G3 14.4Kbps Fax Send/Receive
Your modem supports the V.17 fax standard that will allow for fax speeds of up to 14400 bps when
transmitting to another V.17 fax machine. When connecting to an earlier G3 fax device, your modem
operates at speeds up to 9600.
Support Fax Class 1, Class 2 and Class 2.0 Command Set
The fax facilities as offered on the Omni 56K Smart modem provides full compatibility with the class 1, class
2 and class 2.0 command sets. This compatibility means that your fax modem is fully configurable with a
wider range of options that can be optimized if need be.
Data Compression and Error Correction
Data compression is utilized to reduce the number of bits actually sent and received. This saves on the actual
amount of data being sent and therefore increases the modem's speed (or throughput). Error correction
protocols are used so that the compressed data can be accurately decompressed on the receiving end.
Omni 56K Smart modem supports V.42bis and MNP5 data compression protocols as well as MNP4/V.42
error correction. MNP5 is used with MNP4 error control; V.42bis is used with V.42 error control. The
compression efficiency of V.42bis is generally higher than that of MNP5.
