  • YES! Ositech has engineered the product to look like a standard modem to all Card and Socket Services. This means that your internet, fax and data software will work as it would with other modems.
  • The DPI Technology is used only if the modem is connected to the handset cable of a digital phone system (as found in many offices and hotels).

  • ODI and NDIS drivers for DOS and Windows 3.x, plus 32-Bit NDIS3 driver support for Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT

  • The Five of Hearts II will also work in other operating systems (Unix, Macintosh etc…) with Card and Socket Services because it will be recognized as a generic modem. In these environments the DPI technology will still work, but the operator has to follow the instructions indicated in the advanced configuration section of the manual or README.txt.

 

What is DPI™ Technology?
  • DPI™; stands for Digital Phone Interface and is used with PBX phone systems.
  • This new technology from Ositech Communications Inc. is built into the PC card and allows the modem to communicate through the handset cable of many popular digital (PBX) phone systems.
  • The DPI technology will activate if the modem is connected to a digital (PBX) phone system. Otherwise, standard analog modem mode is activated.

 

What is an Analog or Digital (PBX) phone system?
  • Analog phone systems are found in most houses in North America which provide a direct connection to your telephone provider (ie. Bell Atlantic). With analog phone lines, modems automatically dial a phone number.
  • Digital (PBX) phone systems use higher current than analog phones (and can burn out modems that do not have a digital line guard). Digital phones send information from the handset to a PBX in digital format. Because of this, DPI technology can seldom dial digits automatically and requires you to manually dial the phone number on the handset.

 

How do I make a modem connection over a digital (PBX) phone line?
  1. Connect the DPI cable (modem cable with attached black coupler) to the handset cable by detaching the curly cable from the digital phone’s handset.
  2. Launch data or fax software.
  3. DPI Assistant will pop up in Windows and prompt you to lift phone hand set from cradle.
  4. Dial the phone number (indicated in the DPI Assistant or your application) on the phone’s base unit.
  5. Modem connects as if connecting through standard analog phone line.
