Error Correction and Data Compression

AT%C

The two following tables provide an overview of the interdependencies

AT-J

between the 

AT%C

AT-J

 and 

AT\N

 commands which you use to configure

AT\N

your modem to error correction and data compression methods.

Example:

The default configuration for the modem is 

AT%C3

AT -J1

 and 

AT \N3

.  In

the upper table this configuration is described as case 

4

.  Column 

4

 of the

lower table shows the error correction and data compression methods
possible for this setting (connection with V.42bis, V.42, MNP5, MNP4 or
without protocol).
The arrows pointing down in the lower table denote a fallback if the
respective mode is not supported by the remote modem.
