Owner's Manual

1.1 Introduction

Welcome to the world of data communications. You have acquired one of

the finest intelligent data, fax, answering machine and personal voice mail

capable modems available today, model MT5600ZDXV, from Multi-Tech

Systems. This Owner’s Manual will help you install, configure, test and use

your MT5600ZDXV modem.

1.2 Product Description

Your MT5600ZDXV incorporates both V.90 and K56flex modem

technologies,which allows Internet connections at data rates up to 56K bps

over standard telephone lines. The V.90 and K56flex technology is able to

propel data downstream from the Internet to your computer at speeds of up

to56Kbpsbecausedataisdigitallyencodedinsteadofmodulated. Upstream

transmission, mostly keystroke and mouse commands from your computer to

the central site, continue to flow at the conventional data rate of 33.6K bps.

Your MT5600ZDXV offers interactive automatic dialing, as well as command

mode option configuration. You may store four command line/telephone

numbers, of up to 40 characters each, in the modem’s nonvolatile memory.

The modem pulse or tone dials, and recognizes dial tones and busy signals

forreliable call-progressdetection. Themodem candetectAT&T callingcard

tones. ItisFCC-Registered for connectiontotelephonenetworks without any

Data Access Arrangements (DAA’s).

*Though this modem is capable of 56K bps download performance, line

impairments, public telephone infrastructure and other external technological

factors currently prevent maximum 56K bps connections.

The MT5600ZDXV is a desktop fax/modem for compatible Personal Comput-

ers that also provides support for answering machine and voice mail

capabilities. The MT5600ZDXV provides dial-up asynchronous communica-

tion capability with other personal computers, terminals, on-line computer

services or other types of computer systems. Connection to the phone line

and/or an attached telephone device is made by RJ11 modular type

connectors; the PC connection is made via an RS232C/V.24 serial cable

receptacle, and low voltage DC power is supplied to the MT5600ZDXV

through a modular power supply connection included with the modem. All

of these connections are made at the back of the MT5600ZDXV.

The “SPKR or LINE OUT”and “MIC IN”jacks are both located on the side of

Model MT5600ZDXV

the MT5600ZDXV. Hardware installation procedures are described in

Chapter 2.

General features include:

4Compliance with major ITU-T, TIA, and EIA international standards to

ensure compatibility with other modems.

4Distinguishes data, fax, or voice calls using DTMF and tone detection with

software packages supporting these features.

4Caller ID to identify your caller’s phone number (available on U.S.

products).

Data

4SupportstheV.90andK56flexTM standardsfordatatransmissionatspeeds

up to 56Kbps, while maintaining compatibility with lower-speed modems.

Note: the V.90 and K56flex standards transfer data asymmetrically - client

downloads at speeds up to 56K bps, client uploads at speeds up to 33.6K

bps.

4Supports the enhanced ITU-T V.34 standard, with data transmission

speeds to 33.6K bps, while also maintaining compatibility with lower-

speedmodems.

4Supports V.90 and K56flex speeds plus 33.6K, 31.2K, 28.8K, 26.4K, 24K,

21.6K, 19.2K, 16.8K, 14.4K, 12K, 9.6K, 7.2K, 4.8K, 2.4K, 1.2K, and 0-

300 bps.

4Automatic fallback to slower speeds in noisy line conditions, and fall-

forward to faster speeds as conditions improve.

4ITU V.42 LAP-M and MNP Class 3 and 4 error correction.

4ITU V.42bis (4-to-1) and MNP 5 (2-to-1) data compression.

4Automatic disabling of compression when transferring already-com-

pressedfiles.

4Autodial, redial, pulse (rotary) and touch-tone dial.

4Dial tone and busy signal detection for reliable call-progress detection.

4Compatibility with the standard AT command set used by most commu-

nication programs.

4MNP10andMNP10ECTM EnhancedCellularPerformance(errorcorrection).

4H.324 compliant (videophone ready).

4Distinctive ring support to route voice, data, or fax calls on a single phone

line.

4Plug and Play (

PnP

) serial support.

4FlashROMupgradable.

Owner's Manual

Fax

4Supports V.17, Class 1/Group 3 fax communication standards, allowing

it to communicate with other fax modems as well as with fax machines.

4Sends and receives faxes from your computer at 14,400 bps, 9600 bps,

7200 bps, 4800 bps, 2400 bps, or 300 bps.

Voice

4Full-duplex speakerphone support with adjustable speaker volume con-

trol. Can record and play back answering machine messages using

optional microphone and speaker.

4Remote/local telephone answering machine (TAM) capabilities include

voice mail control, record/playback, and call screening.

4Supports AT#V voice commands.

1.3 Software Considerations

You will need data communications (datacomm), fax communications

software and an appropriate application software package to access the

Personal Voice-Mail features of the MT5600ZDXV. You must have Microsoft

Windows 3.1 or later to run these programs. With the appropriate application

software you can use your MT5600ZDXV to:

•speed dial

•mute a phone call

•place a call on hold

•forward or transfer a call

•three-way or conference call

•fax from any Windows’application

•record telephone conversations
