Controller B1 v3.0 – 1 Introduction
1.2 The Driver Software of the Controller
B1 v3.0
The driver software takes control of the communications pro-
cesses and data transmission.
The driver software is loaded to the ISDN-Controller from the
hard disk. This process ensures that updates to the driver
software can be carried out easily at any time.
The driver software can compress data according to the
V.42bis standard. For more information about automatic da-
ta compression, see the section “CAPI SoftCompression
X75/V42bis” on page 83.
The driver software also supports the analog Fax G3 service.
For details, see the section “CAPI SoftFax” on page 84.
CAPI (COMMON-ISDN-API)
The driver software for the Controller B1 v3.0 provides the in-
dustry standard CAPI applications interface on your comput-
er. This interface specified by the international standardiza-
tion organization ETSI guarantees the universal exchange-
ability of applications used for the ISDN services data trans-
fer, fax and speech transmission. This interface allows the
Controller B1 v3.0 to be used with a wide range of CAPI 2.0-
based ISDN applications.
For more information about CAPI 2.0, see the section “The
Applications Interface CAPI 2.0” on page 78.
Protocols supported
The driver software supports the international D-channel
protocol DSS1 (Euro ISDN), used in Europe and other parts of
the world, and the international protocols NI1 and 5ESS
(USA) are included in the standard package. Current drivers
may be downloaded from the AVM Data Call Center or from
the Internet. See the section “Information and Updates” on
page 88 for information about how to reach the ADC or
AVM’s Internet site.
