About the Netopia ISDN PC Card
Congratulations on your purchase of the Farallon Netopia ISDN
PC Card! The Netopia ISDN PC Card provides easy and affordable
high-speed Basic Rate ISDN connection to the Internet or to your
office local area network (LAN).
Internet access. The Netopia ISDN PC Card allows Internet connec-
tions over an ISDN line at speeds of up to 512 kilobits per second.
With this speed, it's easier and more cost-effective to access online
services or browse the World Wide Web and download high-resolution
graphics, video clips, interactive games, or music.
Work-at-home access. The Netopia ISDN PC Card provides the tele-
commuter with fast access to network resources back at the office.
You can access applications such as email, or download data from a
remote database, in a fraction of the time it would take with a conven-
tional analog modem.
Ease of use. The Netopia ISDN PC Card can be installed in a notebook
computer or any computer equipped with a PC Card (PCMCIA) slot.
Advanced PC Card technology emulates the computer's COM port,
complementing your communications application without the need for
additional device drivers, and providing higher throughput than exter-
nal serial ISDN devices. Netopia configuration software makes it easy
to set up and use the PC Card.
The Netopia ISDN PC Card is available in S/T and U interface ver-
sions. The U version offers an integrated-NT1 (Network Termination
device) so that no other equipment is required.
