Notice for IBM 10/100 Ethernet Mini PCI Adapter with 56K Modem (by 3COM) users
In addition to satisfactory line conditions a modem can only work properly if:
1. it is compatible with the modem at the other end of the call and,
2. the application using the modem is compatible with the application at the other end of the call e.g.
accessing the Internet requires suitable software in addition to a modem. This equipment should not
be used in a manner which could constitute a nuisance to other Telecom customers. Some parame-
ters required for compliance with Telecom's PTC Specifications are dependent on the equipment
(PC) associated with this modem. The associated equipment shall be set up to operate within the
following limits for compliance with Telecom specifications:
a. There shall be no more than 10 call attempts to the same number within any 30 minute period
for a single manual call initiation
b. The equipment shall go back on-hook for a period of not less than 30 seconds between the end
of one call attempt and the beginning of the next.
c. Automatic calls to different numbers shall be not less than 5 seconds apart.
d. When used in the Auto-Answer mode, the S0 register must be set with a value between 2 and
5. This ensures:
1) A person calling your modem will hear a short burst of ringing before the modem answers.
This confirms that the call has been successfully switched through the network.
2) Caller identification information (which occurs between the first and second ring cadence) is
not destroyed.
This equipment does not meet Telecom's impedance requirements. Performance limitations may occur
when used in conjunction with some parts of the network. Telecom will accept no responsibility should
difficulties arise in such circumstances. The code for Call Waiting disable is *52 on the Telecom New
Zealand telephone network
