Controller B1 v3.0 – 1 Introduction
1 Introduction
Modern telecommunications have long since become much
more than just making phone calls. Using the computer to
surf the Internet, utilizing the resources of the company net-
work through remote access, sending faxes, communicating
with sales representatives by e-mail: electronic communica-
tions are opening up ever more interesting possibilities all
over the world. To take advantage of these opportunities, a
powerful telecommunications network is a must.
With the AVM ISDN-Controller B1 v3.0 you can connect your
computer to ISDN. ISDN stands for

etwork and is a digital telecommunications network
available internationally. Three essential features make ISDN
so convincing:
High Speed
Data are transmitted on each of the two available B channels
at a speed of 64Kbit/s. In practice, this provides for quick
connections and short transmission times. The AVM ISDN-
Controller B1 v3.0 also allows the two B channels to be bun-
dled to double transmission speeds.
Integration of Services
All telecommunications services, including telephony, fax,
data transfer and video transmission, run over a single data
network with ISDN. This means that all available services can
be used with one ISDN access, making it possible, for exam-
ple, to make a telephone call on one B channel while simul-
taneously receiving a fax on the other.
Outstanding Transmission Quality
The third important feature of ISDN is the end-to-end digital
transmission of data, the basis for high transmission quality.
ISDN makes poor connections and faulty data transmissions
a thing of the past.
