The Features

￿Global Approval – With an MT5634ZBA global product, you need just one modem for worldwide use. The MT5634ZBA has approvals in 40+ countries. This means one global product can ship virtually anywhere.

￿Voice – (With Voice Models) The voice feature supports voice mail and a full-duplex speakerphone. This allows you and the caller to speak and listen at the same time.

￿Remote Configuration – Whether you provide connectivity for a sales office just miles away or for multiple offices across the world, the MultiModemZBA lets you configure each remote modem from a central site. See Chapter 5 for a complete discussion.

￿Callback Security – Callback security protects your network from unauthorized access. It also helps control long-distance charges for remote offices and users requiring access to the central site LAN. When callback security is enabled, the remote callers enter a password, and then the central site’s modem calls back. See Chapter 6 for a complete discussion.

￿Modem-on-Hold – Modem-on-Hold works with your telephone company’s Call Waiting service to put a remote modem “on hold” while you answer a voice call. When you finish your conversation and hang up, the previous connection resumes, providing you have not exceeded the time limit. Among other things, this feature eliminates the problem of the modem disconnecting if someone calls you while Call Waiting is enabled.

￿2-WireLeased-Line Support – A leased line is a private, permanent, telephone connection between two points. Unlike normal dialup connections, a leased line is always active. The modems automatically connect when they are attached to the line and are turned on. Because a leased line is always active, one of the two modems on the line must be configured as the originate modem and the other as the answer modem. It does not matter which is which. In the event of an interruption, leased-line modems automatically reconnect when the data line or power is restored.
