V-series Smartmodem 9600 Mon 09-16-1991 ------------------------- V-series Smartmodem 9600 Hayes V-series Smartmodem 9600 is a cost effective solution for high speed communications. The modem provides advanced error-control and data compression features that increase the speed and reliability of telecommunications across dial-up lines. Offering ten times the speed of 2400 bps, V-series Smartmodem 9600 supports Express 96 (formerly known as Hayes fast turnaround "Ping Pong" protocol) to provide data throughput of 20 - 25 Kbps (depending on the file) when the PC port speed is set to 38.4 Kbps. V-series Smartmodem 9600 provides the advanced features of ULTRA 96, but supports Express 96, a Hayes proprietary modulation that simulates full-duplex 9600 bps operation, instead of CCITT V.32. The modem provides unique high performance features that are not found as a complete offering in any other product. These unique features include Hayes AutoSync, Express 96, CCITT X.32 (Dial X.25) with Hayes AutoStream, MI/MIC, and backward compatibility with MNP( 2-5, Hayes Adaptive Data Compression, and LAPB to provide a migration path to CCITT V.42 and V.42bis. MODULATION International Data Transmission Standards - Supports CCITT V.22bis (2400 bps) and CCITT V.22 (1200 bps) transmissions. Industry Data Transmission Compatibility - Supports communication with 103 (300 bps) and 212A (1200 bps) modems. Express 96 - A Hayes proprietary modulation that simulates full-duplex 9600 bps operation when communicating at 9600 bps to other V-series Smartmodem 9600 or ULTRA 96 modems. ERROR-CONTROL CCITT V.42 - Provides standardized, point-to-point error-control communications using the CCITT V.42 LAPM (Link Access Procedure for Modems) protocol. CCITT V.42's alternative protocol provides backward compatibility with modems using MNP 2-4. V-series LAPB - The original error-control protocol used in the V-series Smartmodem 9600 was based on CCITT X.32 (Dial X.25) specifications. All V-series Smartmodem 9600s support LAPB which provides link-level error-control in compliance with global standards. DATA COMPRESSION CCITT V.42bis - CCITT V.42bis international data compression standard provides compression capabilities up to 4:1, enabling V-series Smartmodem 9600 to achieve throughput up to 20 - 25 Kbps. Hayes Adaptive Data Compression (ADC) - V-series Smartmodem 9600 implements ADC to provide compatibility with the installed base of original V-series system products to attain compression capabilities up to 2:1 for throughput up to 19.2 Kbps. Original V-series system products support this compression. MNP 5 - Supports backward compatibility with modems using MNP 5 for up to 2:1 compression. TELEPHONE LINE INTERFACE Dial-up Line - Supports pulse or tone generated dial out or auto answer for Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). PABX and Business Line Support - V-series Smartmodem 9600 operates in a variety of PABX environments and has selectable features for operation in business environments. PACKET SWITCHED NETWORK CONNECTIVITY CCITT X.32 Standard - Supports X.32 (Dial X.25) standard for dial-up compatibility with Packet Switched Networks worldwide. Error-Control - Supports either point-to-point or point-to-multipoint communications using X.25 Packet Switched Networks. Triple X PAD - V-series Smartmodem 9600 provides a Triple-X PAD (Packet Assembler/Disassembler) in the modem by implementing 1988 versions of CCITT X.3, X.28, and X.29. Hayes AutoStream - Supports up to four simultaneous virtual sessions using the Hayes AutoStream protocol to support and manage the sessions. Smartcom III( Communications Software - With Smartcom III communications software, users are not required to learn PAD commands. The program allows easy set up as well as stored configuration for calling up CCITT X.32 (Dial X.25) networks. MODEM CONTROL AND OPERATION Hayes Standard AT Command Set - Full support for this industry standard enables V-series Smartmodem 9600 to operate with the large installed worldwide base of communications software. Hayes Escape Sequence with Guard Time - Allows the modem to reliably escape from the on-line mode of operation (receiving/transmitting data) to the command mode (interpreting the Hayes Standard AT Command Set) without being accidentally triggered by transmitted data. U.S. Patent 4,549,302 was granted to Hayes on October 22, 1985. Automatic Feature Negotiation - V-series Smartmodem 9600 automatically negotiates with other modems to analyze all features available (modulation, error-control, data compression, etc.) to establish the most efficient communications session. This powerful capability is implemented transparently, making V-series Smartmodem 9600 exceptionally easy to use even though its feature set offers a wide range of capabilities and communications options. Automatic Speed Buffering - Allows V-series Smartmodem 9600 to provide a fixed speed interface between the V-series product and its DTE (mainframe, mini-computer, or PC). This enables the V-series Smartmodem 9600 to communicate at varying speeds with other modems while communicating at a fixed interface speed if required by its attached DTE. Flow Control - Works with systems equipped with flow control to manage the interface between the modem and the system to control buffers and preserve data integrity, preventing inadvertent data loss between the modem and the system. MI/MIC - Allows a system such as a PABX or a call back security system to instruct the modem to go off hook and establish a call. TRANSMISSION MODES Asynchronous Hardware Mode - Supports standard asynchronous communications for dial-up communications with value added networks, on-line services, and personal computers. Synchronous Hardware Mode - The modem supports SDLC, HDLC and Bisync synchronous transmission for connections to mainframes and mini-computers. A PC using a synchronous adapter card is also supported. Hayes AutoSync - V-series Smartmodem 9600 can use the system's standard asynchronous communications port for synchronous communications, eliminating the additional expense of a synchronous adapter card for SDLC or Bisync. This convenient feature brings both asynchronous and synchronous data transfer capability to your system in one communications device.
