Chapter 3—Application Program Interfaces (APIs)
CAPI (Common ISDN Application
Programming Interface)
The CAPI 2.0 (or later) interface allows applications to access the
MT56128ZLX PC Card for up to 128K data transmission. The RVS-COM
application suite, which provides Internet-related applications, videotex,
terminal emulation, file transfer, remote control, answerphone, softfax, and
softmodem features, uses CAPI.
This section explains how to make the PC Card (with DSS1 D-channel
protocol) work with RVS-COM Lite for Windows 95/NT, which supports
CAPI 2.0, X.75, and other popular applications in most western European
countries.
After RVS-COM Lite is installed, you can find RVS-COM application
details in On-line Documentation .
Note: If ACOTEC ISDN for Windows 95 is installed in your system,
remove it completely to avoid any problems with this installation.
The MultiMobile PC Card supports CAPI drivers. With optional CAPI-
based software like RVS-COM Lite, it not only supports ISDN data, but
the following functions also become possible:
• Fax service—Allows you to send and receive G3 fax messages via
Microsoft Exchange, Messaging System, and Outlook.
• Answering machine—The ISDN TA PC card works as a digital
answering machine with the CAPI-based application program.
• EuroFile Transfer—Allows you to send and receive files when the
EuroFile Transfer function is running.
• ISDN modem—The virtual modem function allows all modem-based
applications to use the ISDN TA PC Card to connect via ISDN line. The
ISDN modem is a software modem that, like a FOSSIL driver,
understands and converts AT commands into CAPI 2.0 function calls.
The ISDN modem can be used with some modem applications in
Windows 95, e.g., Dial-Up Networking and HyperTerminal. It was
designed for Windows 95-compliant modem applications (TAPI,
VCOMM, Unimodem).
