Reference Guide for the Model XM128 ISDN Digital Modem
Although not defined in X.75, the XID frame is based on the encoding in ISO Standard 8885 and on being used in V.42/V.42bis. In addition to the compression parameters, XID can be used to negotiate such packet parameters as window or packet size.
Bundle Connection with V.42bis Data Compression
If both sites have set AT&K44 to enable V.42bis negotiation, XID frames can be exchanged through the main B channel, which corresponds to the call established by the first setup message.
Only one data compression channel can be used in bundle connection, which means that the compression is done before packet disassembly and the decompression is done after packet assembly. The compression ratio of V.42bis is commonly recognized as up to 4:1 for text files. If the line speed is 128 Kbps, the DTE speed may reach 460 Kbps. This circumstance makes the normal
