FAX MODEM
A fax modem in PC can send data to a standard fax machine, which converts data into hard copy form. Incoming faxes received as image files are saved to the PCs hard disk. Fax modems provide certain advantages over stand alone fax machines.

ISDN MODEM
ISDN is an abbreviation for Integrated Services Digital Network. There is no such thing as a noisy or fuzzy line. Always runs at 64kbps. Call Setup is very fast (dialing, handshake and authentication), usually under 2 seconds (compared with 15 seconds at least for most analog modems). Ability to get 2 calls at the same phone number (one line is for voice, and the other line for your internet connection).

DSL MODEM
DSL Modems: DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) service is usually offered through the phone the company/ISP. You can leave your Internet connection open and still use the phone line for voice calls. The speed is much higher than a regular modem (up to 1.5 Mbps ). DSL doesn't necessarily require new wiring; it can use the phone line you already have

Modem Speeds
Modem speed partly determined by transmission standard in use Usually measured in bits per second (bps) Baud rate is an older measurement of number of times a signal changes in one second One signal equals one bit Most common today is 56.6 Kbps Use Control Panel to determine modem rating

Modem Standards

Data Compression
Firmware housed on the modem can perform error correction and compression
When data compression is performed on the modem, it applies to all data transmitted
Error Correction
Several transmission standards include error correction Modem may support more than one method Method is selected during handshake Error correction breaks data into small packets, frames Sending modem performs calculation on the frame and sums into a checksum
23
Receiving modem
Performs same calculation Confirms answer against attached checksum

Modem Features
Caller ID and call waiting Display readout Fax capabilities Flash ROM Plug and Play for Windows Auto answer Expansion slot or port type

Testing a Modem
Use HyperTerminal by following onscreen instructions

35
The modem says there is no dial tone, even though you can hear it
Check phone lines Check if other equipment if present, i.e. fax machine Try ATO command Straighten phone lines Modem may be damaged by lightening Test with known-good modem
36
The modem dials and then says that the other end is busy, even when you know that it is not
International calls, try ATXO command first
37
The sending modem and the receiving modem take a very long time to negotiate the connection
Noisy phone line Remove extra equipment Turn off data compression and try again Turn off error correction and try again Force slower speed
38
The modem drops the connection and gives the NO CARRIER message
Check other extensions on phone line Disable call waiting Remove extra equipment on line, straighten lines Check modem setting; confirm Error control required to connect is not checked Try reducing speed
40
Slow down the port speed Slow down the modem speed Try different modulation type
