Overview

The Model 3830 modem is a member of the COMSPHEREr

3800 Series Modem product line. The Model 3830 modem is a high-speed dial modem that offers reliable asynchronous and synchronous operation over dial- or two-wire leased-line networks. The Model 3830's software definability allows you to add enhancements and new features as they become available, with no further investment in hardware, no on-site personnel, and minimal downtime.

High-speed data transfer and reliable throughput at data rates as high as 19,200 bps (V.32terbo) over dial lines is guaranteed by employing the latest techniques in ITU-T V.42bis/MNP Class 5 data compression and ITU-T V.42/MNP error correction. In addition to fast line speeds, the modem can send data to the DTE at speeds as high as 115,200 bps.

The Model 3830 modem is extremely versatile when used in modem pooling environments; it allows multiple users to temporarily customize settings in the Model 3830, thereby permitting communication with the calling modem. Upon disconnection, the Model 3830 modem falls back to its original configuration settings and resumes normal operation.

The modem's compatibility with a number of dialing methods and protocols, such as asynchronous AT commands and ITU-T V.25bis dialing, permits the Model 3830 to be used in a variety of applications and environments while also allowing control over modem configuration, dialing, and diagnostics. The modem offers two preset factory configurations containing the most often used modem settings. These factory presets provide quick configuration for any asynchronous or UNIX hardware-based dial environment.
