DIVA T/A PC Card User’s Guide 28
This section shows you how to use the Windows 95/NT Configuration
Tool to create one or more configuration profiles.
About Configuration Profiles
A profile is a set of parameters that define a particular ISDN setup.
When you run the Windows 95/NT Configuration Wizard for the first
time, you configure a profile with the default name Profile 0. In
addition to this profile, you can configure two other profiles that
define different ISDN setups (corresponding to the needs of different
applications). You might, for example, 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.
Note: When you use the Configuration Wizard to configure a profile ,
you cannot set Advanced ISDN parameters (default settings are
implemented). If you want to modify these parameters, use the
Configuration Tool.
A profile contains information about the following:
Protocol. Your ISDN protocol. It must match the protocol
implemented at the other end of the connection.
Primary Location. The primary location’s ISDN switch type,
telephone number(s), and SPID(s), as required.
Alternate Location. The alternate location’s ISDN switch type,
telephone number(s), and SPID(s), as required.
Advanced. Advanced ISDN parameters such as Bandwidth
Allocation Protocol/Bandwidth on Demand (BACP/BOD), Data
Over Voice (DOV), and Cost Reduct i on Parameters. This
information is optional.
About Primary and Alternate Locations
Each profile can contain a Primary and an Alternate location. If the
DIVA T/A cannot connect using the Primary location parameters, it
automatically tries again using the Alterna te location parameters.
