Introduction

Welcome to the world of data communications. You have acquired one of the finest intelligent data/fax modems available today, the MultiModem ZDX or ZDXV, from Multi-Tech Systems. This Owner’s Manual will help you install, configure, test and use your modem.

Product Description

Your modem incorporates new modem technologies called V.90 and K56flexTM, that enable Internet connections at data rates up to 56K bps over standard telephone lines. This 56K technology is able to propel data downstream from the Internet to your computer at speeds of up to 56K bps because data is digitally encoded instead of modulated. Upstream transmis- sion, mostly keystroke and mouse commands from your computer to the central site, continue to flow at the conventional data rate of 33.6K bps.

Your modem offers interactive automatic dialing, as well as command mode option configuration. You may store four command line/telephone numbers, of up to 40 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).

Although this modem is capable of 56K bps download performance, limitations caused by line impairments, public telephone infrastructure, and other external

technological factors currently prevent maximum 56K bps connections.

This is a desktop fax/modem for compatible IBM Personal Computers; and provides dial-up asynchronous communication capability with other personal computers, terminals, on-line computer services or other types of computer systems.

Connection to the phone line and/or an attached telephone device is made by RJ11 modular type connectors; the PC connection is made via an RS232C/V.24 serial cable receptacle; and low voltage DC power is supplied to the modem through a modular power supply connection shipped with it. All these connections are located on the rear of the modem. Hardware installation procedures are described in Chapter 2.
