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 />
