C-10 Page iii ZyXEL omni.net plus Quick Start Guide One - Introduction The ZyXEL omni.net plus ISDN Terminal Adapter sets a new price/performance standard for the explosively growing Internet and telecommuting applications. When used with off-the-shelf Internet or remote access client software, the omni.net enables mobile or home users to connect to the Internet or branch offices over ISDN lines Hassle Free! The same device also allows a user to connect to the analog world via a modem, fax machine, or telephone connected directly to the omni.net. To take advantage of constant new developments, the omni.net employs flash EPROMs, which allow for convenient uploading of newly available firmware which preserves your hardware investment. ZyXEL’s expertise in data compression has been brought to the omni.net. With its V.42bis compression and Hi/fn™ LZS® Compression on the B Channels, the omni.net can effectively communicate at speeds up to 460Kbps over ISDN lines. The omni.net also has two analog ports to connect analog devices such as fax machines, modems, and telephones. Two different analog devices can communicate over the two B channels to two different locations simultaneously, so you can send a fax and make a voice call at the same time. The analog ports also recognize standard DTMF tones as well as pulse dialing. Unpacking Your omni.net Your omni.net should come with the equipment listed below.
