Introduction 1
The WEBGLIDER is a Basic Rate Integrated Services Digital
Network (ISDN) terminal adapter that allows connection of a PC
(or other data terminal equipment) and up to two telephone
devices (such as telephones, modems or faxes) to ISDN. This
product was designed specifically for North American ISDN.
The WEBGLIDER allows you to
connect your PC to the Internet,
telecommute to a central site,
connect to other remote PCs, or
computer systems. At the same
time your existing telephone
equipment can be used to make
calls to other equipment on the
Public Switched Telephone
Network (PSTN).
The on-board high speed processor handles all ISDN processing,
channel aggregation and data compression giving the
WEBGLIDER very fast connect times and very high throughput
allowing connections to data terminal equipment at up to
460.8Kbps*.
The WEBGLIDER connects to the U-interface of the ISDN
allowing direct connection to the ISDN without the need for an
NT1 device. NOTE: Do not attach the WEBGLIDER to an NT1
device.
