necessary steps to complete the connection.
About V.90 Dual Mode
At Ositech, our strong commitment to customer satisfaction demands we provide the
most flexible 56K modem solution to our PC Card users. Ositech’s complete line of 56K PC
Card modems ship pre-configured to support both the ITU V.90 and Conexant K56Flex
standards. This provides you with many important benefits:
• No flash upgrade required—Many 56K modems require a flash upgrade to configure the
modem for V.90 connections. You do not have to flash upgrade your Ositech modem
since it shipped with both V.90 and K56Flex pre-loaded.
• High speed 56K connections are more likely to occur—Your Ositech modem is designed
to support both 56K standards; therefore, you have a much greater chance of taking
advantage of high speed 56K connections. If your ISP has not made the transition to
V.90, then your modem will make a K56Flex connection.
• Automatic V.90 or K56Flex negotiation—Your Ositech modem is able to automatically
detect what standard a host modem is using and configure itself.
• No need to toggle between V.90 and K56Flex—Early 56K modems offered a V.90
upgrade, but once the modem was upgraded to V.90, K56Flex support was lost. Some
manufacturers offer a piece of software to toggle between the 56K standards. Your
Ositech modem does not require this software because it ships with both 56K
standards pre-loaded and tested.
