Chapter 1 - Introduction

Welcome to the world of ISDN communications. You have acquired one of the finest ISDN terminal adapters (TAs) available today, model(s) MT128ISA-SD/SV and MT128ISA-UD/UV from Multi-Tech Systems.

The proliferation of PCs and LANs with bandwidth-intensive applications has generated a powerful demand for high-speed connections. The worldwide stan- dardization of ISDN, combined in many countries with its growing availability and falling cost, make it a natural choice for enhancing data throughput. Terminal adapters provide high-performance solutions for Internet access, file transfer, remote access service (RAS), and running existing modem applications through the ISDN network.

The MT128ISA-xx is an internal PC card for IBM personal computers; and fits into a full-or half-sized expansion slot. There are two ISDN interface options, ST and U. If you purchased the ST interface adapter (MT128ISA-SD/SV), you need an ISDN NT1device connection to the ISDN switch. If you purchased the U interface adapter (MT128ISA-UD/UV), it can directly connect to the ISDN switch (Figure 1-1).
