ISDN and Switched 56K Framing (NDIS 5.1)
Note NDIS 5. x has been deprecated and is superseded by NDIS 6. x. For new NDIS driver development, see Network Drivers Starting with Windows Vista. For information about porting NDIS 5. x drivers to NDIS 6. x, see Porting NDIS 5.x Drivers to NDIS 6.0.
Initially, ISDN B channels (not D channels) should be used. Multiple B channel support is done through NDISWAN's multilink support. Initially, bit-synchronous HDLC framing with NRZ encoding should be used. Transparency should be provided by the driver or ISDN hardware. It is also the responsibility of the ISDN driver or hardware to provide for NRZ encoding, to calculate the FCS to add the PPP end flag (0x7E), and to insert any inter-frame time fill. Switched 56K drivers should frame in the same manner as ISDN.
