The Driver Software of the Controller B1 v3.0
Controller B1 v3.0 – 1 Introduction
11
Operating systems supported
The CAPI driver software for the AVM ISDN-Controller B1 v3.0
is available for all operating systems for which a CAPI 2.0
standard is defined at the time of this printing: Windows
2000, Windows NT, Windows Millennium (Me), Windows 98,
Windows 95, Windows 3.x, DOS, NetWare 5.x, 4.x and 3.x,
OS/2 and Linux.
Applications without CAPI support
The controller package includes three AVM system drivers:
the AVM ISDN CAPI Port Driver, the AVM NDIS WAN Driver and
the TAPI Services for CAPI. These system drivers allow you to
use applications without CAPI support in parallel operation
with ISDN applications based on CAPI. For example, you can
use Microsoft Dial-Up Networking to connect your computer
to the Internet or to access remote servers.
For detailed information about the AVM system drivers, see
the section “The AVM System Drivers” on page 81.
Combining multiple ISDN-Controllers
Combining multiple active AVM ISDN-Controllers in one com-
puter is no problem. Up to four
active
AVM ISDN-Controllers
can be operated at the same time. It is also possible to equip
the computer with a combination of B1 Controllers for the PCI
bus, the ISA bus and the USB, or to combine the B1 with the
AVM ISDN-Controller C4. Such configurations make it simple
to meet growing ISDN communication needs.
Compatibility with the AVM B1 Family
The Multitask RISC transputer makes the AVM ISDN-Control-
ler B1 v3.0 fully compatible with all earlier controller versions
from the AVM B1 family. New features such as ECM (

ode), support for new ISDN protocols and new op-
erating systems thus are generally available for older control-
lers as well, depending on the capabilities of the hardware
used.
