Product Description And Features - Multitech MultiModem MT5600ZDX User Manual

Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the MultiModemZDX or the
MultiModemZDXV modem. You have acquired one of the finest intelligent data/fax
or voice/data/fax modems available today from one of the world's oldest modem
manufacturers: Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. This manual will help you install,
configure, test, and use your modem.
Product Description
The MultiModemZDX and MultiModemZDXV modems incorporate the K56flex
and V.90 protocols, both of which enable Internet connections at data rates up to 56K
bps over standard phone lines. These protocols are able to send data downstream to
your computer at high speeds by taking advantage of the fact that data on the phone
network normally is converted from digital to analog only once before it reaches your
modem. Upstream transmissions and transmissions between client modems have a
maximum data rate of 33.6K bps. Line conditions may cause modems to connect at
speeds lower than the stated data rate maximums.
The MultiModemZDX and MultiModemZDXV modems offer interactive automatic
dialing and command mode configuration. You can store four command lines or
phone numbers of up to 31 characters each in the modem's nonvolatile memory. The
modem pulse-dials or tone-dials, and recognizes dial tones and busy signals for
reliable call-progress detection. It can also detect AT&T calling card tones. It is FCC-
registered for connection to phone networks without notification to the phone
company.
