Windows 2000 CAPI: Dual Channel Access Example (MultiLink)NOTE: To install, configure, and remove devices in Windows 2000, your l ogon permissions must include
the ability to load and remove device drivers.
NOTE: To complete this procedure, you will need to know several technical details that can be provided by
your ISP or by your network administrator.
1. You will need to know whether or not an encrypted password is needed to access the net work
to which you will be connected.
2. If you are connecting to a non-Windows 2000 server, you will al so need to know in advance
whether or not the server requires you to type in login information or to know TCP/IP addresses
before dialing.
3. If applicable, you will need to know the domain name of the network to which you will be
connected.
4. You will need to know the dial-out network protocol to be used (NetBEUI, TCP/IP, or IPX).
To use the Common ISDN Application Interface (CAPI), you must install a CAPI-compliant
telecommunications application, such as the RVS-COM Lite program, which will be used for this
example.
After installing RVS-COM Lite, one modem, “RVS ISDN,” is installed automatically durin g the RVS-COM
installation. We will use this single modem for this example. Additional modems of various types can be
installed as needed. Before beginning, be sure that the R VS-COM Center is running (the icon will appear
in the Windows 2000 Task Bar).
If you would like to use multi-linking with your CAPI co nnection, first be sure that your ISDN provider
supports a 128kbps MLP option.
The ports you link must first be enabled through RVS-Com Lite.
1. To enable the ports in RVS-Com, open the RVS-Com Comm Cen ter.
2. Click the Services tab. In the Virtual Com Ports section of the window, place a check mark in front of
both ports. Associate each port with a unique COM port number (the two devices must use different COM
ports).
Click Apply, and then OK.
