Select the Serial Line Speed.

This is the maximum speed the modem will attempt to use. For dial-up modems, 56000 bps
would be a typical setting.
— For dial-up, "Standard Modem" should work in most cases. Otherwise, select your modem
from the list.
— If your modem is not on the list, select "User Defined" and enter the Modem Properties.
If you are using the "User Defined" selection and configuring your own modem stings, fill
in the Modem Properties settings.
Note: You can validate modem string settings by first connecting the modem directly to a
PC, establishing a connection to your ISP, and then copying the modem string settings
from the PC configuration and pasting them into the FVS338 modem configuration fields.
For more information on this procedure, please refer to the support area of the NETGEAR
web site.
Click Apply to save your settings.
