This manual should contain all information you need. As every PC is different, it is always possible that problems occur that are due to specific configurations of your PC.
The driver software for the PrimuX adapters can be used on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 2008 Server and 2012 Server. Linux The driver software for the PrimuX adapters can be used with a Linux kernel version 2.4.x (2.4.10 or higher) or 2.6.x and 3.x. The CAPICFG TRACER tools need the GTK libraries 1.2...

• In the GTK based installation program simply click Begin Install. The driver and utilities will be installed, compiled and loaded As the PrimuX drivers are not licensed under the GPL, recent Linux kernels may show a warning message (tainted kernel) when loading the drivers. You can safely ignore this message, though.
This command loads the current configuration from the driver. CAPICFG will query you to save your changes before deleting the current configuration. Open remote configuration This command opens a connection to a PrimuX driver loaded on another PC and loads its configuration. On the other PC the RMTCAPI daemon has to be started for this to work.

Please input the IP address of the remote PC and the port used by the RMTCAPI daemon. Then click on Ok. Open This command loads a previously saved configuration from disk. CAPICFG will query you to save your changes before deleting the current configuration. Save This command saves the current configuration to disk.

CAPI Service These pages show information about the features supported by the CAPI service. You can use this list to check if the driver supports specific features some applications require. General This page shows the manufacturer data, version and revision information and an optional serial number the adapter reports to applications.

RAS service On this page you will find the number of channels available for internet dial up connections. Adapter settings On this page you will find some general information about the selected adapter. Some adapter types (i.e. adapters connected to the serial port) need additional settings. These settings will be shown on this page, too.

Line type Some technical data about the kind of line this port can be connected to. Switch Type You can get information about the switch and interface type from your phone provider. As most countries today use the ETSI-DSS1 standard the default setting should be a good start.

same length and the lowest extension has to be numerically smaller than the highest extension. Depending on the port it may be necessary to add a trunk number to both numbers. Advanced The advanced settings are quite technical and require some basic knowledge of ISDN hardware. Adapters for the S0 bus offer the following advanced settings: Direct Dial In (NT2) If you set this to Yes the driver will automatically generate a SETUP ACK message on incomplete numbers.

Group). The Hunt Group setting makes sense when a PBX can sense a deactivated line and will automatically distribute inbound calls only to active lines. Operating Mode [only available on adapters with NT mode support] Here you can select if the port should be used as terminal equipment (setting TE- Terminal Equipment (recommended)) or network termination.

Service Settings You can specify what services should be available on each port. If you put a S2M and a S0 adapter into your PC you could configure the S2M for the CAPI service and the S0 adapter for the RAS service so it could be used for remote access. To configure a port for a specific service just drag the corresponding service symbol onto the port and drop it.

Dial-In Numbers On this page you can select the range of extensions on which calls should be selected for this service. Please make sure that the specified lowest and highest extension lie inside the configured extension range for this port! CAPICFG...
ISDN over LAN The RMTCAPI daemon and the RMTCONFIG application enable you to share ISDN ad- apters over a TCP/IP network. To enable sharing you need to start the RMTCAPI daemon on those PCs with ISDN hardware. Other PCs can be set up to access the shared adapters by using RMTCONFIG.
When your local network is configured for DNS you can use DNS names instead of IP addresses when configuring shared ISDN access. CAPI Extensions The following chapters describe extensions to the CAPI standard the PrimuX drivers offer. These informations only will be useful for software developers. CAPI Extensions...
NT Mode The NT Mode can be enabled on supported adapters using CAPICFG. The port settings (Switch Type, TEI etc.) retain their meaning in NT Mode. This way it is possible to create PTMP and PTP ports. Simple When set to NT - Network Termination [simple] the driver will handle all NT peculiarities by itself so you can use standard applications.
