Introduction
Congratulations! You have purchased an
advanced, flexible product, the TA/V.34 or TA,
which incorporates the latest high-speed digital telecommunications
technology.
Both the TA/V.34 and TA support ISDN operation up to 128 Kbps and
include a handset port for voice calls over ISDN.
The products are “Plug and Play” (PnP) compatible for use with
Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 or higher, and software configurable
for Windows 3.1 or 3.11.
Note
You must be running Windows NT version 4.0 or higher and
a Plug and Play (PnP) BIOS in order to use the ISDN
TA/V.34 or TA under Windows NT. To find out whether you
have a PnP BIOS, look for a PnP version number during
startup or refer to your computer documentation. You must
also install a special PnP driver from your NT installation CD.
See Chapter 2.
