About Configuration Profiles

A profile is a set of parameters that define a particular ISDN setup.

When you installed the DIVA software, the Configuration Wizard helped you configure your
ISDN settings. This set of settings was given the default name Profi l e0.

In addition to this profile, you can configure two other profiles that define different ISDN
setups, which can correspond to the needs of your different applications. For example, you
may configure profiles to match the ISDN setup needed to connect to your office, your
Internet Service Provider (ISP), and CompuServe. When you need a particular ISDN
configuration, you simply select the appropriate profile. This saves you the trouble of
reconfiguring all your ISDN parameters each time you switch applications.

Parameter Categories

The different settings are described briefly below. The categories correspond with the panels
in the Configuration Tool.

Configuring Profiles

To configure a profile manually using the Configuration Tool, see page 37.

To configure a profile using the Configuration Wizard, see page 54.

General

General ISDN settings include your location and data protocol (which must match the
protocol implemented at the other end of the connection). If your DIV AT/A is not
equipped with phone ports, you must also specify your ISDN phone numbers in this
panel. For more details, see page 38.

Phone Ports If your DIVA T/A is equipped with analog device ports, the Phone Port 1 and Phone

Port 2 tabs allow you to specify several options, such as which phone numbers the
analog ports should answer. For more details, see see page 41. For more information on
analog device support, see page 104.

Data

The Data tab allows you to configure data port and protocol options. For more details,
see page 44.

BACP

The BACP tab allows you to specify the Bandwidth Allocation Control Protocol and ISDN
cost reduction parameters. This tab is visible only if the data protocol is set to ‘MultiLink
PPP with BACP’ or ‘MultiLink PPP with AODI’, and is discussed in more detail on page 46.

X.25

The X.25 settings only apply if AO/DI is supported by your ISDN service provider, and is
visible only if the data protocol is set to ‘MultiLink PPP with AODI’. Use this panel to
specify the X.25 version and X.25 facilities as required. For more details, see page 48.

Advanced

The Advanced tab allows you to specify advanced ISDN parameters such as Call
Routing, and is optional. For more details, see page 51.

Voice to PC

This tab is visible only if the ‘Voice to PC’ option is enabled in the ‘Advanced’ tab. For
more details, see page 53.
