Installing Eicon Diva 2.0 ISA ISDN card into
an FT2400 running NT 4.0
Prior to beginning the ISDN card installation, it would be worthwhile
copying the !GDI000A.CFG file from the WIN_NT\ENGLISH\DISKS\I386\DRIVERS1 folder on the
Eicon install CD to the SCU floppy. Also, make sure that the NT4.0 service pack 3 has been
installed.
Remove the left-hand side panel of the FT2400 and insert the card into one of the ISA
slots. At this point of the installation, standard anti-static precautions must be
observed.
When the card is fitted, replace the side panel and boot the FT2400 using the SCU Floppy
Disk. This can be created from the System Utility CD that is supplied with the server.
When the SCU utility is started, enter Step 2: Add and Remove Boards. This will then show
a list of devices found in the installed in the server. It may be necessary to add the
ISDN card to the list, although during testing it was auto-detected. If you have to
manually add the card, then select the EICON.DIEHL DIVA 2.0 ADAPTER.
As default this is allocated to IRQ5 and I/O range 200-207 by the SCU. Leave on IRQ5, but
change the I/O range to 240-247. Once that is done, exit back to the SCU main menu, and
save the configuration. Once the configuration is saved, exit the SCU utility, and restart
the machine.
Log into NT as Administrator or equivalent, insert the ISDN Software
Suite CD into the CD drive, and from the root of the CD, run the CDSETUP file.
The start-up screen will appear giving various start-up options. Select the
Windows NT English option, and when the second screen appears, select Start Diva for
Windows NT Installation now
The next windows box to appear is for selecting the actual card you have installed. In
this case the card is Eicon.Diehl DIVA 2.0 Adapter. Select and click OK. This will
then start installing some drivers.
The next dialogue box is to let you know that the server contains more than one hardware
bus and to let you know where the server has detected the ISDN card. Typically, the type
will be ISA, and Bus Number 0. Accept the values presented by clicking OK.
At the next dialogue box, titled EICON.DIEHL DIVA 2.0 Adapter
Set-up (2.01) there are some changes to be made. The FT2400 SCU assigns IRQ5 to the
ISDN card, whereas the ISDN card’s own software assigns IRQ10. Change this to 5. It
will correctly detect the I/O address as starting at 240.
The third option – titled ISDN Protocol (Switch Type) will be blank. Clicking
the reveal arrow will reveal the various ISDN settings for different countries. Select
Europe and other countries, Euro_ISDN (E-DSS1), leave the rest of the settings as
they are, and click the OK button.
At the next dialogue box, accept the default button click. When the Port List appears,
click OK, and accept the default button click at the next dialogue box. At the next
dialogue box asking you to enter the path to the NT install files, insert your
NT Server CD, and type the path as D:\I386 (assuming your CD drive is drive
D:\). This will then load the Windows NT Remote Access Service (RAS). The RAS Capable
Device will be shown as ISDN1 – DIWAN, this is correct, click OK, and the
dialogue box will disappear leaving the Remote Access Set-up showing the port, device and
type. These are all correct, but there are some other options that need changing at this
point.
Click the Configure button to give you the usage types. As default it only selects Receive
Calls Only. We recommend setting this to Dial Out and Receive Calls. Click OK to close
that dialogue box, and then click the Network button.
This option is for network protocols required to connect to the server. To make it as easy
as possible, de-select the IPX tick boxes, but make sure that the TCP/IP tick boxes are
selected. All other options and settings are correct, so click on the OK button to return
to the Remote Access Set-up screen. At this screen, click continue. At the next dialogue
box telling you that RAS has been successfully installed, click OK, and select the default
button of the next dialogue box. When the WAN-Miniport Adapter Set-up (2.01) appears,
you will need to remove your NT Server CD, and replace it in the CD Drive with the ISDN
Software Suite CD. Once this is done, and the CD activity light has gone out, click the
Continue button. At the next dialogue box, click OK, and when the Controller List box
appears, this should display
1 [2] "My DIVA 2.0 ( 2)" Eicon.Diehl DIVA 2.0 Adapter.
Click OK to continue loading software, and at the next dialogue box, click OK. The NT
Network properties window will appear click OK to close it, and when you are asked to
restart your computer, click OK.
The FT2400 will then re-boot, and you will then be able to use the ISDN facility.
