Configuring your Modem using a Terminal program Getting a Terminal Program Ready If you are not using the ISDN configuration utility that is packaged with the Omni TA128, you will need a terminal program to from which to configure the unit. The Omni should work with any asynchronous terminal program that can communicate directly with one of the communication ports on your system.
The ATPn command is used to program the D channel protocol. This is to allow the Omni TA128 to work with the type of switch your ISDN line is connected to. “n” is a digit that indicates the type of switch. Please use the following table for the “n” value.
SPID Error! This indicates an error entering the SPID number. Once the SPID(s) are entered and accepted, toggle the Omni TA128 power off then back on. Wait until you see the LNK LED light up (this indicates an open communication link between your TA and the local switch).

Be aware that the Omni TA128 will not automatically answer a call unless S- register S0 is set to a value greater than 0 (zero). If S-register S0=0, the Omni TA128 will only report “RING” to your terminal program. It can also respond with an audible tone...
Page 29
Chapter 4 - ISDN Communication Basics When an ISDN data call comes in, the Omni TA128 will try to negotiate a connection using the proper ISDN protocol. When an analog call comes in, the Omni TA128 will send the call to the analog port as the factory default, Phone 1 and then Phone 2.
Called_Party_Subaddress information within the incoming SETUP message is not used by the Omni TA128 to select the protocols or services. It just indicates the subaddress (if any) to the DTE. Data over Speech Channel If you are expecting ISDN data calls through Speech (Voice) channel, you would need to setup MSN for it.
Phone 1. Multi auto-answering of data calls When an ISDN data call comes in, the Omni TA128 can determine the protocol to be used in one of two exclusive ways. By way of the information conveyed by the SETUP message (for DSS1, these include the Bearer-Capability, Low-Layer-Compatibility, or High-Layer- Compatibility information elements;...

“Security” button. The rest of this is dependent on your ISP. If you are making an NT to NT server just check “Accept Authentication,” and click OK. 18) Finally Click OK again, then click “Dial.” Your Omni TA128 will dial the number and establish a connection.
Making Async to Sync PPP and SLIP calls In order to communicate with an ISDN LAN router (from vendors such as Ascend and Cisco), you’ll need to set the Omni TA128 B channel protocol to one of the following: ATB40<Enter> (HDLC PPP) ATB41<Enter>(HDLC SLIP)
The value in register S124 (in seconds) is used as the idle time gauge. If the idle time exceeds this guarding period, the Omni TA128 will send out a dummy PPP packet to the Server to keep it from disconnecting the line.
Chapter 6 - Async to Sync PPP and SLIP By default, the Omni TA128 dials the same number for both Multilink PPP connections. If the destination you are dialing requires two different telephone numbers to establish a two channel Multilink PPP connection, then the following command can be used: ATDIphone_number_1+phone_number_2 where phone_number_1 and phone_number_2 are the phone numbers of the destination.
Omni TA128 automatically reestablishes that channel for Multilink PPP operation. The dynamic bandwidth allocation function can only be effective when the Omni TA128 is in the calling site (the client site). The following command can be used to select the DBA function:...
TA128 to 56K mode using the AT&E1 command (AT&E0 to set it back to 64k mode.) If your Omni TA128 is on the receiving end, you can keep the setting at AT&E0, 64k data mode. The Omni TA128 will automatically switch between the two speeds in answer mode.
In most cases, there is no need to configure the Omni TA128 to properly answer calls. The Omni TA128 is able to decide which protocol to use by detecting the type of data that is coming in. All you need to do is set S0 to greater than or equal to 1, so the Omni TA128 will automatically answer an incoming call.
“ATD” command: ATDI[phone_number_1]+[phone_number_2]<Enter> The answering Omni TA128 determines that the call is a bundle request: when AT&J3 is set, and two consecutive SETUP messages are received. The two data calls are established as one message. The phone company’s ISDN line splits it off into two messages.
(and only one) from a device that is attached to one of the a/b adapters while a CCB call is active. The Omni TA128 automatically removes one of the CCB connections and uses it for the voice call. Once the voice call ends, the Omni TA128 automatically reestablishes that channel for CCB operation.
Page 49
Chapter 7 - V.120 ISDN Communications It takes extra time for the calling ISDN TA to negotiate V.42bis. If you know in advance that the called site has no V.42bis capability, it would be better to issue the AT&K00 command beforehand in order to get a quick connection. V.42bis is an international data compression standard commonly used in modem communications.
If the called TA doesn't get any B channel protocol information from the incoming SETUP message and the remote device is a ZyXEL ISDN device, the Omni TA128 will be able to identify the V.120 protocol automatically with the Multi Auto-answer routine.
AT&ZI0=n. Please refer to the section entitled “Data over Speech Channel” in Chapter 4 for details. To allow the Omni TA128 to answer the incoming call, you need to set S0 to a value greater than 0 (i.e. ATS0=1). The Omni TA128 will answer the call and use asynchronous to synchronous conversions to and from the DTE.
CAPI 1.1a specifies X.75 with T.70 NL as its default. CAPI 2.0 specifies X.75 with transparent layer 3 as its default. The default data protocol of the Omni TA128 is ATB20 (V.120). X.75 protocols can be chosen using the following AT commands: ATB00 X.75 with transparent layer 3...
(and only one) from a device that is attached to one of the a/b adapters while a CCB call is active. The Omni TA128 automatically removes one of the CCB connections and uses it for the voice call. Once the voice call ends, the Omni TA128 automatically reestablishes that channel for CCB operation.
Chapter 8 - X.75 ISDN Communications Bundle Type S100=0 S100=1 Selection V.42bis Yes (AT&K44) Yes (AT&K44) In-band Bundle Negotiation End Point Optional Discrimination Invoking V.42bis Data Compression The following AT commands are used to switch the V.42bis data compression on or off for ISDN data calls when using X.75 or V.120 protocols.
But the weak keys will be automatically avoided by Omni TA128. One major criticism of the DES standard is that its key is too short to survive the brute force (exhaustive search) attack of today’s technology.
65. The AT command interpreter will convert the string DES_Key to a real DES key. The Omni TA128 will check to see if the converted key is a weak key for DES, if so, it modifies the key according to a predetermined algorithm to get a non-weak key.
Chapter 8 - X.75 ISDN Communications Control of Data Encryption The AT commands to control the data encryption are as follows : S Register setting Description ATS89.0 = 1 DES is desired ATS89.0 = 0 DES is disabled (Default) ATS89.1 = 1 Triple DES is preferred ATS89.1 = 0 Single DES is preferred (Default)
AT&ZI1=n. Please refer to the section entitled “Data over Speech Channel” in Chapter 4 for details. To allow the Omni TA128 to answer the incoming call, you need to set S0 to a value greater than 0 (i.e. ATS0=1). Omni TA128 will answer the call and use asynchronous to...
Making V.110 Calls Asynchronous V.110 Calls Before ATDIxxx command is issue to make the dialing, you need to make sure that the Omni TA128 is in the asynchronous mode (AT&M0). Then use the following commands to configure V.110: AT Command...

User rate = 56000bps ATB11 User rate = 64000bps Table 9-3 Note : The Omni TA128 does not support network independent clock compensation. The synchronous timing source must be supplied by the Omni TA128, which is phase locked to the network synchronous clock.
DTMF tone/pulse dialing can be plugged into any one of the two RJ-11 sockets (labeled phone 1 and phone 2) of the Omni TA128. This chapter will outline the steps you need to take to place and answer analog calls via your ISDN line.
Use ATDAs (ATDBs) to place a call for the analog adapter 1 (analog adapter 2) The way the analog ports work for Omni TA128 is: once the analog adapter's hook sensor detects that the telephone device’s handset is picked up (off hook), it sends a SETUP message to the ISDN central exchange to request a connection.
Chapter 11 - Advanced ISDN Call Control Chapter 11 - Advanced ISDN Call Control Call Control for DSS1 (Digital Subscriber Signaling #1) In order to initiate an DSS1 ISDN call, two information elements are necessary: The Bearer Capability element indicates what kind of bearer service is desired. It is also used for compatibility checking in the addressed entity.
Chapter 11 - Advanced ISDN Call Control Bearer-Capability and Low-Layer-Compatibility information elements will be determined when you configure the B channel protocols using the command ATBnn. The outgoing Low-Layer-Compatibility information element can be turned on or off by setting S80 bit ‘n’ as follows: n = 4 for the analog adapter 2 n = 6 for ISDN data calls n = 7 for the analog adapter 1...
The default settings of the Phone Number and Subaddress of all the types of calls are UNASSIGNED - meaning the SETUP message sent by the Omni TA128 contains neither Calling-Party-Number nor Calling-Party-Subaddress information elements. The command AT&ZO? can be used to browse the current settings of the own numbers and subaddresses.
If this suffix digit is omitted, the switch will assume the EAZ as 0. Each type of outgoing call of the Omni TA128 can be assigned with one origination EAZ by using the command AT&ZO x =Origination_EAZ , (where x = I for ISDN data calls, A for the analog adapter 1, and B for the analog adapter 2).
(e.g. the calling user) and the addressed entity, can be used for the same purpose as the MSN. Since the Omni TA128 is highly integrated and multi-functional, it can be imagined as a “black box” that contains multiple distinct terminals. Each of these "internal terminals"...
TA128 will, by default, ignore the call as it may be intended for other devices that share the same S/T interface (S0 bus) with the Omni TA128. If you want the Omni TA128 to answer inbound calls as often as possible, you can set the best-effort call answering bit as follows: Answer call only when number matched (by default) S119.3=0...
Chapter 11 - Advanced ISDN Call Control Data Call Indication Data calls are accepted the same way as in any modem. When alerting, the Omni TA128 will send the first RING message to the DTE with a format as follows: RING <CR><LF>...
Chapter 11 - Advanced ISDN Call Control Placing a Call To initiate a call, configure the Omni TA128 according to the Bearer Service (or protocol) you want to use. ATBnn for ISDN data call Placing a call for DSS1 The ATDx command is used for dialing as follows.
Omni TA128. User-To-User Information Omni TA128 supports user-to-user information exchange via the D channel. To transmit a message, use ATT4<message..> command. The angle brackets '<' and '>' are part of the this command. The message will be included in an User-To-User Information Element which is sent with the first valid MESSAGE that follows.
Omni TA128’s pre-stored password list. With a Type 2 connection, the remote terminal will be prompted to enter the password at the initial connection and the local Omni TA128 will match the entered password with the pre- stored password list.
Supervisory password is required for adding or to modify the entries. The default supervisor password is ZyXEL when Omni TA128 is shipped from the factory. This supervisory password is send to remote if Type 1 security is set at remote end.
Non-password Auto Call Back Function In addition to the standard modem-like security functions described in the previous section, the Omni TA128 provides another simpler call back function. The Calling Party Number (origination address) will be checked against the 5 pre-stored call-back numbers before the B channel is connected.
This chapter describes how to upgrade flash EPROM firmware when it is available. Upgrading with Flash EPROM Your Omni TA128 modem employs a flash EEPROM that lets you conveniently download updated firmware and program the modem with new features and enhanced functions.
Page 76
In the unlikely event that your modem fails to respond to AT commands after upgrading the EEPROM follow the procedure below. Power cycle the Omni TA128. The Cold reset will prompt the TA to check the integrity of the codes in the flash EEPROM.
Chapter 14 - Usage of DTE Port 2 Chapter 14 - Usage of DTE Port 2 This chapter describes how to set the TA128 into Two-DTE Port and One Analog Port mode in which two users can use the TA128 simultaneously to place two independent calls to access the Internet.
