Description The Zoom/FaxModem 56K USB utilizes the capabilities of a computer's Universal Serial Bus for the fastest and most convenient modem hook-up yet! Using the included USB cable, just plug the Zoom/FaxModem 56K USB into your PC or Macintosh USB jack; you don't even have to shut down the computer. The new modem will then be installed automatically and you'll be ready for fast, reliable access to the Internet, local area networks (LANs) and other dial-up modems. Configuration is automatic and without the potential conflicts of an RS232 serial port or an internal modem. The Zoom/FaxModem 56K USB doesn't even need an external power supply. It gets its operating voltage from the USB port itself! The performance of the Zoom/FaxModem 56K USB is even better than conventional 56K modems. USB operates at speeds up to 12 Mbps, approximately 100 times the speed of a typical RS232 serial port. The modem is capable of receiving data from a compatible Internet Service Provider (ISP), online service, or corporate LAN over standard phone lines at speeds up to 56 Kbps. Outgoing data is transmitted at normal modem speeds of up to 33.6 Kbps. The Zoom/FaxModem 56K USB is Dualmode. This means it supports both the V.90 ITU Standard and K56flex, the commonly used pre-standard 56K technology. The modem automatically selects V.90, K56flex or 33.6 Kbps or slower speed to achieve the fastest compatible connection speed. The Zoom/FaxModem 56K USB features a reprogrammable Digital Signal Processor (DSP) and flash memory for downloading modem code updates. This means you can easily update your modem to use the most compatible and reliable technology. Like all Zoom Dualmode modems, the Zoom/FaxModem 56K USB includes V.80 capability for compatibility with H.324 Standard point-to-point videotelephony over regular phone lines. It also supports H.323 Internet applications using video conferencing.
