    Forwarding, 3-way Call) available on DIVA T/A models equipped with analog device ports. Note: If you want to use DIVA T/A’s Calling Features, ask your ISDN service provider for the values of the Feature Keys. You need these values to ensure the DIVA T/A has full access to the features.

  • Page 9: What Is Autospid

    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 ISDN Modem Reference Guide 9...

  • Page 10: Non-Initializing Terminal Mode

    (North America only) Non-Initializing Terminal (NIT) mode is a new National ISDN protocol feature which enables the DIVA T/A to operate without SPIDs. Your ISDN provider must support NIT mode to be able to use To configure the DIVA T/A for Non-Initializing Terminal mode,...

  • Page 11: What Is Multilink Ppp

    DIVA T/A supports COM port rates of up to 230.4 kbps. However, some computer COM ports are limited to 115.2 kbps. If you want to use your DIVA T/A at its maximum speed, install a “fast COM port” card (UART 16650 based).

  • Page 12: What Is Bacp/Bod And Dba

    DIVA T/A supports the Bandwidth Allocation Control Protocol (BACP) and Bandwidth on Demand (BOD). These two features combine to allow the DIVA T/A to establish multilink sessions that provide larger amounts of bandwidth than that offered over a single dialup channel. Such multilink sessions are established according to procedures defined in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) PPP Multilink specification (RFC 1717).

  • Page 14: What Is Data Compression

    (for example, the PC compression may reduce the number of bytes that go through the serial interface, the PC has the quicker CPU, etc.). The DIVA T/A compression negotiation, however, will assume control should no compression be detected or the initial negotiation fail.
