Site Preparation

The Basic Rate ISDN line and computer serial port must be

properly conﬁgured.

Ordering,Installing, and Conﬁguring the ISDN Line

3Com has determined the optimal ISDN line conﬁgurations

for the 3Com Impact digital modem and has provided that

conﬁguration data to many telephone companies.To simplify

the ordering process for an ISDN digital line,use the following

simpliﬁed ISDN ordering code:

3ComA * J6

If your digital modem has an internal analog fax modem

(Models 3C872 and 3C877),then two directory numbers

(telephone numbers) will be required to allow a voice call and

a fax modem call to occur at the same time.When you tell the

telephone company the ISDN ordering code (3ComA * J6) let

the representative know that you will need two directory

numbers.

If your telephone company does not support simpliﬁed ISDN

ordering codes,refer to Table 1 for ISDN ordering information.

An internal NetworkTermination Type 1 device (NT1) is built

into the 3Com Impact digital modem,so an external NT1 is

not usable.When the telephone company installs the ISDN

Installing the 3Com Impact Digital Modem

The 3Com Impact digital modem has an RS-232-C

asynchronous interface port that operates at data rates of up

to 115.2 Kbps.Some computers may need additional

hardware or driver software for reliable operation.

IBM PCs and Compatible Computers

An IBM



PC or compatible computer must have a buffered

UART (universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter) chip,called

the 16550 UART,to operate at 115 Kbps.Under Microsoft



Windows



,run the Microsoft Diagnostic Program (

msd

) at the

DOS prompt and select COM Ports within msd.The UARTs

present in your computer are listed under each COM port.

To operate at the maximum data rate,install an enhanced

16550 UART expansion card in your PC.If you have a

nonupgradable PC with a slower UART (16450 or 8250),the

3Com Impact digital modem can operate at lower data rates,

since it automatically adjusts to the PC serial COM port data

rate.The COMM.DRV driver for Windows 3.1 only allows data

rates of up to 38.4 Kbps.If you have a UART that supports

higher rates than this (for example,16550),you must install the

TurboCom



enhanced driver that is provided with the digital

modem.

Apple Macintosh Computers

Motorola



68XXX-based Macintosh



systems support a

maximum asynchronous serial port data rate of 57.6 Kbps.

Power Macintosh



computers may operate at higher serial

port data rates.

Installing the 3Com Impact Digital Modem

Follow the appropriate procedure for installing the

3Com Impact digital modem in your computer.Refer to

Figure1 during the installation procedure.
