Utilizing V.90 Technology

Utilizing V.90 
Technology

All V.90 modems are analog line devices. The following figure shows when you can 
and cannot achieve 56 Kbps. 

V.90 modems can 

receive

 data at rates up to 56 Kbps, provided the data is 

being transmitted by a digital modem on a digital (e.g., T1 or ISDN) line.

V.90 modems can 

send

 data over analog (twisted pair) phone lines at a 

maximum rate of 33.6 Kbps—even if communicating with other V.90 modems.

The actual data rate achieved depends on the age and condition of the analog 
phone lines, and may be lower than 33.6 Kbps.

Installing the RocketModem III

Use the following procedures to install a single RocketModem III.

European 
Installations: Before 
Hardware 
Installation

Before installing this board, ensure that the power drawn by this board, together 
with the host and any auxiliary boards drawing power from the host, is within the 
rating of the host power supply. Equipment must be installed such that, with the 
exception of connections to the host, the clearance and creepage distances shown 
in the following table are maintained between the board and other assemblies that 
use or generate the voltages shown in the table. The larger distances shown in 
(brackets) apply where the local environment within the host is subject to 
conductive pollution or dry non-conductive pollution which could become 
conductive due to condensation (Pollution Degree 3 environments). Failure to 
maintain these minimum distances would invalidate the approval.

Note:

Obtain advice from a telecommunications safety engineer for a host or other 
expansion boards fitted in the host using or generating voltages greater than 
300 V (rms or dc).
