i-modul Modem 144/56k Operating Principle The i-modul Modem 144/56k 3.0 basic replies with If the i-modul Modem 144/56k 3.0 basic does not respond, this may have three probable reasons: a) the i-modul Modem 144/56k 3.0 basic is switched off or b) the i-modul Modem 144/56k 3.0 basic is not in configuration mode c) the i-modul Modem 144/56k 3.0 basic is connected to another serial port.
Functions i-modul Modem 144/56k Functions Automatic Baud Rate Detection 6.1.1 Serial Connection The automatic baud rate detection enables a continuous automatic adjustment of all parameters (baud rate, data format) of the serial interface at the i-modul Modem 144/56k 3.0 basic. The device will detect during the operation, which baud rate and which data format is applied to the serial interface.
i-modul Modem 144/56k Functions 6.1.2 Phone connection The automatic negotiation of the baud rate and the modulation standard enables the i-modul Modem 144/56k 3.0 basic to negotiate the largest possible connection speed to the remote terminal while the connection is established. The speed depends on the settings and the abilities of the modem at the remote terminal.
Functions i-modul Modem 144/56k Bit Direct Mode For special applications, the buffering of the i-modul Modem 144/56k 3.0 basic can be deactivated using the setting "unbuffered, bit direct". All data is forwarded without buffering and further influence of the i-modul Modem 144/56k 3.0 basic. This applies especially to the parity and stop bits.
i-modul Modem 144/56k Functions 6.4.2 Software data flow control (XON/XOFF) When the input buffer of the modem exceeds a certain fill state, the modem will insert an XOFF character into the data stream to the application. This character will cause the application to send no more data. It will depend on the according application software if the XON/XOFF data flow control is supported.
Functions i-modul Modem 144/56k Error Correction The i-modul Modem 144/56k 3.0 basic masters the V.42 error correction protocol including the Microcom Networking Protocol Levels 2/3/4 (MNP2, MNP3, MNP4) and the data throughput optimization MNP10. The V.42 error correction includes the protocols LAPM (Link Access Procedure for Modem) and MNP4. LAPM is the preferred error correction.
i-modul Modem 144/56k Functions Data Compression The i-modul Modem 144/56k 3.0 basic supports various data compression types. During the connection setup, it will automatically detect the type of data compression used by the remote terminal, or it is set to a certain type of data compression.
Functions i-modul Modem 144/56k Automatic Dial-Up Delay The standard TBR21 applies to all public phone networks in EC countries (Belgium, Denmark, German, Finland, France, Greece, Great Britain, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Austria, Portugal, Sweden, Spain), as well as in Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Iceland. According to the regulations of the TBR 21, a dial-up is blocked for 2 hours after 12 unsuccessful dial-up attempts.
i-modul Modem 144/56k Functions 6.8.2 Saving the Configuration If the configuration of the i-modul Modem 144/56k 3.0 basic has been adapted to the requirements of the user, it is possible to save the settings in user profile 0 or 1. Changes of the configuration get lost after a RESET or restart, if the have not been saved before.
