1.1 Features
These Fax/Data/TAM Modems combine the features of a 56000(receive
only)/33600/28800/14400/9600 bps data modem and a 14400/9600 bps FAX modem. Your
new Fax/Data/TAM Modem gives your personal computer the ability to send and receive FAX
messages over the telephone line like a standard FAX machine. Your Fax/Data/TAM Modem
also allows your PC to communicate with other personal computers, terminals or BBS's
(Bulletin Board Systems) through the data modem functions.
When used as a data modem your Fax/Data/TAM Modem uses the standard AT command set
and is fully compatible with ITU-T V.42, V.42bis, V.34, V.32bis, V.32, V.22bis, V.23, V.22,
V.21, MNP 2-5, Bell 103, 212A and V.90. When used as a Fax/Data/TAM Modem it
communicates with all ITU-T Group 3 FAX machines and is compatible with ITU-T V.27ter,
V.29 and V.17. Switching between DATA mode operation and FAX mode operation of your
Fax/Data/TAM Modem is done through its firmware, no hardware settings are required.
The communication software, which should be used, depends on the kind of machine that you
are going to communicate with. If you are going to call a FAX machine then you must use the
Fax software. If the machine that you are going to communicate with is a modem then you
must use a data modem communications software.
