3 Driver Software Installation – MS-DOS
3 Driver Software Installation
Driver software for the AVM ISDN-Controller T1/T1-B
is available for the operating systems Windows NT, Novell
NetWare and MS-DOS. This chapter contains a section for
each of these platforms describing the installation of the
driver software, configuration of the ISDN-Controller, load-
ing and unloading of the driver software, installation of
additional controllers and removal of the ISDN-Controller
from the system.
Once installed and loaded, the driver provides the applica-
tion interface COMMON-ISDN-API (CAPI) Version 2.0 to the
entire system.
AVM ISDN-Controller driver software undergoes continu-
ous development, and updated drivers are available to you
free of charge. You may download the latest drivers for
your AVM ISDN-Controller T1/T1-B from the AVM Data
Call Center using Connect2 (included) or FRITZ!data. The
drivers are also found in the Internet on AVM’s FTP server.

Before you begin the software installation, find out what D-
channel protocol your ISDN line uses. In Germany, this may
be either the DSS1 (Euro-ISDN) or the 1TR6 protocol. ISDN
lines connected after December 1993 are generally DSS1
lines. The 1TR6 protocol is rarely used today.
3.1 MS-DOS Installation
Special drivers are supplied with the ISDN-Controller for
use in MS-DOS. Once installed, the driver provides the
application interface COMMON-ISDN-API (CAPI) Version
2.0 to all programs (see Appendix A).
