Chapter 2. V. 92 Modem Information 9
2
Important Information for
Owners of V.92 Modems
With V.92, as with the earlier V.90 standard, your connection
speed depends on your phone line and your Internet Service
Provider (ISP). To enhance compatibility, this modem automati-
cally detects whether to use V.92, V.90, or a slower mode when it
connects to your ISP.
Your V.92 modem includes the following capabilities.
•
QuickConnect:
A V.92 modem remembers the line conditions of the last
number called, and uses this information to try to reduce
connection times.
•
Modem-on-Hold:
You have the option of receiving voice calls while online. You
can answer the call and put your Internet session on hold if
your ISP supports this capability and you have Call Waiting
service compatible with the modem.
•
Faster Upload Speeds:
Upload speeds may be increased, from 33.6K bps to a
maximum of 48K bps. (Actual rates vary, depending on line
conditions.)
•
V.44 Data Compression:
The V.44 standard lets you browse the Web and transfer
data at higher speeds.
To make the most of your V.92 modem, follow these steps:

nection to the ISP.
