Omni.Net Lite User’s Guide • The Omni.Net Lite ISDN Terminal Adapter may be referred to as the TA in this user’s guide. Preface...
This chapter introduces the key features of the TA. 1.1 About your TA The Omni.Net Lite is an ISDN Terminal Adapter (TA) with S/T interface, equipped with two phone ports for connecting to analog phones and/or fax devices. It also supports supplementary services such as call hold, call transfer, call waiting and 3-way conference calling.
Omni.Net Lite User’s Guide 1.1.1.5 Bandwidth-On-Demand The TA dynamically allocates bandwidth by dialing and dropping connections according to traffic demand. 1.1.1.6 PAP and CHAP Security The TA supports PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) and CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol). CHAP is more secure than PAP; however, PAP is readily available on more platforms.
Figure 1 TA and ISDN Interfaces Note: Do not connect this TA to a U interface. 1.2 TA Hardware and Driver Installation Follow the instructions in the Quick Start Guide to install the driver and make hardware connections. 1.3 Top Panel LEDs Figure 2 Top Panel The following table describes the LEDs on the top panel.

Figure 4 System 2.4 RS-232 Port: Local DN (Directory Number) and Call Type This section shows you how to configure the data call number and type. 2.4.1 Introduction to PPP Point-To-Point Protocol (PPP) is designed for simple one-to-one links. These links provide full-duplex, simultaneous, bi-directional operation, and are assumed to deliver packets in order.
Omni.Net Lite User’s Guide Figure 5 Point-to-Point Link Pathway 2.4.2 Multilink PPP (MP or MLP) There are two B channels in basic rate ISDN. This offers the possibility of opening multiple simultaneous channels between systems giving users additional bandwidth on demand. Multilink PPP is a method for bundling both B-channels into one PPP link for higher throughput.
2.4.4 ISDN Protocols HDLC (High-Level Data Link Control) is one of the most common data link (layer 2) protocols. It supports both half duplex and full duplex communication lines, point to point (peer to peer) and multi-point networks, and switched or non-switched channels. It permits synchronous, code-transparent data transmission.
