MODEM GUIDE

6.1GENERAL

The CSMIM-T1 uses 24 high performance, error-correcting, V.34 internal modems. They are fully compatible with V.FC (V.Fast Class) modems and offer support for cellular operations.

Under optimum conditions, the modems reach a maximum serial-port speed of 115,200 bps. They support V.42bis data compression, and use Hayes Smartmodem AT and V.25bis command sets, with enhancements for maximum flexibility. The modems achieve error-free performance through the Microcom Networking Protocol (MNP) and V.42 error-correction protocol standards. They offer MNP Class 10 with Adverse Channel Enhancements (ACE). MNP 10 includes:

Multiple connection attempts during auto-reliable link negotiation

Negotiated speed upshifts

Aggressive adaptive packet assembly

Dynamic Transmit Level Adjustment
