4.12.2. Procedure for Windows 2000

Before performing these procedures, ensure that only one BRI/2 board is installed in your computer, even if you will eventually be installing multiple BRI/2 boards. Then, after installing the Intel Dialogic System Software, install the ISDN network adapter driver for that board.

The basic steps for installing the BRI/2 ISDN network adapter driver are as follows. More detailed procedures are given in the following sections.

1. Install the BRI/2 ISDN network adapter driver for the first board.
2. If a multiple-board configuration is required, shut down the system and install the next BRI/2 board. Be sure to install one board at a time, and then install the driver for that board.
3. Create a dial-up connection.

Step 1: Installing the BRI/2 ISDN Network Adapter Driver (Windows 2000)

Make sure that the files netdbri.inf and dlgcbri.sys are in C:\Program Files\Dialogic\Drvr after the Intel Dialogic System Software is installed, then follow these steps to install the driver for the BRI/2 board:

1. In the Windows 2000 Control Panel, double-click Add/Remove Hardware to start the Add/Remove Hardware Wizard.
2. On the Choose a Hardware Task screen, select Add/Troubleshoot a device, and follow the prompts to add a new device.
3. When prompted, select the option Search for a suitable driver for my device (recommended), and specify the directory location of the driver files (default is C:\Program Files\Dialogic\Drvr). This is the location of the netdbri.inf and dlgcbri.sys files.

   Following the Add/Remove Hardware Wizard, the system copies the dlgcbri.sys driver file to the winnt\system32\drivers directory, then presents a series of screens prompting you to configure the Intel Dialogic BRI/2 ISDN Adapter.

4. Select the ISDN switch type or D-channel protocol that your phone company uses (for example, European ISDN DSS1). Continue to follow the prompts, entering the appropriate information for your network. For example, you could set the ISDN phone number at this time. Consult your network administrator for the proper settings.
5. Shut down the system and install the next BRI/2 board if multiple-board configuration is required. Be sure to install one board at a time, and then install the driver for that board.
6. Repeat steps 1 through 5 until you finish the installation of all BRI/2 boards.

Step 2: Creating a Dial-Up Connection (Windows 2000)

Follow these steps to set up a dial-up connection and establish a call:

1. In the Windows 2000 Control Panel, double-click Network and Dial-up Connections, then Make a New Connection to start the Network Connection Wizard.
2. On the Network Connection Type screen, select the configuration type (for example, Dial-up to private network), and follow the prompts to enter the information appropriate for your network. Consult your network administrator for the proper settings.

   Following the Network Connection Wizard, the system displays the Connect Dial-up Connection window.

3. Click the Properties button and set the dial-up connection options appropriate for your network. Consult your network administrator for the proper settings.
4. After setting the dial-up connection options, click the OK button to return to the Connect Dial-up Connection window.

At this time, you can make a dial-up connection and establish the ISDN call connection with a remote ISDN device.
