Auto Answer

When Auto Answer is disabled (the default), a RING message is delivered to the RS-232 port upon reception of an incoming data call to the 3C882 ISDN modem. Enter the command AT A to answer the incoming data call. A CONNECT message is then delivered to the RS-232 port upon successful connection.

If Auto Answer is enabled, the call is automatically answered after the number of rings you specify, and a CONNECT message, indicating the speed of the connection, is delivered to the RS-232 port.

Compression

Compression is a method of reducing the size of data without losing any information. The 3C882 ISDN modem automatically compresses data to improve data transfer times using the Stac compression method. The following check modes are negotiable— None, One Byte Sequence Number, and Extended. Extended is the preferred choice. The degree of compression depends on the type of file being transferred. For example, a text-only file compresses better than a file with graphics.

Compression is enabled (default) and will automatically be invoked unless you are running compression on your computer. If you are running compression on your computer, that compression method will be used instead of 3C882 compression even if 3C882 compression is enabled.

Baud Rate

By default, the baud rate is set using Autobaud. Autobaud automatically detects the maximum data rate of your computer’s COM port. Rates up to 115.2 Kbps can be detected automatically. 3Com recommends that you leave Autobaud enabled unless you want to set the baud rate to

230.4Kbps. The command AT $B (baud rate) is used to set a specific baud rate, such as 230.4 Kbps. Refer to Appendix B for a list of acceptable values.
