Section One - Introduction

Your modem represents a new generation of PC communication peripheral devices, combining high speed Data and Fax functions into a single device. It supports V.90 and K56flex technology for 56kbits/s data transfer rates. This high performance modem connects your computer to all popular modems and fax machines in use today.

How Does K56flex Work

V.90 technology allows users to receive data from their Internet Service Provider (ISP) at data rates up to 56kbps. To make use of this capability, your ISP must support either the V.90 or the K56flex standard. Your modem must connect to an ISP or corporate central site with a pure digital connection to the telephone network to realize speeds reaching 56kbps. 56kbps cannot be achieved in a connection between two end user modems because each uses an analog connection.

Benefits of 56K Communications

For serious Internet users the increase in speed is dramatic, because the information that usually makes you wait – graphics-heavy Web pages, sound, video, and other large files – now downloads to your computer twice as fast as before. Upstream transmissions (mostly keystroke and mouse commands from your computer, which require less bandwidth) continue to flow quickly at the conventional rate of 33.6Kbps.

Modem Features and Compatibility

Your modem is compatible with the following standards.

V.32 (9600 bps)

V.32bis (14400 bps)

V.22bis (2400 bps)

V.22 (1200 bps)
