Install an ISDN adapter

Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2

To install an ISDN adapter

  1. Install an Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) adapter and start your computer. If you install more than one ISDN adapter, you must restart your computer after you have installed the ISDN drivers. Otherwise, all available ISDN ports may not show up when you configure your network connection for ISDN.

  2. You can use Device Manager to configure your system so that your ISDN adapter knows what type of telephone switch it is connected to. The switch type simply refers to the brand of equipment and software revision level that the telephone company uses to provide you with ISDN service. There are only a few types of switches in the world and usually just one in countries/regions other than the United States.

Notes

  • To use Device Manager, you must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group.

  • To open Device Manager, click Start, right-click My Computer, click Manage, and then click Device Manager.

  • If your ISDN adapter is internal to your computer, it appears in Network adapters. If the ISDN adapter is external to your computer, it appears in Modems.

Information about functional differences

  • Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
