WHAT IS A MODEM? The term "modem" is an abbreviation of Modulator/ DEModulator. A modem changes the bit stream of the PC into analogue signals which then can also be transmitted via the telephone line (modulation). The modem on the other side reverses the conversion (demodulation). Simplified, a modem converts outgoing data into tone and tone incoming via the telephone line back into data. The built-in modem is able to receive data according to the ITU standard for V. 90 transmissions with up 56 Kbit/s. Since the power output of modems is restricted due to the regulations of some telecommunication providers, the possible maximum download speed can be restricted. The actual speed may be dependent on the online conditions and other factors. Data sent from the user to the server are transmitted with 31. 2 Kbit/s. Prerequisite for this high speed reception is an analogue telephone line compatible with the V. 90 standard and a corresponding compatible Internet provider or company-owned host computer. The modem is fitted with an RJ-11 interface, into which a standard telephone lead can be plugged. If your modem is a combo card please make sure that it is used only with the appropriate port. Use only with an analogue telephone line. The modem cannot withstand the voltage levels of digital telephone systems such PBX or lines such as ISDN or Broadband services. (see safety instructions on page 7).
