How to Install ISDN Modem ?

The procedure is exactly the same for an ISDN modem. Obtain the proper .inf and related files from the manufacturer. Install it like a regular modem.

The two types of modems use different types of phone service. A regular modem interfaces witha normal subscriber loop and plugs into a standard phone jack. An ISDN modem requires ISDN service. Some ISDN equipment includes the ISDN termination circuit, others need an external terminator. Check your owners manual.

As cavedweller said, there is no difference in installing an ISDN modem and an analogue modem with only 2 slight differences.

1. Plug it in

2. Go to Modems in control panel and double click on modem.

3. Use the detect and it will tell you it has found a standard modem on whichever come.

4. Use your driver disk to install the correct driver.

4a. Take note here, there are usually 3 different type of drivers here. 1 that only uses 1 B channel (64k) in Sync mode, the other also uses only 1 B channel but in Async mode and the last uses both channels to get the whopping 128 k?s. Your choice will depend on what you are using it for.

That's it. The only other diffence is the reverse switch on the modem itself. Usually normal mode works fine but I have had to sometimes fill the switch and use reverse.
