Features
Increased Upload Speeds.
With the V.92 MultiModem ZBA business modem, you can achieve an upload speed of
48K bps (30% increase over V.90 modems). This higher upstream speed reduces data transfer time for large e ‐
mails with attachments and for ftp site uploads, as well as improves operation for interactive applications.
V.44 Compression.
V.44 compression enables data throughput rates of higher than 300K bps ‐ much faster than
V.42bis data compression rates of 150 ‐ 200K bps. For users, it means that your Web browsing will be much
faster.
Enhanced Fax Features.
The MultiModem ZBA business modem supports V.34 fax and Error Correction Mode
providing significant performance and reliability enhancements over previous fax standards. V.34 sends and
receives faxes at 33.6K, more than double the speed of the V.17/14.4K fax standard. Error Correction Mode adds
reliability while increasing performance of fax transmissions. Together these enhancements increase the
performance of the modem to levels previously only found in more expensive dedicated fax boards and
machines.
Remote Configuration.
Whether you provide connectivity for a sales office just miles away or for multiple office
across the world, the MultiModem ZBA lets you take care of the configuration from a central site.
Callback Security.
The MultiModem ZBA provides password protection and helps reduce long distance charges
for remote offices and users requiring access to the central site LAN. This modem supports 30 passwords and
three configuration options. With the "fixed" callback option, the central site modem stores a password and the
remote user's phone number. Once the remote site enters their password, the central site's modem calls back
using the number stored in its database. The "variable" option lets users, such as road warriors, enter their fixed
password and a call back number each time they call. The "pass through" option is used to provide the security
of password protection, while bypassing the call back process.
Global Approvals.
With the globally approved MultiModem ZBA business modem, you need just one modem for
worldwide use. This model has approvals in many countries so you can ship one SKU (stock unit) virtually
anywhere in the world. Localization kits are available for country ‐ specific power cords, phone cords and telco
adapters. Go to www.multitech.com/globalmodem for details.
