Table 1: Differences between Pocket ISDN Profi and Internet Both versions are referred to as Pocket ISDN in the further course of this manual. If the Pocket ISDN Profi differs from the Pocket ISDN Internet, this will be mentioned explicitly in the respective sections.
It depends on the access devices of your Internet service provider (ISP) or point-of- presence (POP), which protocol you can use. Figure 1: Connection of the Pocket ISDN for access to an online service AOL/CompuServe Access The access to AOL/CompuServe via ISDN takes place using the V.120 or X.75 protocol (re- fer to Figure 1).
Pocket ISDN Technical Data Certifications The Pocket ISDN has the following license number for the connection to the PSTN: CE- 0682 for Europe (EC), Switzerland and Norway. The Pocket ISDN is conform to the Euro- pean safety requirements IEC 60 950.

The R/T LEDs are illuminated as long as you are entering. If the R/T LEDs at Pocket ISDN do not illuminate as long as you enter AT and receive an OK, it might be that you are connected to a different modem (e.g.
This section describes the basic procedures to operate and configure a Pocket ISDN. You can operate and configure the Pocket ISDN using AT commands. You can enter these commands yourself with the help of a terminal program and the AT command reference.
10.1 Establishing or Accepting a Data Connection The Pocket ISDN can call another ISDN TA (ISDN Terminal Adapter) via the phone line and establish a data connection. After dialling a phone number, the Pocket ISDN synchronises with the called TA and opens a data connection. All incoming characters are transmitted to the other (called) TA during the active data connection.

Functions If no connection can be established, NO CARRIER the Pocket ISDN indicates if the Pocket ISDN cannot start a dial- NO DIALTONE up procedure, it indicates In order to change to command mode during a data connection, use the es-...
The reset timer determines the time from the re- set of the Pocket ISDN until the change to the "automatic call" mode. If an automatic call is enabled, you have the possibility to send AT commands to the Pocket ISDN during this time.
Page 27
Pocket ISDN Functions In order to initiate an automatic call, use the command The parameter <n> defines the event, that triggers the connection establishment. Replace <n> with the value cmds=<n> - "6" for a connection establishment if the con- trol line DTR is active;...
10.2.2 Disabling an Automatic Call If the function "automatic call" is enabled, the Pocket ISDN does not accept AT com- mands anymore. To be able to configure the Pocket ISDN again, you must disable the function. To change the Pocket ISDN to configuration mode with enabled function "automatic call"...
Pocket ISDN to interrupt the data flow. This is done via the RTS line. If it is set to "low", the Pocket ISDN will interrupt the data flow to the appli- cation. The application will set it to "high" to request data from the Pocket ISDN.
10.4 Remote Configuration You can configure the Pocket ISDN with another ISDN TA from remote. You can configure a password, authorised callers as well as a remote configuration number to restrict ac- cess. The configuration is performed via the TA+Configurator. This is automatically started after the connection establishment for remote configuration.
10.4.3 Configuring the Remote Configuration Password You can enter a password at the Pocket ISDN to increase the safety of the remote con- figuration. No password is entered in default setting. Configuration with AT commands In order to define a password, use the com- AT**rpwd=<password>...
ISDN ignores each incoming call with a phone number, which does not match with one of the entries of the list. The Pocket ISDN compares the number of the caller with each entry of the list for this. The comparison starts with the last digit of the phone number. It will be compared until an entry matches a caller number.
10.5.1 Configuration at Multipoint Interface (PMP, Point-to-Multipoint) In order to operate the Pocket ISDN at a multipoint interface, you must configure it ac- cordingly and configure an own phone number (MSN). The MSN is always configured without area code. When operating at a PABX, you must only enter the extension num- ber.
If an ISDN device tries to establish a data connection to a remote Pocket ISDN, the called Pocket ISDN compares the phone number of the calling party with the entries of its "Access table". If the phone number matches with an entry, the number, which is in the entry of the callback number, will be called back after the callback time has expired.
Functions 10.7 Selective Call Acceptance The Pocket ISDN can be set to accept only calls from phone numbers that were previously stored. The following commands allow to create a table with up to 5 or 10 (depending on firmware) numbers.
TA+Configurator can also be entered directly by adding the prefix AT** without having to change to the special TA+Configurator command set. The TA+Configurator is especially used for some functions of the Pocket ISDN, for example during remote configuration. A list of the command can be found in the section "TA+Configurator Commands". The entry is not case-sensitive.
The information transfer in the ISDN B channel is performed via dedicated protocols. The Pocket ISDN supports different ISDN protocols, which can be used for specific applica- tions. The following table lists all protocols supported by the Pocket ISDN with applica- tion examples.
10.10 Outputting CLIP of Incoming Calls The Pocket ISDN can output the phone number of incoming calls via its serial interface using CLIP (Calling Line Identification Presentation). This function can be used for exam- ple to acknowledge messages, which are sent to a mobile phone by an application via the Pocket ISDN.
Pocket ISDN Functions 10.11 User-to-User-Signalling (UUS1) The transmission of User-to-User data (UUS1-data) can be performed for incoming and outgoing calls using the additional ISDN service UUS1. The UUS1 data are sent transpar- ently from the calling side to the called side before the B channel connection is estab- lished completely.
Functions Pocket ISDN 10.12 Sub-Addressing The transmission of a sub-address can be supported for incoming and outgoing calls us- ing the additional ISDN service SUB. The sub-address is sent transparently from the call- ing side to the called side before the B channel connection is established completely.
RFCs. For CHAP, the password must be stored in the Pocket ISDN Internet in addition to the set- tings in Dial-Up Networking under Windows 95. This is not necessary under Windows 98/ME/2000/XP.
Open the "Properties" of your dial-up connection, which you use for ML PPP. En- ter the command AT**CMLP=1 as additional parameter. In case of a call during an ML PPP connection, the Pocket ISDN Internet releases a B chan- nel and an ISDN phone connected to the S0 bus can answer the call.
10.16 Bandwidth on Demand (BOD) (only Pocket ISDN Internet) Selecting this function causes the Pocket ISDN Internet to use Multilink PPP automati- cally to increase the ISDN data rate using the second B channel: If the data rate of the Internet connection exceeds a certain defined value, a se- cond B channel connection is established and used for data communication au- tomatically.
Pocket ISDN 10.17 Resetting the Device The Pocket ISDN can be reset (restarted) in several ways: By briefly disconnecting the power supply and using an AT command. Resetting the Pocket ISDN to default factory settings is performed using an AT command.

Configures local baud rate AT%B Sets the local baud rate of the Pocket ISDN to the desired value (fix value) or to autobauding. If autobauding is configured, the Pocket ISDN detects the required baud rate with each AT command entered via the terminal program (PC). The same baud rate must be configured at the PC for all other settings.
