Modems in Series 7<br />

Modems <strong>for</strong> switched lines<br />

The modem <strong>for</strong> 4800bit/s is a combination<br />

modem intended <strong>for</strong> both leased<br />

and switched lines. Parameters, such as<br />

transmit level and receive level ranges,<br />

can be preset separately <strong>for</strong> the two applications.<br />

If a fault should occur on the<br />

leased line, the modem can easily be<br />

switched <strong>for</strong> operation over an alternative<br />

line through the public switched<br />

network. There is a switch on the<br />

modem front panel <strong>for</strong> this purpose.<br />

The duplex modem <strong>for</strong> 2 400 bit/s has an<br />

alternative rate <strong>of</strong> 1200 bit/s. It can<br />

transmit data in two directions simultaneously<br />

over a two-wire circuit. The<br />

modem is equipped with automatic calling<br />

and answer. This modem is described<br />

in greater detail below.<br />

Modem <strong>for</strong> 2 400 bit's duplex<br />

transmission<br />

The modem is designed in accordance<br />

with CCITT Recommendation V.22bis,<br />

which means that it can send and receive<br />

data simultaneously over a twowire<br />

circuit. This is particularly important<br />

on switched lines, where with<br />

2 400 bit/s it has hitherto only been possible<br />

to transmit data in the half-duplex<br />

mode. Since the most common protocols<br />

are half-duplex the main advantage<br />

<strong>of</strong> a duplex modem will in practice<br />

be shorter turn-around times. The terminal<br />

and computer determine the turnaround<br />

time in this case.<br />

The duplex circuit is obtained by dividing<br />

the telephone channel into two frequency<br />

bands with a centre frequency <strong>of</strong><br />

1.2 kHz and 2.4 kHz respectively. When<br />

the circuit has been set up, the handshaking<br />

procedure, with which each<br />

data transmission starts, is arranged so<br />

that the calling modem sends data over<br />

the lower channel and the answering<br />

modem over the higher channel.<br />

The modem can interwork with modems<br />

<strong>for</strong> 1 200 bit/s in accordance with CCITT<br />

Recommendation V.22. In such cases<br />

the modem is automatically switched<br />

over to 1 200 bit/s by the handshaking<br />

procedure.<br />

Automatic calling and answer are two<br />

essential functions in a modem <strong>for</strong><br />

switched lines. The modem meets the<br />

new CCITT Recommendation V.25bis,<br />

which permits a call to be set up from a<br />

terminal and controlled via the normal<br />

terminal interface. The control wires can<br />

be operated in a different way from normal<br />

data transmission in order to allow<br />

the wires <strong>for</strong> the transmit and receive<br />

data to transmit commands and telephone<br />

numbers between the terminal<br />

and the modem.<br />
