Switch #5
Enable/Disable Auto-Answer - "Ans"
(Asynchronous Mode/Synchronous Mode/Dial-Up)
In some originate-only applications, you may wish to disable the modem's automatic answering

voice calls that you yourself would answer instead of the modem. Place DIP-Switch #5 in the UP
position to enable Auto-Answer. Place DIP-Switch #5 in the DOWN position to disable Auto-Answer.

Maximum Throughput Setting
(Asynchronous Mode/Leased Line/Dial-Up)
Some applications require you to dial into services with maximum throughput on, and other
applications where maximum throughput must be off (i.e., service not supporting error correction, or
the V.42 handshake interferes with logon sequence). DIP-Switch #6 is used for switching between
these two modes. This DIP-Switch controls three important parameters (error correction, speed
conversion and serial port speed), which in effect enables or disables maximum throughput.

clock. The originate modem, in effect, adjusts to the answer (remote) modem. Place DIP-Switch #6 in
the DOWN position to enable Slave Clocking. Place DIP-Switch #6 in the UP position to disable
Slave Clocking.
