Unix UUCP Spoofing
(Asynchronous Mode/Leased Line/Dial-Up)
The Series II Modem can be configured for use with Unix equipment
which employs ACK flow control to monitor data integrity. The Modem
can do "UUCP spoofing", where the modem is able to generate ACKs at
the DTE interface. Data then is transmitted more time-efficiently,
because the delay of waiting for data to be received then waiting for the
ACK to be returned at the remote end, is eliminated. Placing DIP-
Switch #4 in the DOWN position enables UUCP spoofing.
UUCP Spoofing Enabled = Switch #4 DOWN
UUCP Spoofing Disabled = Switch #4 UP
Factory Default Setting = UP
Switch #5
Enable/Disable Auto-Answer - "Ans"
(Asynchronous Mode/Synchronous Mode/Dial-Up)
In some originate-only applications, you may wish to disable the Series
II Modem's automatic answering capabilities. This may be true if you
have a telephone set attached to a modem and wish to receive voice
calls that you yourself would answer instead of the modem. Place DIP-
Switch #5 in the UP position to enable Auto-Answer. Place DIP-Switch
#5 in the DOWN position to disable Auto-Answer.
Auto-Answer Enabled = Switch #5 UP
Auto-Answer Disabled = Switch #5 DOWN
Factory Default Setting = UP
Switch #5
Originate/Answer Mode
(Asynchronous/Synchronous Mode/Leased Line)
The Series II Modem functions in either Originate mode or Answer
mode. Place DIP-Switch #5 in the DOWN position to enable Originate
mode. Place DIP-Switch #5 in the UP position to enable Answer mode.
