Hayes Microcomputer Products DIVA T/A ISDN Introduction, Internet Access, Work-at-Home Access

Introduction

DIVA T/A is an external ISDN modem available in S/T and U interface versions. It provides easy and affordable high-speed Basic Rate Interface (BRI) ISDN connection to the Internet or to your office LAN. With the DIVA T/A, Small Office Home Office (SOHO) users and telecommuters can combine the higher performance of ISDN with the simplicity of a terminal adapter. The DIVA T/A supports all standard modem AT commands.

You can connect the DIVA T/A to a serial port on your computer that complements your TCP/IP application (without the need for additional device drivers).

Internet Access

The DIVA T/A allows you to connect to the Internet over an ISDN line at speeds of up to 128 kilobits per second. Without virtually any delays, you can access online services or browse the World Wide Web to download high-resolution graphics, video clips, interactive games, music, etc.

Work-at-Home Access

The DIVA T/A provides the telecommuter with fast access to network resources back at the office. You can access applications such as email or download data from a remote database in a fraction of the time it would take using a conventional analog modem.

Analog Device Ports

(Certain models only)

Analog device ports (also referred to as Plain Old Telephone Service--POTS) let you connect regular telephones, modems or fax machines to your DIVA T/A. Calls to and from these devices are carried over your ISDN line. This can save you the expense of installing a separate analog phone line.

Analog device users get a variety of calling features such as Call Forward, Call Waiting, Caller ID, 3-way call conferencing, and VoiceMail. See the section “Analog Device Support” on page 98 for details.
