TRANSMISSION

ECM (Error Correction Mode) and Page Retransmission (Type I Only)

ECM is a signaling system that greatly reduces the chance of data being lost because of a bad telephone line. ECM is useful if you frequently communicate over poor telephone lines. With ECM switched on, the communication cost will increase if the line is bad, but the data will be sent much more reliably.

If ECM is switched off, Page Retransmission will be used. The whole page will be resent (unless you used Immediate Transmission, in which case damaged data

is more efficient because it only resends the

damaged parts of the data, the maximum possible number of retransmission attempts is much higher, and it also works with Immediate Transmission. You can switch ECM on by following the procedure below.
