Chapter 1
Introduction
The Modem 3600 provides synchronous, asynchronous, and fax
capabilities for data communications or facsimile links between a local
computer and a remote computer, fax, or data terminal equipment (DTE)
located anywhere a standard or cellular telephone can reach. Data can be
transmitted over standard dial-up lines, private leased telephone lines, or
wireless communication.
The Modem 3600 communicates at standard data rates up to 33,600 bps
with compatible modems connected to similarly equipped computers,
computer services, and data bases. Advanced error control and data
compression ensure data integrity and increase data throughput.
When used with a Class 1 Fax software package, the modem can exchange
fax documents at data rates up to 14,400 bps with any Group 3 fax
machine or PC with a fax modem.
A high-level security feature allows secure operation of the modem, both
locally and remotely.
Shelf-Mount Units
This User’s Guide supports the desktop and shelf-mount versions of the
Modem 3600. Operation and function are generally the same for both, but
when there is a difference, the information primarily supports the desktop
unit. Installation for each version is described in Chapter 2.
