Chapter 1 – Product Description and

Specifications

Overview

The MT5600BR-V92 modem card was designed for the CC1600 Series card cage. It uses ITU-T V.92
protocol to provide quick connections, capable of downstream transmissions at speeds up to 56K bps*,
and upstream transmissions at speeds up to 48K bps when connected to V.92-compatible Internet
service providers.

This document is a configuration guide for the MT5600BR-V92. It includes information on DIP switches,
toggles, and LEDs. It does not include instructions for installing this modem card in a rack. Refer to
related documentation for details.

Telecom Safety Warnings

● Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

● Disconnect this product from the power source and telephone network interface when servicing.

● Use this product with UL and cUL listed computers.

● Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been

disconnected at the network interface.

● Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

● Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a

remote risk of electrical shock from lightning.

● Do not use a telephone in the vicinity of a gas leak – not even to report a gas leak.

● To reduce the risk of fire, use only 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord.

● Never install a telephone jack in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet

locations.

* Although this modem is capable of 56K bps download performance, line impairments, phone

infrastructure, and other external factors may prevent maximum 56K bps connections.

Note: Transmissions between the MT5600BR-V92 and other modems are limited to 33.6K bps, as

are upstream transmissions to non-V.92-compatible ISPs and downstream transmissions that
are converted more than once on the telephone network.

This chapter describes the modem card DIP Switches, toggle switches, berg jumper, and LEDs.

Setting DIP Switches

The MT5600-V92 modem card contains sixteen DIP switches. How a switch operates depends on
whether the modem is in synchronous or asynchronous mode (DIP switch #12).

Factory defaults are set to use the MT5600BR-V92 to dial up a remote installation where the call is
answered automatically. Your communications software may require different settings. For the correct
DIP switch settings, check your software’s documentation.

Before you install modem cards in the card cage, verify that the DIP switch settings are correct for your
application (dial-up or lease line).

OOS (Busy Out) Toggle Switch

The front panel has a two-position out of service (OOS) switch. Use this switch to take the modem off­hook, which creates a busy condition for the modem.

● Move the OOS toggle switch to BUSY to take the modem out of service. The OOS and OH LEDs light

and incoming calls get a busy signal.

If you suspect a modem is not working, use BUSY to have an optional device, such as a hunt group, roll
the call to the next available modem while you check the busy modem.

Out of Service Test Jumper

When the MT5600BR-V92 is out of service, it is busy to incoming calls. In the Test (default) setting, the
modem drives pin 25 high when the modem is in Test mode. The OOS (optional) setting forces pin 25
high and puts the modem in a busy condition.

Note: Jumper (shorting) plugs do not shipped with the MT5600BR-V92, but Multi-Tech Technical

Support will provide jumper plugs on request.
