MORE INFORMATION

General ISDN Information
------------------------

This article provides basic instructions for installing an ISDN device. Typically
on Windows NT-based computers, you install an internal ISDN adapter using the
Network tool in Control Panel. You install an external ISDN device using the
Modems tool in Control Panel. If you use Remote Access Service (RAS) with the
ISDN device, install RAS before installing the ISDN device.

For specific instructions about installing your ISDN device in a computer running
Windows NT, contact the manufacturer of your ISDN device.

For information about configuring ISDN parameters such as the service profile ID
(SPID) or line type, contact your phone company.

Installing an Internal ISDN Adapter
-----------------------------------

To install an internal ISDN adapter, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.

2. Double-click Network.

3. Click the Adapters tab, and then click Add.

4. In the Network Adapters box, click your ISDN adapter, and then click OK. If
   your adapter is not listed, click Have Disk, type the path for the driver you
   are installing, and then click OK. You must type the path for the
   Oemsetup.inf file from the manufacturer.

5. Follow the instructions on your screen or provided by the ISDN manufacturer
   to complete the installation of your ISDN adapter.

NOTE: For information about how to configure device-specific parameters such as
the interrupt, I/O base address, and memory address, consult the documentation
included with the ISDN adapter, or contact the adapter's manufacturer.

Installing an External ISDN Device
----------------------------------

To install an external ISDN device, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.

2. Double-click Modems.

3. The Install New Modem Wizard starts automatically if you have not installed a
   modem before. If the wizard does not start automatically, you have installed
   a modem and you should click Add to start the wizard.

4. Click "Don't detect my modem; I will select it from a list" to select it, and
   then click Next.

5. In the Manufacturers box, click the manufacturer of your ISDN device.

6. In the Models box, click your ISDN device, and then click Next. If your ISDN
   manufacturer or device is not listed, click Have Disk, type the path for the
   driver you are installing, and then click OK. You must type the path for the
   Oemsetup.inf file from the manufacturer.

7. Follow the instructions on your screen or provided by the ISDN manufacturer
   to complete the installation of your ISDN device.
