WEBGLIDER-460
Basic Rate ISDN provides two 64 kbps B-channels, each of which
can carry a data or a ‘voice’ call. This allows the WEBGLIDER to
handle two simultaneous ‘voice’ calls (telephone, fax or modem),
or
a ‘voice’ call and an ISDN data call, or a data call that uses both
B-channels (128 kbps).
Industry standard V.120 rate adaption and V.42bis data
compression ensure interoperability with ISDN equipment from
other vendors. The WEBGLIDER is able to store up to 32 different
numbers and has directories of stored numbers for positive
(“whitelisting”) and negative (“blacklisting”) checking of caller ID,
allowing secure applications to be developed.
The industry standard AT command set is also included.
