec) with miroCONNECT P1
under German Windows 95.

1.        General

This floppy contains the software necessary for the integration
via CAPI subsystem of Acotec. It supports one/two B-channel with up
to 64.000 bps.

This floppy contains the following files:

- fw??1tr6.loc          Loadable Firmware with D-channel proto-
                        col 1TR6 for miroCONNECT P1
- fw??dss1.loc          Loadable Firmware with D-channel
                        protocol DSS1 for miroCONNECT P1
- miroP1.inf            Installation script for NT
- readme.txt            This text
- liesmich.txt          German Version of readme.txt
- p1mac.vxd             ACOTEC subsystem driver

2.      miroCONNECT P1

2.1     Installing miroCONNECT P1 hardware

Install the miroCONNECT P1 as described in the manual. Configure the
Port of the miroCONNECT P1 on a free IO-address and a free
interrupt (see manual). 
If possible, try the miroCONNECT P1 with DOS first. Try the CAPI
(with p1copy, see manual). If ok, proceed to Windows 95.

2.2     Installing P1MAC

The driver is to be installed with the "Control Panel". Start
"Network" and "Add Adapter..". Now you get a list of the
available adaptors. Select "Have Disk" Button to force the
system to load the files from the floppy onto the harddisk.
Select "miro P1 ISDN Adapter". 

This routine installs the miroCONNECT P1 board with the following 
default settings:
IRQ:                 12
Base I/O Address:   260
ISDN Protocol:     DSS1

These may be altered by double-clicking the tina board in 
the "Network" section

Afterwards choose "Add protocol" and install "ACOTEC CAPI-Subsystem".

Then reboot your computer.


Additional installation informations:

2.2.1   IO-Port address

miroCONNECT P1 can be installed at four different IO-Base addresses
of the ISA bus. The default address is 260H. Change this
address only if a conflict with other boards occurs.


2.2.2   Interrupt number

miroCONNECT P1 can use different interrupt levels on the ISA bus. The
default interrupt is 12. Check miroCONNCET P1 for the correct
interrupt setting before installing and make sure you choose
the same one in the menu.


2.2.3   D-channel protocol

There are many different D-channel protocols in use in the ISDN.


2.2.3.1 Public ISDN, 1TR6

The 1TR6 protocol is the older German national protocol.


2.2.3.2 Public ISDN, DSS1

The DSS1 protocol is the common European protocol. Most of the
new ISDN-interfaces in Germany support DSS1. Other countries
supporting DSS1 are: Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway,
The Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Austria
and many others. The data transfer service of the ISDN
interface has to be configured in the switch or the PABX.


2.2.3.3 Private switches (PABX)

PABXs use different protocols, including 1TR6, DSS1, DKZE and
proprietary protocols. If in doubt, consult the vendor. The
data transfer service of the ISDN interface has to be
configured in the switch or the PABX.


2.2.4   Endgeraeteauswahlziffer (EAZ)/
        Multiple Subscriber Number (MSN)

You can distinguish different ISDN terminals by a different
EAZ (1TR6) or MSN (DSS1). With this parameter you select a
specific EAZ/MSN for the miroCONNECT P1 card.

EAZ:
If you use 1TR6, the EAZ is an additional digit added to
your phone number. It can be any number from 1 to 8. If you
want to connect to the miroCONNECT P1, the caller has to dial
either the EAZ you have selected or the -0, which addresses
all terminals regardless of their EAZ. In this case the call
is connected to the terminal that reacts first.

MSN:
If your protocol is DSS1, you usually get different MSNs
which normally differ only in the last digit. That depends on
the software in the public/private switch.

The number called by the client consists of the prefix and
the local number. The public switch generates the protocol
element Destination Address (DAD) which is the local number
or a part of it. It may also be omitted. 


4.        Troubleshooting

- Hardware does not react:
  check ISDN-board under DOS if possible, check board address
  switches and interrupt jumper.
