P0873832 Issue 05 CTA 500 dm On Line Guide
Any PC equipped with Windows95, Internet application software,
and a 16550 UART (115.2 kbit/s capability) can use the
CTA 500
dm .
Applications
The CTA 500 dm can be used for any application that requires
dial-up capability and uses Point-to-Point Protocol .
These applications include
¥ Internet access
¥ remote LAN access
¥ high-speed modem replacement
¥ CTI based applications when Norstar TAPI SP is added
¥ data transmission at up to 64 kbit/s on either channel of an ISDN
link or 56 kbit/s on a T1 trunk
¥ supports Multilink PPP to enable the dial-up connections to use
two channels
Internet access
The CTA 500 dm allows Norstar customers using digital network
interfaces on the Norstar ICS to access Internet service providers
(ISPs). You can connect an ISP through the public switched digital
network (PSDN) using regular dial-up methods.
Dial-Up Networking
You can use the CTA 500 dm for remote LAN access applications
when PPP is used to connect to a remote LAN.
Data-to-data transfers
The CTA 500 dm can be used to establish a connection with an ISDN
Terminal Adapter (PPP or MP must be supported) or another
CTA 500
dm for Þle transfer. You can connect two computers to the
same ICS through their own CTA 500 dm units, or connect them
through the network. Using the CTA 500 dm connection allows
analog modems to be replaced with high-speed digital connections.
The CTA 500
dm does not support connection to analog or 56k
modems.
Computer Telephony Integration (CTI)
With a compliant Norstar TAPI SP, the CTA 500 dm allows
simultaneous sessions of PPP/MP and CTI based applications to run
on PCs.
