  • Page 63: 128 Kbps Speeds

    V.42bis is an international data compression standard commonly used in modem communications. This standard provides real-time data compression. The NETGEAR expertise in data compression has been brought into its ISDN applications, which are much higher in speed than modem communications.
  • Page 64: Isdn Communications (Europe)

    Reference Guide for the Model XM128 ISDN Digital Modem Because the V.42bis algorithm needs an error-free transmission channel between the compression and decompression processes, it can only work with a protocol that has error control competence. The X.75 and V.120 protocols can be used together with V.42bis data compression. The V.110 protocol, on the other hand, is just an R-interface layer 1 adaptation protocol without error-control and is thus inadequate for V.42bis.

    Reference Guide for the Model XM128 ISDN Digital Modem Although not defined in X.75, the XID frame is based on the encoding in ISO Standard 8885 and on being used in V.42/V.42bis. In addition to the compression parameters, XID can be used to negotiate such packet parameters as window or packet size.
