MT5634ZBA-USB User Guide
Introduction
Welcome to the world of data communications. You have acquired one of the finest
intelligent data and fax modems available today from one of America’s oldest and most
respected modem manufacturers: Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. This owner’s manual will help
you install, configure, test and use your modem.
Product Description
The MT5634ZBA-USB modem incorporates
V.90
technology, which enables Internet
connections at data rates up to 53K bps* over standard telephone lines. V.90 technology
is able to send data downstream from the Internet to your computer at these speeds
because data on the telephone network typically is converted from digital to analog only
once before it reaches your modem. Upstream transmissions, and transmissions
between client modems, are limited to data rates of 33.6K bps, as are downstream
transmissions that are converted more than once on the telephone network.
The MT5634ZBA-USB is Plug and Play-capable, with interactive automatic dialing and
command mode configuration. In standard mode, you can store up to four command
lines or telephone numbers of up to 40 characters each in the modems’ nonvolatile
memory. The modem pulse- or tone-dials, and recognizes dial tones and busy signals for
reliable call-progress detection. The modem can detect AT&T calling card tones. It also
has Caller ID, remote configuration and incorporates self-resetting lightning protection.
The MT5634ZBA-USB is FCC-registered for connection without notification to the
telephone company.
The MT5634ZBA-USB is a full-duplex intelligent modem with V.42 error correction,
V.42bis data compression, and V.17 (14,400 bps), Class 1 and 2, Group 3 fax
capabilities.
Universal Serial Bus (USB)
Universal Serial Bus (USB), defined by a consortium of industry leaders, permits
connection of multiple low-speed and medium speed computer peripheral devices such
as telephones, modems, printers, keyboards, mice, and scanners; all from a single
personal computer port. The specification, based on an open architecture is quickly
becoming a standard feature in new desktop and notebook computers.
* Although K56flex technology is capable of downloads of up to 56K bps, FCC
regulations currently restrict ISP modems to downloads of 53K bps.
