1 The AVM ISDN-Controller B1 PCI v4.0 - VoipAndGo

CAPI4Linux
CAPI4Linux
The CAPI 2.0 standard for Linux makes it possible to develop
applications and drivers that can run on any ISDN-Controller
with a compatible CAPI 2.0 driver. The CAPI4Linux software
package is based on this standard.
Information on CAPI can be found in the section “The Applications
Interface CAPI 2.0” on page 64.
CAPI4Linux makes it possible to use the entire range of ISDN
services like Internet access, Remote Access Service, telephony,
Fax G3 and file transfer over a standardized applications
interface CAPI with corresponding applications.
The CAPI4Linux software package consists of:
� a CAPI 2.0 driver
� a CAPI plug-in: an adaptation (CAPI plug-in) of the "Generic
PPP" stack (pppd = Point-to-Point Daemon) to allow
the use of Internet applications like web browsers
and FTP clients
� a CAPI 2.0 interface for the popular Fax G3 application
“HylaFAX” (CAPI4HylaFAX)
� the AVM Software Development Kit (SDK): a tool and resources
for developing CAPI 2.0-compatible applications
For more information about the CAPI plug-in for the Generic
PPP stack (pppd), see the INSTALL_ACTIVE-E.HTML file
(SUSE 8.0 or higher) or the INSTALL_ACTIVE.EN file (up to
SUSE 8.0) and the relevant Unix manual page after extracting
the archive. Open this manual page by entering man
capiplugin at the system console.
Documentation on the supplementary components of the
CAPI4Linux package like CAPI4HylaFAX and the AVM Software
Development Kit (SDK) are located as Readme files in
the corresponding tar archives on the installation CD.
