4.2 Tips on Configuring the Communication Software
This modem uses the most up-to-date industry and commercially popular
standards to ensure functional compatibility with most communication
software. During initial setup of the communication software, it will normally
prompt you to define the type of fax/modem that you are currently using. The
following list guides you on how to select the proper device type.
The device type only defines the protocol by which your software
will communicate with your fax/modem and does not set nor limit
the speed.
1. For the Baud rate, choose any speed between 38,400 to 115,200. Your
fax/modem will automatically adjust to the optimum transmission speed
after successfully connecting with a remote fax/modem.
2. There are three flow controls: None, Hardware (CTS/RTS), and Software
(XON/XOFF). Set your software to use either Hardware or Software flow
control. If “None” is selected, the communication software will not be able to
detect a buffer overflow and result in transmission errors.
3. For fax device type, choose TR29 Class 1.
4. For fax speed, choose automatic or fastest speed. Your fax/modem will
automatically adjust to the optimum transmission speed after successfully
connecting with a remote fax machine or another fax/modem.
5. Make sure that you have correctly set all the other parameters required by
the software to operate successfully.
6. Refer to your Communication software manual for details.
