ISDN → ISDN Communication Options
| Context |
This article describes a function or feature of the software ZOC Terminal. The feature or element of the software described here is 'ISDN Communication Options'. ZOC Terminal is a professional terminal emulator that is well known for its extensive features, security, user friendlyness, wide range of emulations and quality of emulation implementation. ZOC Terminal is a common choice to replace other terminal emulators like Putty, Kitty, Termius, Secure-CRT, Attachmate Extra!and others.
The following options are available for ISDN sessions. The options dialog offers three buttons to set the most commonly used combinations of settings.
| B1/B2/B3 | |
Here you can select the used layer-1, layer-2 and layer-3 protocol. However,
not all manufacturers implement all protocols. The default for layer-1 is
64K-HDLC, for layer2 X.75 and for layer-3 TRANS.
| |
| CEPT telematic | |
This option must be selected for using CEPT-based protocols (like the German
T-Online) because of their special packet handling.
| |
| Framesize | |
The frame size (block size) can be set from 128 to 2050 bytes. Frame sizes
greater 2048 bytes (plus overhead) are not allowed in CAPI V2.0 and should
not be used.
| |
| Windowsize | |
The window size can be selected between two and seven and sets the number
of ISDN messages that can be sent from the remote host without
acknowledgement from ZOC.
| |
| Predefined | |
These buttons set the above parameters to predefined configurations. 'Standard' will work in most cases (especially if you call hosts which use CFOS or ISDNCOM).
| |
| GLOBAL OPTIONS | |
| |
| Listen MSN | |
Here you can list all numbers (MSNs) for which ZOC will accept incoming
calls. Multiple MSNs must be separated by "|" characters, like in
"7406933|7406934". If no MSN is listed, ZOC will accept digital data
calls for all MSNs.
| |
| Source MSN | |
This field defines the phone number (MSN) that will be used as the caller
id when you make a call. If you do not list a number here, the ISDN
network will provide the main MSN of your ISDN socket.
| |
| Controller ID | |
If you are using more than one ISDN board simultaneously, select the
board ID here (default is 1).
| |
| Set system time to ISDN time | |
Since ISDN transfers the exact system time when a call is made, you can select, to set your computer's time accordingly.
| |
| Hints for use with X.25 and X.31 under CAPI 2.0 | |
To use X.25/X.31 you need to set the ISDN options and to provide
additional information with the phone number you want to call.
| |
| Connecting via X.25 | |
For X.25 connections, please use the following ISDN settings: B1=64k-HLDC, B2=X75.SLP, B3=IS2808, Blocksize=128, Window=2. To make a call, you supply the phone number and the X.25
host address separated by a bar character in the manual dial dialog or
in the phone book, e.g. 0711646464|4578545454. If you do not supply the
X.25 number, ZOC will expect to be connected to a default host.
| |
| Connecting via X.31 | |
To make a call via X.31 (i.e. X.25 via ISDN D-Channel) use the following settings: B1=64k-HLDC, B2=LAPD_X25, B3=IS2808, Blocksize=128, Window=2. The destination to call consists a leading bar character, the X.25 host address and the TEI separated by a bar characters, e.g. |02624578545454|1 If you do not supply a TEI ZOC will make the call with automatic TEI assignment. | |
