Attaining Speeds Above 28.8 Kbps
V.34 connections at 21.6, 24, and 26.4 Kbps are common. To get
connections of 28.8, 31.2, and 33.6 Kbps, line quality must be pristine
end-to-end. In addition, 31.2 and 33.6 Kbps connection rates are
possible only when the device to which you are connecting also runs
software that supports speeds above 28.8 Kbps.
Attaining 56 K Connections
When a client x2 modem connects to a server x2 modem, the path
through the telephone network between the modems is subject to the
following conditions for an x2 connection to be made.
A digital connection at one end.
ISPs or other online services must
have a digital connection to the public switched telephone network
(PSTN). Most major online services have a digital connection to the PSTN.
Only one digital-to-analog conversion.
There can be only one
digital-to-analog conversion in the telephone network between the x2
server modem and the x2 client modem.
Controlling the V.8 Call Indicate Tone
The V.8 protocol speeds call negotiation and specifies a call indicate tone.
Providing the call indicate tone is optional. For compatibility, we ship the
Business Modem with the call indicate tone disabled.
