commands.

V0

This command causes the result codes to issued in numeric

 

code(which may require for some software packages.) However, if

 

you want the result codes to appear in English text, you will have to

 

change the command to V1.

Xn

This command determines Result Code Type. For some values of n,

 

the modem will dial without dial tone or BUSY signal detection. The

 

modem may not report the connect data rate.

 

Solution: Change the command to X4.

Problems and solutions:

Problem:

Modem would not dial

Solution:

Check your phone line and cable connections. Make sure that

 

the line from the wall connected to the LINE jack of the

 

modem.

Problem:

No dial tone message

Solution:

Make sure no other phone extension has picked up on the

 

same line.

 

Make sure that the telephone line, coming from the wall

 

connected to the LINE jack and NOT to the PHONE jack on

 

your modem.

 

Check to make sure you are using a standard analog

 

telephone line and not a digital line.

Problem: Modem does not dial correctly

Solution A: Your phone system may require that you obtain an outside line before dialing. In this case, place the numeric prefix for the outside line (usually the number 9) before the phone number in your dialing string.

9 555 3333 To get out of the office

NOTE: Place a comma immediately after the number 9 in the dialing string to create a 2 second delay at that point in the dialing. This prevents the modem from dialing the phone number before the phone system has had time to connect to

V.90 specifications

The Jaton V.90 modem is a classic example of 56K technology that revolutionized dial-up internet connections in the late 1990s. As one of the early models supporting the V.90 standard, this modem enabled users to experience faster internet speeds compared to its predecessors. The V.90 protocol allowed for a maximum download speed of 56 Kbps, offering significant improvements over the previous V.34 modem, which capped out at 33.6 Kbps.

One of the standout features of the Jaton V.90 is its ability to adapt to different line conditions, ensuring optimal performance regardless of the quality of the telephone line. The V.90 standard provided a retransmission mechanism that allowed data to be resent if errors occurred during transmission, improving reliability and reducing the likelihood of dropped connections.

The modem incorporates technologies such as error correction and data compression. With built-in error correction protocols like V.42 and MNP, the Jaton V.90 can detect and correct common transmission errors, which is vital in maintaining a stable connection. The data compression technology, which uses MNP Class 5, enhances throughput by compressing data before transmission. As a result, users could effectively increase their upload speeds and minimize latency, creating a more seamless browsing experience.

The hardware features of the Jaton V.90 modem typically include a standard RJ-11 telephone connector, which makes it easy to connect to existing phone lines. The modem may come with both internal and external configurations, allowing flexibility depending on user preferences and system requirements. The external version often features indicator LEDs that provide real-time feedback on connection status, data transfer activity, and power status.

Compatibility is another crucial aspect of the Jaton V.90 modem. Operating with a variety of systems, it was designed to work with Windows, Mac OS, and other operating environments, making it accessible for a wide range of users. Additionally, the modem generally supports various software applications for easy configuration and management.

Ultimately, the Jaton V.90 modem played a pivotal role in facilitating internet access during a transformative period, laying the groundwork for future high-speed connections. While modern broadband solutions have since eclipsed dial-up speeds, the legacy of the Jaton V.90 as a reliable and innovative piece of technology remains significant in the history of internet connectivity.
