Important Information about V.92 Modems
If you have a V.92 Modem
With V.92, as with the earlier V.90 standard, your connection speed
depends on your phone line and your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
To enhance compatibility, the V.92 modem automatically detects
whether to use V.92, V.90, or a slower mode when it connects to
your ISP.
Your V.92 modem includes the following capabilities.
• QuickConnect:
A V.92 modem remembers the line conditions of the last number
called, and uses this information to try to reduce connection
times.
• Modem-on-Hold:
You have the option of receiving voice calls while online. You can
answer the call and put your Internet session on hold if your ISP
supports this capability and you have Call Waiting service com-
patible with the modem. See page 8 for more details about Mo-
dem-on-Hold.
• Faster Upload Speeds:
Upload speeds may be increased, from 33.6K bps to a maximum
of 48K bps. (Actual rates vary, depending on line
conditions.)
• V.44 Data Compression:
The V.44 standard lets you browse the Web and transfer data at
higher speeds.
To make the most of your V.92 modem, follow these steps:
1. Contact your ISP and get the phone number of a V.92 connec-
tion to the ISP.
2. Check the modem's Web site for news of any V.92 updates. If an
update is available, follow the directions below for upgrading your
modem.
