Operational Modes
The 392xPlus operational modes determine how your modem performs in various applications.
These operational modes are determined by your modem model and the selected configuration
options.
There are two operational modes:
• Singleport mode. Operates on both the singleport and multiport modems. Singleport mode is
the only operational mode for the singleport modem. For the multiport modem, it is in effect
when the MUX mode configuration option is set to Disable. The Singleport mode only
supports one port (DTE 1).
• Multiport operational mode. Operates only on the multiport
effect when the MUX mode configuration option is set to TDM/MSD or DTE_Bridge. It
supports from one to four ports (DTE 1–4), depending on how the modem is further
configured.
Using Table 1-1, identify your modem’
and its selected MUX mode configuration option.
Use the identified operational mode (Singleport or Multiport) to choose the configuration options
that are appropriate for your application. Refer to Chapter 4,
information on configuration options.

The Digital (DTE) Bridge application is only available in 392xPlus multiport modems. It provides
the ability for dial backup of a multipoint configuration by bridging the signal on the digital side of
the FEP-end modems. In this configuration, only two ports (both on the FEP side) are used on the
control and backup modems. Data received on Port 1 is transmitted across the communication link,
as well as looped back out of Port 2. Data received across the communication link and on Port 2 is
sent out of Port 1. For more information, refer to the Multiport Mode section of Chapter 4 or the

V.34 Modulation
When the Digital Bridge is enabled, a new menu is present with the following conditions:
• TDM capability is disabled when DTE Bridge mode is enabled, therefore the rate of Port 1
is forced to run at the line rate.
• Configuration options are provided for Port 1 only; Port 2 cannot be configured.
• Ports 3 and 4 are not available.
• Port-related tests, such as digital loopbacks and Pattern tests, are available for Port 1.
• DTE Status, Health and Status, and LED control are available for both Ports 1 and 2.
The V.34 modulation capability is available in all 392xPlus modems. In Singleport mode the V.34
modulation is compatible with other vendors’ modems that support the CCITT V.34 modulation.
The two top rates of 31,200 and 33,600 bps (Paradyne), however, only function with other
392xPlus modems. In Multiport mode, the V.34 modulation will not operate at line rates of 31,200,
26,400, and 21,600 bps, and is only compatible with other 392xPlus
modems.

level, and automatic adjustment of the symbol (baud) rate for optimal data throughput. These
automatic adjustments are made during the training, or modem synchronization, phase via special
line-probing techniques that establish the top-most viable rate of operation. Due to these
techniques, true fixed-rate operation of the modems using V
the line condition may not be capable of supporting the selected rate. Thus, using CT11
CT112 for rate control of extended data circuits cannot be used.
When operating in V.34 modulation, you can use the top line of the Quick Configuration screen to
view the current modem transmit rate, the symbol or baud rate, and the transmit level. The
392xPlus modems offer separate options for leased and dial lines to override the asymmetric rate
function, since this can cause problems for certain DTE equipment, Also, each symbol rate

NOTE
When a 2400 V.34 modulation connection occurs on one end of a
modem pair with configuration options set for Asymmetric rates, the
other modem is 24K due to the 2400 symbol rate it uses.
When the 392xPlus multiport modem has the MUX mode configuration option set to either
TDM/MSD or Digital Bridge, it is in Multiport mode, and either dial lines or a 2-wire leased line
can be used to back up the primary 4-wire leased line. Backup can be performed automatically
upon loss of the primary leased line, and automatic dial standby also can be used to automatically
return the modems to the primary leased line when restored.
When you use backup functions while in Multiport mode, the modem’s automode feature is forced
to Disable. This ensures that the mux is not accidentally disabled by answering a call, which is
using modulation where Multiport mode is not supported. It is important that both modems
participating in the backup are in Multiport mode with the same dial-line modulation.

Modem Installation
Before
installing your standalone modem, make sure your installation site is clean and
well-ventilated. Allow space around the modem for installing cables and telephone cords, and
make sure the modem is located within reach of the ac power outlet. The distance between your
modem and DTE should be minimized if DTE data rates exceed 19,200 bps. Also, low capacitance
cables may be necessary for speeds greater than 19,200 bps or distances greater than 50 feet.
The back panel of the Model 3920Plus modem (Figure 2-1) has the following switches and
connectors:
• An ON/OFF power switch.
• An 8-pin DIN type power receptacle (PWR) for the dc power supply.
• An 8-pin modular keyed jack (LEASED) for 4-wire/2-wire leased lines.
• An 8-pin modular keyed jack (DIAL) for backup lines (2-wire dial or 2-wire leased).
• A 4-pin modular jack (NMS) for the Network Management System connection.
• One (singleport) or four (multiport) 25-pin DB-25-S receptacles for the DTE interfaces.
Connecting Cables to the Model 3920
Instructions for connecting cables to the TELCO jack types using the appropriate cables apply to
both singleport and multiport Model 3920Plus modems. Figure 2-1 illustrates the Model 3920Plus
multiport modem. For pin assignments, refer to Appendix C.
