Features
Increased Upload Speeds. With the V.92 MultiModem ZBA business modem, you can achieve an upload speed of 48K bps
(30% increase over V.90 modems). This higher upstream speed reduces data transfer time for large e-mails with attachments
and for ftp site uploads, as well as improves operation for interactive applications.
V.44 Compression. V.44 compression enables data throughput rates of higher than 300K bps - much faster than V.42bis data
compression rates of 150 - 200K bps. For users, it means that your Web browsing will be much faster.
Enhanced Fax Features. The MultiModem ZBA business modem supports V.34 fax and Error Correction Mode providing
significant performance and reliability enhancements over previous fax standards. V.34 sends and receives faxes at 33.6K,
more than double the speed of the V.17/14.4K fax standard. Error Correction Mode adds reliability while increasing
performance of fax transmissions. Together these enhancements increase the performance of the modem to levels previously
only found in more expensive dedicated fax boards and machines.
Remote Configuration. Whether you provide connectivity for a sales office just miles away or for multiple office across the
world, the MultiModem ZBA lets you take care of the configuration from a central site.
Callback Security. The MultiModem ZBA provides password protection and helps reduce long distance charges for remote
offices and users requiring access to the central site LAN. This modem supports 30 passwords and three configuration
options. With the "fixed" callback option, the central site modem stores a password and the remote user's phone number.
Once the remote site enters their password, the central site's modem calls back using the number stored in its database. The
"variable" option lets users, such as road warriors, enter their fixed password and a call back number each time they call. The
"pass through" option is used to provide the security of password protection, while bypassing the call back process.
Global Approvals. With the globally approved MultiModem ZBA business modem, you need just one modem for worldwide
use. This model has approvals in many countries so you can ship one SKU (stock unit) virtually anywhere in the world.
Localization kits are available for country-specific power cords, phone cords and telco adapters. Go to
