ISDN TA/V

IMPORTANT —

The type of flow control that you should use on a given

communications link is normally dictated by the requirements of the service
to which you are connecting, and whichever of the two methods your ISDN
TA/V is configured to use must also be configured into the operational
settings of your communication-software program.

10.1.5 L

INE

T

RANSMISSION

S

PEEDS

By default your ISDN TA/V will automatically negotiate the optimum
transmission speed according to the capabilities of the line. A particular line
speed to be used can however be specified as explained in

Section 16.1

.

10.1.6 V.110 R

ATE

A

DAPTION

Rate adaption is the technique which enables a synchronous or asynchronous
DTE line speed of below 64000 bps to be connected to the ISDN line, while
ensuring that line integrity is maintained. The V.110 standard of rate
adaption supported by this Terminal Adaptor is regarded as the common
standard among manufacturers of ISDN TA/Vs, thereby ensuring
interoperability when communicating with other manufacturer’s Terminal
Adaptors.

10.2 File Transfer Protocols

Files are passed between communicating devices in blocks of data using
transfer protocols such as XMODEM, YMODEM, ZMODEM, Kermit, etc.
These protocols determine the block length, type of error detection used and
whether or not filenames have to be stipulated or are automatically
transmitted with the data.

The protocol that will best suit your file-transfer requirements will depend on
the type of file, size of file, etc. However, as a guide, ZMODEM is generally
recognised as the best general purpose protocol. It is a multiple- file transfer
protocol and therefore most suitable for unattended operation.

In addition to using the above protocols, you can also send and receive
straightforward, unchecked, ASCII files.

The type of file transfer protocol to be used must be specified within your
communication software program’s setup. Refer to the software’s manual
for further details.
