HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL

This manual contains operating instructions for Courier Dual

Standard V.34 and Courier V.34 modems.

These modems have many similar features except for the

signaling they use to connect with remote modems at high

speeds: V.32/V.32 terbo, HST, V.FC, or V.34. Courier HST Dual

Standard modems use any type of signaling, depending on the

type of remote modem. V.34 modems can connect at rates up to

28.8K bps.

How to Use This Manual iii

A NOTE ON COMMUNICATIONS SOFTWARE

If you're using a computer rather than a terminal, you need

communications software. Many brands are available, all of

which are based on the modem's AT command set.

Some users prefer their communications software to take

control of the modem, and are more comfortable with a

program that makes the modem almost transparent. Others

prefer a program that allows them to use the modem's AT

command set sometimes, and their software at other times,

depending on the task at hand. Review at least Chapter 4 so

that you have a basic understanding of the modem's require-

ments and operation.
