Clock Options

Synchronous data must be transmitted and received with a common timing clock. This timing clock is used to transmit data from the DTE to the modem which modulates the data according to this clock. The receiving modem recovers the clock and data from the carrier and sends the data to the receiving DTE along with the clock. There are three types of transmission synchronous clock sources to choose from:

1.The internal clock is the one that suits most applications and is the default; in this case, the clock signal is generated by the local modem.

2.The slave clock is that the clock signal is generated by recieved data .

3.The external clock is that the clock signal provided by the DTE.

INTERNAL

AT&X0

The modem provides the clock and

 

 

sends it to the DTE. Adaptive rate can

 

 

be used. (Default)

EXTERNAL

AT&X1

The DTE provides the clock and sends

 

 

it to the modem. Must use auto-retrain,

U-336S, U-336SA specifications

ZyXEL Communications, a leading global provider of networking and cybersecurity solutions, has offered a range of products designed to cater to various connectivity needs. Among these, the U-336SA and U-336S modems stand out for their reliability and performance, particularly in the dial-up category during the heyday of internet access.

The U-336SA and U-336S modems are external devices that revolutionized the way users connected to the internet in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Designed for both home users and small businesses, these modems supported 33.6 Kbps data transfer rates, which, at the time, were considered cutting-edge. This capability allowed for reasonably swift internet browsing, email communication, and file downloads compared to earlier modems.

One notable feature of both the U-336SA and U-336S models is their plug-and-play functionality. This ease of use made them accessible to even the less tech-savvy users, allowing quick and straightforward installation. Users could connect the modems to their PCs or laptops via a standard serial interface, minimizing setup time and complexity.

Additionally, both modems were equipped with error correction and data compression technologies. The V.42 and V.42bis protocols enhanced data integrity during transmission, ensuring that users experienced fewer disruptions and greater reliability in their connecting experience. This was particularly vital for tasks like file transfers and large downloads, where data integrity was paramount.

The modems also featured compatibility with various operating systems, including early versions of Windows, which expanded their appeal to a broader audience. The U-336SA was specifically engineered as a standalone device, while the U-336S could often be used with existing computer systems, showcasing versatility in various deployment scenarios.

In terms of design, both modems were compact and lightweight, allowing for easy portability. This made them suitable for users who required connectivity on the go or in different locations.

Ultimately, the ZyXEL U-336SA and U-336S modems represent a significant technological achievement in the history of internet connectivity. Their introduction set the stage for subsequent advancements in modem technology and played a crucial role in the evolution towards broadband and high-speed internet access that we enjoy today. Their legacy endures in the foundational technologies and protocols that continue to drive modern telecommunications.
