Section One - Introduction Congratulations on purchasing your 56k V.90 modem, the latest in communication technology. Your modem represents a new generation of PC communication peripheral devices, combining high-speed Data and Fax functions into a single device. It supports V.90 and K56flex technology for 56kbits/s data transfer rates. This high performance modem connects your computer to all popular modems and fax machines in use today. The modem uses the Lucent chipset and standard Lucent LT Winmodem software drivers for the highest level of compatibility. 1.1 How Does V.90 Work V.90 technology allows users to receive data from their Internet Service Provider (ISP) at data rates up to 56kbps. To make use of this capability, your ISP must support either the V.90 or the K56flex standard. 1.2 Benefits of V.90 56k Communications For serious Internet users the increase in speed is dramatic, because the information that usually makes you wait - graphicsheavy Web pages, sound, video, and other large files - now downloads to your computer twice as fast as with previous speed standards. Upstream transmissions (mostly keystroke and mouse commands from your computer, which require less bandwidth) continue to flow quickly at the conventional rate of 33.6Kbps.
