We Welcome Your Suggestions We’ve made every effort to provide you with useful, accurate information.

  • Page 6: Chapter 1 The Courier

    Chapter 1 The Courier The Courier V.Everything Internal Modem makes any IBM-compatible computer with an Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) or Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) expansion bus capable of exchanging data with modems or fax machines over standard, analog telephone lines at speeds of up to 33.6 Kbps.
  • Page 7 Calling Online Services Each online service, such as America Online or CompuServe, provides its own customized communications software package. A couple of these packages are included with the Courier. These packages do the dialing and guide you through the steps of registration.

  • Page 8: Courier Controls And Connectors

    Courier Controls and Connectors This section shows the DIP switches and connectors on the Courier and indicates where to find more information about each. Jumpers SEE PAGES 2-4 & 2-7 Figure 1-1.

  • Page 9: Features

    Features 33.6 Kbps Connectivity The Courier contains software that enables 31.2 and 33.6 Kbps connection rates, as well as improves throughput at lower speeds. While line conditions may not always allow for 33.6 Kbps connections, the new software makes it more likely that your Courier will achieve and maintain 28.8 Kbps connections.

  • Page 10: Dial Security

    V.Everything The Courier provides full support of the V.34 standard, V.Fast Class, V.32 terbo, and many other modulation schemes, spanning the range of speeds between 33.6 Kbps and 300 bps. We call this unique combination of abilities V.Everything. See the Compatibility section in Appendix B, Technical Specifications, for details.

  • Page 11: Distinctive Ring Support

    Calls to and from Modems and Fax Machines When used with fax-capable communications software, the Courier auto-detects and responds to calls from modems and Group III fax machines using EIA-standard Class 1 or 2.0 fax software. Testing ITU-T V.54 loopback testing is available. The Courier can perform analog, digital, and remote digital loopback tests.
  • Page 12 Dedicated- and Leased-Line Support The Courier does not need to be connected to the public switched telephone network. You can connect a standard telephone cable between the Courier and another modem and make connections without even dialing. You can also connect the Courier to a line that you lease from the telephone company.

  • Page 13: Chapter 2 Installing The Courier

    What You Need You must have these before you start: An IBM-Compatible Computer Your computer must have an ISA or EISA expansion bus and an available expansion slot. Check your computer’s user’s manual to be sure. An Analog Telephone Line The Courier requires a standard, analog telephone line.
