Placing a Data Call While placing a voice call can be as simple as dialing out with your analog phone, initiating a data call requires prior selection of a proper B-channel protocol. Here are some simple commands that will be useful when placing a call. The omni.net has the capability to automatically detect the B-channel protocol (V.120, X.75, or PPP) used by the answer site.
Assigns MSN 's' for ISDN data, protocol auto-detection &ZI6=s Assigns MSN 's', phone number for Phone 2 (for omni.net LCD/Plus) and modem (for omni.net LCD+M only) &ZI7=s Assigns MSN 's', phone number for Phone 1 (for omni.net LCD/ LCD+M/Plus) Table 26. AT Command for answering a call using MSN [AT&ZI?] can be used to display the MSN numbers.
Page 57
If an incoming SETUP message is offered with addressing information (i.e. the appropriate part of the called_party_number), this address will be compared with the MSN numbers assigned by the [AT&ZIn=s] commands. The call will be accepted using the specific protocol, if the assigned number of this protocol matches the received called party number.
Technical Reference for ZyXEL omni.net series Data Over Speech Channel (for ZyXEL omni.net LCD/LCD+M/Plus) If you are expecting ISDN data calls through the Speech (Voice) channel, you need to setup MSN for that purpose. To the omni.net, if no MSN entries are found in MSN ISDN data lists, all Speech (Voice) calls will be sent to either Phone 1 or Phone 2.

Repeat steps 1 and 2 above to switch back and forth between callers B and C. Call Reject The call reject option allows you to disconnect an active call and return to a call that is on hold without having to hang up your handset. To disconnect caller C and switch back to caller B Pressing the Flash key and 5 to will automatically switch back to caller B while disconnecting caller C.
Technical Reference for ZyXEL omni.net series Three-Way Conference Call The conference call feature can be used in two ways: To connect 2 local parties (2 phones connected to the two POTS ports of you omni.net) to a remote party (1 dial-out number.) To connect one local party (1 phone connected to POTS port 1 or 2 of your omni.net) to 2 two remote parties (2 dial-out numbers.)
Last Number Redial This functions allows you to redial the last number called on POTS port Phone 1 and 2, even after the omni.net has been powered off and on again. The last numbers dialed on Phone 1 and 2 are stored in Non-Volatile RAM (NVRAM) at locations [AT&Z38] and [AT&Z3]9 respectively.
Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) Introduction to PPP Point-To-Point Protocol (PPP) is designed for simple links, which transport packets between two peers. These links provide full-duplex simultaneous bi-directional operation, and are assumed to deliver packets in order. PPP is intended to provide a common solution for easy connection for a wide variety of hosts, bridges and routers.
Technical Reference for ZyXEL omni.net series Data will be transmitted only when the link is in the open phase. Negotiation details are described in RFC1661. Feature List Async to Sync Conversion PPP uses HDLC-like framing as encapsulation, which can be bit-oriented or character-oriented. Most ISDN routers use bit-oriented HDLC framing, also known as synchronous transmission.

V.110, V.120, X.75 and Synchronous Mode This chapter describes how to set-up and configure your omni.net ISDN TA with the V.110, V.120, and X.75 protocols. The following table summarizes the specifications of those ISDN protocols. Synchronous Transparent Layer 1 None Layer 2 None Layer 3...
Technical Reference for ZyXEL omni.net series About V.110, V.120 and X.75 ISDN Protocols ISDN Protocols V.110 V.110 is most popular in Japan. V.120 V.120 is most commonly used in the U.S.A. X.75 X.75 was originally designed for packet-switched signaling systems in public networks to provide data transmission services.
V.110 Outgoing Protocol Use the following commands to configure V.110 outgoing calls. AT Command ATB10 User rate follows DTE speed (see note below). ATB13 User rate = 2400bps ATB14 User rate = 4800bps ATB15 User rate = 9600bps ATB16 User rate = 14400bps ATB17 User rate = 19200bps ATB18...
Technical Reference for ZyXEL omni.net series V.120 Outgoing Protocol Some switches transmit all network signals through the D-channel (out-of-band signaling), allowing both B-channels to be used exclusively for your communication purposes. This allows for throughput of 64Kbps per channel. However, not all switches support out-of-band signaling at this time. For switches that do not support out-of-band signaling, network signals are transmitted through the B-channels.
X.75 Outgoing Protocol The X.75 protocol can be chosen using the following AT commands: AT Command ATB00 X.75 with transparent layer 3. ATB01 X.75 with T.70 NL. The ATB0x commands not only specify the outgoing protocol, but also set the default layer 3 for an incoming X.75 call without layer 3 information.
Page 94
Technical Reference for ZyXEL omni.net series NOTE: The omni.net LCD/LCD+M does not support network independent clock compensation. The synchronous timing source must be supplied by the omni.net LCD/LCD+M , which is phase locked to the network synchronous clock. When in V.25bis command mode, the omni.net LCD/LCD+M supports the bit-oriented HDLC (High-Level Link Control) synchronous protocol which most synchronous communication links use.
Making V.120 and X.75 Bundled Calls Speeds of 128Kbps BRI ISDN consists of three (2B+D) logical channels. Each B-channel can be used independently for a dial-up connection running at 56Kbps or 64Kbps (Kbps = Kilo (1000) bits per second). The two B-channels can be used together for a single data connection to provide 112K (with In-Band Signaling) or 128K (when Out-of-Band Signaling is used).
Page 96
Technical Reference for ZyXEL omni.net series available for more flexibility, as shown below: AT&J0 Disables B-channel bundling. AT&J1 Enables B-channel bundling in answer mode only. AT&J2 Enables B-channel bundling in call mode only. AT&J3 Enables B-channel bundling in both call and answer modes. Once this is done, the [ATD] command will generate two consecutive SETUP messages to invoke bundle initiation.
X.75 Bundled Call A bundle connection is initiated at the calling site by sending two consecutive SETUP messages to the network. The two SETUP messages are all the same except for the Call Reference values. [AT&Jn] can be used for bundle configuration as follows: AT Command AT&J0 Disables B-channel bundling.
Technical Reference for ZyXEL omni.net series Dialing Pre-stored Phone Numbers The 40 phone numbers stored in the NVRAM can also be used to place a bundled call with V.120 or X.75, by using the [ATDSn] command: ATDSn n=0-39 Dial the (n)th phone number twice for both bundle connections. ATDSn+ n=0-38 Dial the (n)th phone number for the first connection and dial the (n+1)th phone...

Technical Reference for ZyXEL omni.net series Error Correction and Data Compression with V.120 With V.120, the default setting is for LAPD error correction only. No data compression will be negotiated unless V.42bis is enabled by setting [AT&K44]. With the &K44 setting, the omni.net will try to connect using V.42bis data compression. If the remote device does not support V.42, then LAPD error correction will be used.
It takes about 2 seconds for the calling ISDN TA to send XID and wait until time out. If you know in advance that the called site has no V.42bis capability, it is advisable to issue the AT&K00 command beforehand in order to get a quick connection. Although not defined in X.75, XID frame is based on the encoding in ISO Standard 8885 and is used in V.42/V.42bis.

Technical Reference for ZyXEL omni.net series Setting and Modifying Passwords Up to 40 user passwords can be defined using the [AT*Hn] command, where 'n' represents the index to the entry (n=0-39). The corresponding 40 callback numbers are defined by [AT&Zn=xxx] command, where 'n' represents the index to the entry, and 'xxx' represents the assigned callback phone number.
Modifying the User Passwords Use command [AT*Hn] to modify the "n"th user password (n=0-39). The system will ask you to enter the supervisory password first and then the user password you want to modify. Use the command [AT*V] to list the 40 user passwords and the supervisor password on screen for viewing. Non-password Auto Call Back Function In addition to the standard modem-like security functions described in the previous section, the omni.net provides another simpler call back function that does not require any password check.

character before completion of the handshake. If +FCLASS=1 is selected, the modem will behave as a facsimile modem and attempt to connect to a facsimile machine. This command will be aborted upon receipt of any DTE character if the modem has not finished dialing. In this case, the modem will go on-hook and return to command mode after displaying the NO CARRIER message.
Technical Reference for ZyXEL omni.net series When AT&L1 is set, an incoming analog call to phone2 will also report a ‘RING’ message to the DTE. You can answer an incoming analog call to the internal fax/modem by the command ‘ATA’. If the register S1 is not zero, the internal modem will automatically answer an incoming analog call when the Ring counter reaches the register S1 value.

The omni.net can perform its own diagnostic tests, providing you with valuable information. This chapter presents diagnostic tables for interpreting test results. The following table summarizes of the omni.net self-test sequence: Test Sequence Memory test ISDN chip interface test ISDN chip functional test HDLC functional test Note: * The LED lights up while test is in progress and blinks if a test fails.
Technical Reference for ZyXEL omni.net series Power-on Self-test At each power-up or after reset command from the panel, the omni.net will test the ROM code checksum, system RAM memory, EEPROM, digital circuits and analog circuit calibrations. The LNK LED will light up for half a second to indicate the success of the TA's power on self-test. After completing a successful self-test, the LNK LED will become the normal physical layer (layer 1) active indicator.

D-channel and DTE-DCE interface. The EPA is designed for hobbyists as well as users with technical backgrounds. The EPA enables you to examine messages exchanged between your ISDN TA and the Central Exchange office when making an ISDN call. You can review the packets sent or received through the B-channel (for X.75 or V.120) to or from the remote site.
Technical Reference for ZyXEL omni.net series used with the ZyXEL CAPI driver. The ZyXEL CAPI driver communicates with the ISDN TA through this internal interface. It is not recommended that users get involved in this internal interface. The AT commands/responses, on the other hand, are in a standard user interface. An analysis of these commands and responses might prove very informative.

This chapter describes how to upgrade the flash EPROM firmware of your omni.net when a new version is available. Upgrading with Flash EPROM Your omni.net ISDN TA employs a flash EEPROM (Electronic Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory) that lets you conveniently update firmware and program the ISDN TA with new features and enhanced functions.
Technical Reference for ZyXEL omni.net series NOTE: The American firmware version supports both the S/T interface and U interface models. During the power-on test, it checks the hardware configuration and follows the initialization procedures of the specific interface. Follow these steps to upgrade you omni.net with flash EPROM, by using a communications program: Step 1.

Operation Modes of the DTE Interface There are two operation modes for the DTE interface: Simplex mode - used for conventional AT Command operation. Multiplex mode - used as an internal interface for ZyXEL CAPI drivers. Simplex mode In simplex mode, the omni.net is used just like an ordinary ISDN TA. The DTE interface will be either in command state or in data state.
Technical Reference for ZyXEL omni.net series The commands or data are packaged. Each packet has its own destination address. All the DTE channels can be accessed individually by way of multiplexing. AT Commands Description An AT Command is a command in asynchronous data format issued by the computer to the ISDN TA through the asynchronous computer-modem interface.
