Features
The MT2834ZDX automatically adjusts to line conditions and to the capabilities of the modem it connects to, resulting
in the highest transmission speed, the most accurate error correction, and the most efficient data compression
possible for each connection. The MT2834ZDX follows the ITU-T V.34 specification for data rates as high as 28,800
bps over public telephone lines, while the MT2834ZDXb follows the most recent revision of the V.34 specification for
data rates up to 33,600 bps. The MT2834ZDX’s features include:
· Support of data rates of 33,600 and 31,200 bps (ZDXb only), 28,800, 26,400, 24,000, 21,600, 19,200,
16,800, 14,400, 12,000, 9600, 7200, 4800, 2400, 1200, and 300 bps for communicating with older modems
as well as with other V.34 modems.
· Automatic fallback to slower speeds in noisy line conditions and fall-forward to faster speeds as conditions
improve.
· ITU-T V.42 LAP-M and MNP Classes 2–4 error correction.
· Data transfer rates up to 115,200 bps with V.42bis data compression.
· Serial port data rates adjustable to 115,200 bps.
· Autodial, redial, pulse (rotary) and touch-tone dial.
· Dial tone and busy signal detection for reliable call progress reporting.
· Compatibility with the standard AT command set used by most communication programs.
· Nonvolatile memory for storage of custom settings and two telephone numbers.
· Sends and receives faxes from your computer at 14,400, 9600, 4800, and 2400 bps.
