  1. Select the BRI/2 ISDN Adapter option and click the OK button. A progress window is displayed while the BRI/2 ISDN network adapter driver files are copied to your hard disk.

If RAS is not installed on your computer, you are prompted to install it now. Continue with the procedure in Step 2: Installing the Windows NT Remote Access Service (RAS). Otherwise, if RAS has already been installed on your computer, continue with the procedure in Step 3: Adding Devices to RAS (Windows NT).

Step 2: Installing the Windows NT Remote Access Service (RAS)

If RAS is not installed on your computer, perform the following procedure:

  1. After completing the procedure in Step 1: Installing the BRI/2 ISDN Network Adapter Driver (Windows NT), a Setup Message is displayed prompting you to install RAS. Click the OK button to close that prompt.
  2. In the Windows NT Setup window, type the location of your Windows NT installation files and click the Continue button. For example, if the Windows NT CD-ROM is inserted in drive D, type d:\i386.

A progress window is displayed while the RAS files are copied to your computer. After the files are copied, add the BRI/2 ports (RAS devices) to RAS. Continue with the procedure in Step 3: Adding Devices to RAS (Windows NT).

Step 3: Adding Devices to RAS (Windows NT)

After RAS is installed (or if RAS was already installed), the Add RAS Device window (Figure 16) is displayed.

Figure 16. Add RAS Device Window

Complete the following procedure to add devices to RAS:

  1. In the Add RAS Device window, select ISDN1-DLGCBRI (representing port 1 of the first BRI/2 board in the computer) and click the OK button. The Remote Access Setup window is displayed showing the DLGCBRI device for port 1.
  2. Click the Add button to add another port (port 2). The Add RAS Device window is displayed again.
  3. Select ISDN2-DLGCBRI from the Add RAS Device window and click the OK button.
  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to add ports 3 and 4.

After all ports are added, the Remote Access Setup window contains an entry for each port as shown in Figure 17. Continue with the procedure in Step 4: Configuring RAS Devices (Windows NT).

Step 4: Configuring RAS Devices (Windows NT)

After adding the ports, configure each port using the following procedure:

  1. In the Remote Access Setup window (Figure 17, Remote Access Setup Window after Adding Four Ports) select one of the ISDN ports and click the Configure button. The Configure Port Usage dialog box is displayed (Figure 18).

Figure 18. Configure Port Usage Dialog Box

  1. Choose one of the options under Port Usage and click the OK button to return to the Remote Access Setup window.
    Note: If you are running Windows NT Workstation, you can assign the third option (Dial out and Receive calls) on only one of the four ISDN ports. If you are running Windows NT Server, you may select more than one port to receive calls or dial out and receive calls.
  2. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for all ports listed in the Remote Access Setup window.

After configuring the port usage, continue with the procedure in Step 5: Configuring Network Protocols (Windows NT).

Step 5: Configuring Network Protocols (Windows NT)

All ports on a BRI/2 board use the same network protocols and configuration. To select and configure network protocols for the BRI/2 board, complete the following procedure:

  1. In the Remote Access Setup window (Figure 17, Remote Access Setup Window after Adding Four Ports) click the Network button to configure the network protocols for all BRI/2 ISDN ports. The Network Configuration dialog box (Figure 19) is displayed.

Figure 19. Network Configuration Dialog Box

Note: This dialog box is displayed only if you configured a port to dial out and receive calls on the Configure Port Usage dialog box (Figure 18, Configure Port Usage Dialog Box). If you configured the ports to dial out only, the Network Configuration dialog box includes only the Dial out Protocols area. If you configured the ports to receive calls only, the Network Configuration dialog box includes only the Server Settings area.
  1. If you are connecting to an Internet Service Provider (ISP), select TCP/IP in the Dial out Protocols area. If TCP/IP is not yet installed, return to this configuration after you have installed the TCP/IP protocol.
  2. If you set up a port to receive calls, configure the Server Settings for the protocols you selected. In the Network Configuration dialog box, Select TCP/IP in the Server Settings area, and click the Configure button to configure the TCP/IP remote client options. The RAS Server TCP/IP Configuration dialog box (Figure 20) is displayed.

  2. Install the Windows NT Service Pack (whatever Service Pack is supported by the Intel Dialogic System Release). This is required to update RAS components.
  3. After installing the Service Pack, restart your computer in order for the installation process to complete and the new settings to take effect.

Step 6: Adding Multiple BRI/2 ISDN Network Adapter Drivers (Windows NT)

After you have installed the first BRI/2 ISDN network adapter driver and restarted your computer, you can install additional BRI/2 ISDN network adapter drivers to enable you to use other BRI/2 boards installed in your computer for ISDN dial-up networking.

Repeat the steps listed below for each additional BRI/2 board installed in your computer:

  1. Install the BRI/2 ISDN network adapter driver using the procedure in Step 1: Installing the BRI/2 ISDN Network Adapter Driver (Windows NT).
  2. At the end of the procedure, the Remote Access Setup window is displayed showing any previously installed devices. Click the Add button to add the additional BRI/2 devices to RAS.
  3. Add the additional BRI/2 devices to RAS using the procedure in Step 3: Adding Devices to RAS (Windows NT). Note that the port numbers are different as you add BRI/2 boards; the port numbers for the first board are ISDN1-ISDN4; the port numbers for the second board are ISDN5-ISDN8, and so on.
  4. At the end of the procedure, the Remote Access Setup window contains an entry for each installed port.
  5. Configure the RAS devices using the procedure in Step 4: Configuring RAS Devices (Windows NT).

    After configuring the port usage, click the Continue button to close the Remote Access Setup window. The Network window is displayed showing the Intel Dialogic BRI/2 ISDN Adapter you just installed.
