1.3Modem Features

The MultiModem BA Series modem connections can be made on Public Switched Telephone Networks (PSTNs) and/or point-to-point 2-wire telephone type circuits.

Your modem offers interactive automatic dialing, as well as Command Mode option configuration. You may store up to ten command line/telephone numbers, of up to 60 characters each, in the modem’s nonvolatile memory. The modem pulse or tone dials, and recognizes dial tones and busy signals for reliable call-progress detection. The modem can detect AT&T calling card tones. It is FCC-Registered for connection to telephone networks without any Data Access Arrangements (DAA’s).

Your modem also features Callback Security to protect networks from unauthorized use, and to manage phone line costs. By using the modem’s phone number and password directory, a host site can, upon receipt of a call, callback to a remote site at a predetermined number.

Remote Configuration permits you to assist users at remote sites, saving you the time and trouble of site visits and preventing misinterpretation of configuration instructions.
