Yamaha Announces ISDN Reference Board for OEMs and Designers; YM-ISDN2 is a production-reference design.SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 24, 1998--Yamaha Systems Technology Inc. announces the immediate availability of an ISDN ISDN in full Integrated Services Digital Network Digital telecommunications network that operates over standard copper telephone wires or other media. production reference design board, the YM-ISDN2. Yamaha OEMs and system developers worldwide, both hardware and software, will benefit by reduced development costs and reduced time-to-market resulting from use of this reference design. Customers who develop their own system-level products (e.g. TA and router) will find this not only an excellent reference design, but also an easy transition to other Yamaha ISDN LSI LSI: see integrated circuit. (Large Scale Integration) Between 3,000 and 100,000 transistors on a chip. See SSI, MSI, VLSI and ULSI. series products. The YM-ISDN2 is a complete manufacturing package for hardware design and includes specifications, schematics, layout pattern diagrams, gerber files and bill of material. Software for production shipment is an NDIS (Network Driver Interface Specification) A network driver interface from Microsoft. See network driver interface. NDIS - Network Device Interface Specification WAN Miniport driver for Windows 95 including the ISDN Layer 3 stack supporting worldwide ISDN switches such as AT&T 5ESS, Northern Telecom DMS-100, National ISDN-1/2, NTT NTT Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation NTT New Technology Telescope NTT National Technology Transfer, Inc NTT Name That Tune (TV game show) NTT National Tree Trust NTT Number Theoretic Transform INS INS abbr. 1. Immigration and Naturalization Service 2. International News Service Noun 1. INS net64 and Euro-ISDN DSS1. The YM-ISDN2 manufacturer can select either of the two ISDN Basic Rate Interface types: the S/T interface for Europe and Japan, or the U interface with Integrated NT1 for North America. The design supports on-board Layer 1 and Layer 2, and 2 B HDLC (High-level Data Link Control) A data link protocol from ISO for point-to-point communications over serial links. Derived from IBM's SDLC protocol, HDLC has been the basis for numerous protocols including X.25, ISDN, T1, SS7, GSM, CDPD, PPP and others. channels through Yamaha YTD See Year-to-date. YTD See year to date (YTD). 423 LSI, while reducing the software overhead on the host PC. Internet/Intranet Access All TCP/IP TCP/IP in full Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Standard Internet communications protocols that allow digital computers to communicate over long distances. applications are compatible with the new YM-ISDN2 including full internet and intranet access. Other applications include file transfer, CAT online terminals and home banking. In combination with a graphics board, the YM-ISDN2 can be used in image processing, communication systems, internet video conferencing, medical and educational imaging, and online shopping. Extended YM-ISDN2 Applications When a POTS interface module is added to the YM-ISDN2, it can be used as an analog communication terminal. Add a B channel transparent transmission function and it provides PC Telephony. A video CODEC and voice CODEC with the YM-ISDN2 creates an intelligent multimedia board. "We see developers and manufacturers of communication equipment systems as the primary beneficiaries of this reference design," said Iraj Zarrinnaal, Product Manager for the Yamaha Communications products. "PC business users will also like it for internet and intranet access and remote LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. access. Telecommuters, hobbyists and other private PC users will like the ease with which they can add this to their systems." Availability Samples of the YM-ISDN2 reference board and driver software are available now for customer evaluation. -0- Note to Editors: Yamaha Systems Technology Inc. was founded to manufacture and market integrated circuits, board level products and complete systems to OEMs and Distributors.
