OVERVIEW
By upgrading to x2 ™ or V.90, you can achieve data-
transmission speeds nearly twice as fast as standard V.34
modems. Want to take advantage of V.92 services from your
ISP? Well, we have a faxmodem for that, too.
These analog, 56-kbps (*) data faxmodems are available
in both standalone and internal PCI card versions for PCs.
We also offer a V.90-only ISA card version.
As always, if you don’t see what you’re looking for, call

U.S. Robotics 56K V.92 External Data Faxmodem
(USR5686E)
V.90 and V.92 upstream connections. That’s what you get
with the U.S. Robotics 56K V.92 External Data Faxmodem. This
comprehensive support of new and previous standards means
you get a wider choice of service providers and reduces your
time to connect to and access a phone company’s call
management services.
Whether it’s shopping on-line, accessing highly detailed
documents, or processing bandwidth-intensive multimedia
presentations, you need a modem that‘s equipped to handle
them all. For the richest sounds and most vivid graphics, the U.S.
Robotics 56K V.92 External Data Faxmodem helps you establish
the fastest possible connection on your analog phone line.
Backward compatible, the faxmodem adjusts to the highest
possible speed when it connects to a service provider. And
advanced line probing technology finds the most efficient path
for your connection. The modem not only offers fast down-
loads, but the V.92 standard brings three key enhancements
to 56K technology(**):
Modem on Hold makes the most of your phone company‘s
Call Waiting, Caller ID, and Voice Mail services. The modem’s
software alerts you to incoming calls while you’re on-line and
provides you with the caller’s identity. If you take the call, the
modem ”suspends” your on-line session and lets you resume
the session when you’re through—all without any redialing
required. If you don‘t want to take the call, it’s automatically
routed to your voice mail.
Quick Connect reduces the time it takes to make a connec-
tion to your service provider. It does this by ”remembering”
the line conditions from the previous connection and bypassing
portions of its training sequence, so you get on-line faster.
V.PCM Upstream enables the V.92 faxmodem’s upstream
communication to reach speeds up to 48 kbps. But the decision
is yours. You can maintain the fastest possible downstream
speed (up to 53 kbps), or you can ”balance” your connection for
a bit slower downstream and faster upstream communication.
Easy to install and use, the 56K V.92 External Data Fax-
modem comes with CD-ROM-based installation software, which
makes installation a snap and enables you to get the most from
your modem and the Internet. Installing the drivers is a simple
matter of inserting the Installation CD into your CD-ROM drive
and following the instructions for your specific operating
system. This same CD also contains the ControlCenter software
for configuring your modem settings.
*NOTE: These faxmodems are capable of receiving downloads at
up to 56 kbps and sending at up to 31.2 kbps. Actual download
speeds you experience may be lower due to varying line
conditions. Although these modems are capable of 56-kbps
downloads, FCC regulations limit download speed to 53 kbps.
The modems require compatible analog phone line and server
equipment.
(**) NOTE: V.92 enhancements may not immediately be available
from all ISPs. Contact your ISP to find out when its servers will be
updated to support V.92 technology. The U.S. Robotics
® 56K V.92
External Faxmodem is backward compatible and will negotiate
the highest possible speed when connecting to an ISP. In addition,
Call Waiting service from your phone company is required for
using Internet Call Notification. Caller ID service from your phone
company is required for using the Caller ID feature of Internet
Call Notification.
