An RS232 cable is required for connecting netMod to the PC with male connector DB9 at one end (netMod’s side), and female connector DB9 at the other end (PC’s side). For the USB port you need a cable with a connector Type B for netMod side and a connector Type A for PC side.
The Supplementary Services are services offered via ISDN connections and are described in detail in the next Chapter. netMod also supports some other services known as Additional Services, which can be activated / deactivated in the same way as Supplementary Services.
Page 23
User’s Manual of netMod Network Termination Unit netMod does not activate / deactivate the supplementary / additional services on the S-bus. Signalling and data on the S-bus are transferred transparently through the netMod. The subscriber, following the user’s instructions of the terminal device connected to the S-bus, can activate / deactivate the supplementary / additional services, separately on each device.

The incoming call is placed in a waiting state for a certain time period and the subscriber...
User’s Manual of netMod Network Termination Unit Call Hold and Enquiry Call (CH) The subscriber can have an active call on line and make a second call from the same analogue port. The key combinations are listed below: FLASH • The key to place the active call on hold and wait for the dial tone.
FSK signalling to a visual indication (e.g. INTRACOM’S IRIS 6020-CID). Note that if the CLIP service is available to the subscriber, netMod initially allows the forwarding of the calling subscriber number through FSK signalling, to the called subscriber terminal device connected to the analogue ports ab1 and ab2.
User’s Manual of netMod Network Termination Unit Calling Line Identification Restriction (CLIR) Calling Line Identification Restriction is a service offered to the calling subscriber to restrict the presentation of his/her calling party’s number to the called subscribers. The following keys combinations are valid, only when the user is a subscriber of the CLIR service in a call-by-call basis.
User’s Manual of netMod Network Termination Unit Advice Of Charge During the call (AOC-D) The Advice of Charge service informs the calling subscriber about the charge of his/her call, during the call. The subscriber should have the proper equipment in order to convert the metering pulses into an optical indication.
Some of the Call Diversion services are directly linked to the Multiple Subscriber Number service. The subscriber has to assign MSN numbers to the analogue ports of netMod to make the call diversion service functional.

Call Forwarding Unconditional to Voice Mail When the Call Forwarding Unconditional to Voice Mail function is activated, all incoming calls that refer to a certain terminal are forwarded unconditionally to a Voice Mail box of the Operator (if the service is available).
Functional / Keypad Protocol If the ISDN exchange is using the FUNCTIONAL protocol to activate / deactivate the supplementary services, you do not need to program anything. netMod initially supports the FUNCTIONAL protocol. If the ISDN exchange supports the KEYPAD protocol for the activation / deactivation of supplementary services, then it has also to be activated in netMod.
Incoming Call Management Incoming call Management is specific for using in analogue PBX’s. This feature is ideal when you have not MSN numbers available or programmed in netMod. We can program that only one POTS will be ringing at incoming calls.
Pause 3600ms Polarity Reverse With the activation of this function, netMod will reverse the polarity of each POTS port, when the connected telephone device answers or releases a telephone call. This functionality is provided only on the POTS ports and should be supported from the connected telephone device.

(analogue devices, ISDN devices, Personal Computer) and various supplementary services to the subscriber. For the best use of terminal devices connected to netMod, attention must be given when using supplementary services, during establishment, duration or answer of a call.
Connecting a FAX or MODEM to the Analogue Ports When a FAX or an analogue Modem is connected to an analogue netMod’s port, it is suggested: • to deactivate the CW (Call Waiting) service on this port. An audio tone is generated when this service is active and can interrupt the transmission of a FAX or the connection of an analogue modem.

RVS-COM Lite is an additional software package for netMod but is provided only upon request of the telephone service provider. Therefore, it may not be available in all countries.
CONNECTING TO THE INTERNET Required Settings Once you have netMod installed correctly you can use it to be connected to the Internet. To do so you must have an account to an Internet provider for ISDN Internet access. You need an Internet access account via dial-up ISDN. The old simple dial-up account will not operate.

If the subscriber wishes to use both B-channels for the connection, he / she has to give the command atb0 to netMod and to make it negotiate the ML-PPP. Before you activate this service, it is important to be registered as Internet subscriber at 128kbps, and to be sure that the ISP supports connection with the use of the ML-PPP protocol.

Once you have connected and activated netMod, you can use the command ATUPX. netMod will then ask to confirm your selection. If you answer ‘Y’ you MUST download the new firmware. Be aware to have the correct file before you answer ‘Y’. Adjust the communication parameters to 115200bps 8N1 with hardware flow control and use the protocol XMODEM to load the firmware as a send file procedure.

User’s Manual of netMod Network Termination Unit COMMUNICATION BY OTHER MEANS A PC connected to netMod is able to communicate with another PC connected to a corresponding ISDN device. A basic requirement to achieve this communication is that the other device has to use one of the communication protocols that netMod uses. netMod uses the PPP, ML-PPP, Transparent PPP and Voice Transparent protocols, which are described in more details below.
Page 59
User’s Manual of netMod Network Termination Unit Once the connection is established, you can have access to the hard disk of the remote PC (when the File Sharing is activated on the Dial-Up Server). To do so you can use the Find Computer on the Start menu.
The only difference is that these data will be transparently transferred by netMod. Only CRC inspection is done in each packet. When an error is found, the packet is rejected. netMod uses the unrestricted digital bearer capability for the outgoing calls and does not accept incoming voice calls and 3.1kHz audio.
It does not accept calls with speech or 3.1kHz audio bearer capability. Use this mode for direct communication with another netMod that also uses this mode. Use a simple communication program (like Hyper Terminal). You can not use this mode for communication with other modems.
Page 62
In order to make an AO/DI call, no additional software is required to be installed on your PC. All you need is Windows’ DialUp networking. When netMod is operating with one or both B channels open for data transmission, the AO/DI connection (i.e. 9600 bps range) is placed out of operation.
The AT COMMANDS is a group of standard commands, used for the control of communication devices like netMod. Each command starts with the AT prefix and then follows the main command body that states which function has to be performed.
