V.90/V.92 PCI Data/Fax

Internal V.90/V.92 PCI

Data/Fax Modem

SMART Modular Technologies PCI Host-Accelerated Modem offers the latest in flexibility and compatibility in a standard form factor modem. Its high level of integration offers a low-cost, high-performance, low-power, full-featured modem

utilizing a PC host CPU for the ultimate Windows 95, 98, 98SE, ME, XP, or Windows NT 4.0 solution. The modem is designed to take advantage of the Agere (formerly Lucent Technologies) Mars 3 chipset’s integrated PCI interface which allows it to have efficient access to host PC system resources. In conjunction with the host PC, it implements V.90/V.92 technology, which allows PC users to achieve Internet connection rates approaching 56 kbits/s with backward compatibility to existing V.34 modems. It also supports video-ready interface, high-speed data modes (V.34 extended rates and fallbacks), and Class 1 FAX capabilities.

The SMART internal modem provides the optimal parallel interface because it connects directly with the host PC’s PCI bus. This eliminates the 16550 UART bottleneck. This chip set offers an on-chip PCI interface that supports both slave and master operation. The DSP hardware performs MIPS-intensive operations, such as V.92, V.34, and V.32 modulation, while the host performs other less MIPS-intensive functions, such as V.42bis. A host-based controller modem has the benefit of utilizing more powerful CPUs as they become available, as well as access to the system’s RAM and disk space. Users can therefore be updated in the field, as code simply resides on the disk. Even with its superior performance, SMART’s internal modem CPU usage is virtually the same as that of a conventional modem.
