MultiModemDSVD User Guide 3 Operation

Introduction

Like any modem, your MultiModemDSVD operates only under the control of a communication program, such as the one included with the modem. It also operates under other general-purpose data communication programs, such as Windows Ter- minal and HyperTerminal. For information on how to use the modem with the com- munication program of your choice, please refer to the program’s documentation.

Unlike other modems, with the MultiModemDSVD you can also simultaneously send voice and data over a single phone line or, using third-party white-board soft- ware, work on a document with someone at another location.

The MultiModemDSVD has ten LED indicators on the front panel that indicate sta- tus, configuration, and activity:

RD Receive Data. The RD LED flashes when the modem is receiving data from another modem. The state of the LED matches that of the RD circuit on pin 3 of the RS-232C/V.24 interface.

CD Carrier Detect. The CD LED lights when the modem detects a valid carrier signal from another modem. It is on when the modem is communicating with the other modem and off when the link is broken.

5656K Mode (56,000–28,000 bps). The 56 LED lights whenever the modem con- nects to an ISP server in K56flex or V.90 mode. The actual connection speed depends on server capabilities and line conditions.
