MNP and V.42

The internal modem has built-in protocols MNP

®

 (Microcom 

Networking Protocol) Class 4 and V.42 for error correction and 
MNP class 5 and V.42bis for data compression.

Error-correction overview

Telephone line noise, or electrical interference, can cause errors in 
data communication. Noise is especially a problem at high speeds 
of 14,400 bps or greater.

The MNP and V.42 protocols were developed to ensure reliable 
data communications despite the high probability of error 
generation from line noise. 

MNP error correction

MNP was developed by Microcom. MNP class 4 enables data 
correction of full-duplex communications and also provides 
asynchronous/synchronous conversion and data packet-size 
negotiation to increase throughput.
