MultiModemZPX User Guide

Chapter 1 - Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the MultiModem®ZPX. You have acquired one of the finest internal

data/fax modems available today from one of the world’s oldest modem manufacturers: Multi-Tech

Systems, Inc. This User Guide will help you to install, configure, test, and use your modem.

One Modem, Worldwide Use. The MultiModemZPX is designed for global applications. This means one

modem can ship around the world. The global modem is ideal for businesses with global operations that

want to standardize on one modem and are looking to simplify the ordering process. Go to

www.multitech.com/ to see a complete list of all the countries for which this modem has approvals.

Product Description

The MultiModemZPX provides high-speed data transfer and fax capabilities for small businesses,

telecommuters, and SOHO users. Its supports the new ITU-T V.92 protocol which provides quick

connections, downstream transmissions at speeds up to 56K bps*, and upstream transmissions at

speeds up to 48K bps when connected to V.92-compatible Internet service providers. Transmissions

between the MultiModemZPX and other client modems are limited to 33.6K bps, as are upstream

transmissions to non-V.92-compatible ISPs and downstream transmissions that are converted more than

once on the telephone network.

Fax Communications: The MultiModemZPX also supports “Super G3” ITU-T V.34 fax communications

at speeds up to 33.6K bps with Class 2.1 fax commands.

Features: Modem features include remote configuration. In standard mode, you can store up to four

command lines or telephone numbers of up to 40 characters each in the modems’ nonvolatile memory.

Other modem capabilities include AT&T calling card tone detection, pulse and tone dialing, adaptive

answer, V.42 error correction, and V.42bis and V.44 data compression.

NOTE:

*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.
