Configuring Remote CAPI
This chapter provides procedures for configuring Remote Common Application Programming Interface (CAPI) support on a Cisco 700 series router.
CAPI is an application programming interface standard used to access ISDN equipment connected to Basic Rate Interfaces (BRIs) and Primary Rate Interfaces (PRIs). CAPI provides a standardized interface that allows application programs to use ISDN drivers and controllers. One application can use one or more controllers. Several applications can share one or more controllers.
CAPI provides a selection mechanism that supports applications that use different protocols at different protocol levels. CAPI also provides standardized network access by performing an abstraction from different protocol variables. All
The framing protocols supported by CAPI consist of
CAPI integrates the following data link and network layer protocols:
•Link Access Procedure on the D channel (LAPD) in accordance with Q.921 for X.25
•
•
•
ISO 8208 (X.25
X.25 DCE, T.90NL, and T.30 (fax group 3)
