ISDN, there is no analog conversion. ISDN transmits data digitally, resulting in a very clear transmission quality. There is none of the static and noise of analog transmissions that can slow transmission speed. DIVA T/A PC Card Reference Guide 4...

With the dramatic reduction in file transfer time, ISDN makes even multi-megabyte files available to recipients within minutes, not hours. Videoconferencing is an ISDN application that's growing fast in popularity, and ISDN is currently the only way of making it happen. DIVA T/A PC Card Reference Guide 5...
The sender/receiver can be any type of terminal, printer, computer or other device that supports an interface to the network. DIVA T/A PC Card Reference Guide 6...

There is no single transmission rate defined for primary rate access. In North America and Japan, for example, primary rate interface is based upon the T1 rate (defined in detail shortly) of 1.544 Mbps. In Europe, by comparison, the rate is 2.048 Mbps. DIVA T/A PC Card Reference Guide 7...
We recommend the use of the following ISDN Ordering codes: When ordering your ISDN line, use these codes depending on which method your ISDN provider supports: EZ-ISDN: Use ordering code 1 IOC: Use ordering code R DIVA T/A PC Card Reference Guide 8...
AutoSPID, SPID guessing, or configured manually, ISDN will fail to initialize (the D-LED will flash). The only way to use the DIVA T/A without entering SPIDs, is to configure the ISDN numbers for Non-Initializing Terminal mode. DIVA T/A PC Card Reference Guide 9...
No AutoSPID information will be stored in non- volatile memory; however, the auto-detection status remains available. Note: Check with your ISDN service provider to determine if they support Non-Initializing terminal mode. DIVA T/A PC Card Reference Guide 10...
The primary advantage, therefore, is a reduction of dial up charges; a second line is only used (and hence paid for) when it is required. DIVA T/A PC Card Reference Guide 12...
No user configuration is required to enable the DIVA T/A’s compression functionality. Compression algorithms currently supported by the DIVA T/A include Stacker LZS (Hi/fn), MPPC (Microsoft), and Ascend. DIVA T/A PC Card Reference Guide 13...
A command line may be aborted at any time by entering < ctrl-x > (ASCII 024). Carriage returns are programmable through register S3. The default terminator is the ASCII <CR> character. Characters that precede the AT prefix are ignored. DIVA T/A PC Card Reference Guide 14...
