ISI5634PCI/4/8 Quick Start Guide

Introduction

Welcome to the world of data communications. You have acquired one of the finest intelligent data and fax modems available today from one of America’s oldest and most respected modem manufacturers—Multi- Tech Systems, Inc.

The new IntelligentSerialInterface card, model ISI5634PCI is a multiport serial port expansion card with four V.92data/Super G3 fax modems. The card’s capability can be doubled by adding an auxiliary module, which also contains four modems. It is an excellent hardware solution for adding fast serial ports to communication servers and async hosts that have 32-bit PCI bus architecture.

Serial ports are essential to

•Communication servers that pool modems and other communication devices for users on a LAN

•Asynchronous hosts that provide user access through serial ports.

The ISI5634PCI ships with drivers for the following multiuser operating systems: Windows® 2000, Windows NT, version 4.0; Windows 95 , Windows 98, and Windows Me; Novell Netware version 5.x.; SCO Open Server 5; and Linux.

The IntelligentSerialInterface card can be combined to support asynchronous serial devices (local or dial-up). The ports can be used to connect basic terminals with or without multiple pages of memory to multiplexer channels and asynchronous modems. Each ISI5634PCI port can support as many screens as there are physical pages of memory on the terminal. In Windows 95/98/Me, a built-in autodetect utility enables detection of Multi-Tech modems and sets the proper initialization strings.

ISI5634PCI Modems

The ISI5634PCI modems are compatible with the new ITU-T V.92 protocol that provide quick connections, downstream transmissions at speeds up to 56K bps, and upstream transmissions at speeds up to 48K bps when connected to V.92-compatible Internet Service Providers. The V.92 protocol is able to send data downstream from the internet to your computer at these speeds because data on the telephone
