5. USB Installation

5.1 Installation Requirements

Your PC must meet the following requirements if you want to install the ISDN Adapter:

IBM AT or -compatible

Pentium II with 200 MHz or better

Windows 98 min. Pentium 166 MHz,

Windows 2000 min. Pentium II 200 MHz.

RAM Memory: Windows 98 min. 32MB, Windows 2000 min. 64 MB

ca. 4 MB of hard disk space (for the drivers alone)

An unoccupied USB socket on your PC or on another device connected up to the PC (e.g. to the keyboard or the monitor)

CD ROM drive and harddisk

If you are using a different operating system or your PC does not meet one of the above requirements, please contact your dealer.

5.2 USB Hardware Interface

The USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface is a modern computer interface allowing you to connect up to 127 different peripheral devices (such as printers, cameras, speakers) to your computer.

The devices can be connected or disconnected while the system is up and running (hot-pluggable devices). Low-power USB devices do not need their own power supply.

Your ISDN Adapter is a low-power USB device requiring its own USB Port. If all the USB ports of your computer are already in use, you need to use a USB hub to increase the number of available USB ports.
