Introducing the DIVA LAN ISDN Modem

The DIVA LAN ISDN Modem is a powerful networking solution for SOHO (small office/home office) and branch office users. It creates a complete networking, phone, fax, and data communications system in one box. The DIVA LAN ISDN Modem is easy to install, use, and maintain, without the need for technical support from the remote, corporate office.

The DIVA LAN ISDN Modem can be used in a variety of applications. This section presents a brief overview of some of the more common applications, and their features.

Creating your own LAN for resource sharing

The DIVA LAN ISDN Modem has a built-in 10 Mbps Ethernet hub with four ports. By connecting computers (or other devices, such as printers) to these ports, they become part of a LAN (local area network), and can share data and resources with each other.

Internet

How it works: You connect the DIVA LAN ISDN Modem to an ISDN line (which is part of the telephone network). You also set up an account with an ISP (Internet Service Provider), obtaining the necessary phone numbers, user name, and password. Once the DIVA LAN ISDN Modem is configured with this information, it automatically calls the ISP and uses its services to send and receive data on the Internet.
