LapLink MN-LGD011-XX-US manual Connecting over Capi 2.0/ISDN

Connecting over CAPI 2.0/ISDN

If CAPI 2.0/ISDN lines are available to your computer and the computer you are connecting to—and if both computers are set up for CAPI 2.0/ISDN communications—you can open a high-speed connection and use Remote Control, File Transfer, and other LapLink services. To connect, click the Connect Over button on the LinkBar, and then click CAPI 2.0/ISDN.

CAPI 2.0/ISDN is an implementation of ISDN, an interna- tional communications standard for sending voice, video, and data over digital telephone lines, at faster rates than those possible using modems.

NOTE LapLink does not offer CAPI 2.0/ISDN as a means of connecting unless CAPI 2.0/ISDN is installed on your computer.

Use Connect over CAPI 2.0/ ISDN to link computers wher- ever the CAPI 2.0 version of ISDN is available.

Entries you have created for CAPI 2.0/ISDN connections in the Address Book appear in the connection list to make connecting easier.

NOTE Both modems must be ISDN modems. DIgital modems cannot communi- cate directly with analog modems.

CAPI 2.0/ISDN is widely used in Europe, particularly in Ger- many. In North America ISDN seldom is implemented as CAPI 2.0, but you can still use your ISDN device for high- speed LapLink connections. If you use your ISDN device as a modem, use Connect over Modem in LapLink. If you use it to dial in to, and log on to, a network, use Connect Over LAN (Network) in LapLink.
