The DIVA Terminal Adapters Program for Windows 95/98/NT

About Configuration Profiles

A profile is a set of parameters that define a particular ISDN setup.

When you installed the DIVA software, the Configuration Wizard helped you configure your ISDN settings. This set of settings was given the default name Profi l e0.

In addition to this profile, you can configure two other profiles that define different ISDN setups, which can correspond to the needs of your different applications. For example, you may configure profiles to match the ISDN setup needed to connect to your office, your Internet Service Provider (ISP), and CompuServe. When you need a particular ISDN configuration, you simply select the appropriate profile. This saves you the trouble of reconfiguring all your ISDN parameters each time you switch applications.

Parameter Categories

The different settings are described briefly below. The categories correspond with the panels in the Configuration Tool.

General

General ISDN settings include your location and data protocol (which must match the

 

protocol implemented at the other end of the connection). If your DIV AT/A is not

 

equipped with phone ports, you must also specify your ISDN phone numbers in this

 

panel. For more details, see page 38.

 

 

Phone Ports

If your DIVA T/A is equipped with analog device ports, the Phone Port 1 and Phone

 

Port 2 tabs allow you to specify several options, such as which phone numbers the

 

analog ports should answer. For more details, see see page 41. For more information on

 

analog device support, see page 104.

 

 

Data

The Data tab allows you to configure data port and protocol options. For more details,

 

see page 44.

 

 

BACP

The BACP tab allows you to specify the Bandwidth Allocation Control Protocol and ISDN

 

cost reduction parameters. This tab is visible only if the data protocol is set to ‘MultiLink

 

PPP with BACP’ or ‘MultiLink PPP with AODI’, and is discussed in more detail on page 46.

 

 

X.25

The X.25 settings only apply if AO/DI is supported by your ISDN service provider, and is

 

visible only if the data protocol is set to ‘MultiLink PPP with AODI’. Use this panel to

 

specify the X.25 version and X.25 facilities as required. For more details, see page 48.

 

 

Advanced

The Advanced tab allows you to specify advanced ISDN parameters such as Call

 

Routing, and is optional. For more details, see page 51.
