Introduction
Congratulations for purchasing the finest industrial-grade fast-poll rack-
mount modem available.
The Raymar-Telenetics MD9612FP (Flash Poll) modem is a 9600/4800/0-
1800 bps rack-mount modem designed for 4-wire, full-duplex or 2-wire,
half-duplex operation over a voice-band leased line. The modem is
designed utilizing the latest digital-signal processing (DSP) technology to
achieve high performance. The modem employs Raymar-Telenetics’
proprietary modulation and encoding scheme to achieve fast modem
training time. It is also backward compatible with Bell 202 modems.
The modem can be installed in an Myriad Rack (18 slots, 3U) from
Raymar-Telenetics. The modem occupies only one rack slot, eliminating
the hassle of equipment trays and power bricks required for “Stand Alone”
modems. The modem is powered from the modem rack.
The MD9612FP modem is ideally suited for multi-point communication
systems that require fast response time, short training time, and low
throughput delay. The modem is the most technologically advanced rack-
mount modem on the market.
This User’s Guide is designed to let you get your modem “up and running”
as quickly as possible. It contains all the information you need to install
and configure your modem. It also contains troubleshooting information
in the unlikely event you encounter a problem with your modem.

bps.
Easily accessible DIP switches for user configuration and option
selection.
