2.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
Congratulations on your purchase of this USB Modem. The Model
2192/USB/V.92 Modem features the latest innovations in high speed
modem design to make electronic communication faster and easier,
including V.92 compatibility. This manual will show you how to install and
properly use the modem in order to take full advantage of its features. If
any questions or problems arise during installation or use of this product,
contact Patton Electronics Technical Support at
+1 (301) 975-1007
.
Note
Follow all cautions and instructions in this manual to avoid dam-
aging the product.
2.1 PACKAGE CONTENTS
Carefully unpack and remove the carton contents. Contact your dealer
immediately if any of the following items are missing or damaged:
Modem carton
Model 2192/USB/V.92 Modem
CD-ROM (contains modem
driver software and user manual)
2.2 V.92 FEATURES
The Patton 2192 USB modem is compatible with the V.92 modem standard and, when operated in conjunction with services provided by your
local phone company and Internet service provider (ISP), provides the
following capabilities:*
• QuickConnect
• PCM Upstream
*Your ISP and local phone company must support V.92. If the y do , the
USB modem will automatically detect that it can use V.92.
RJ-11 tele-
phone cable
5
USB
cable
• Modem-on-Hold
• V.44 Data Compression
QuickConnect
Allows your modem to connect to the ISP f aster than bef ore . Very simply ,
QuickConnect shortens the time it takes to make a connection by
remembering the phone line and ISP characteristics, then storing them
for later usage. QuickConnect cuts the modem handshake time in half for
most calls.
PCM Upstream
Boosts the upstream data rates between you and your ISP to reduce
upload times for large files and email attachments. Although previous
modem standards like V.90 may have shown a downstream connection
rate of up to 57.6 the actual upload speeds were limited to 33.6 kbps.
V.92 raises the upload rate to a maximum of 48 kbps so e-mails and file
transfers can upload much faster.
Modem-on-Hold (MOH)
Many households use the same phone line for v oice calls and for surfing
the Internet. Before MOH, the user browsing the Internet prevented
incoming or outgoing phone calls. Now, modem-on-hold enables users to
receive incoming calls while remaining connected to the Internet.** Also,
you can make a voice call while connected to the Internet and keep the
modem connection active. Typically, you can spend up to 10 minutes on
a voice call without affecting your online connection, then, when you
hang up the phone, you can resume browsing. For more information on
using modem-on-hold, go to Section 4.0, “Setting Up and Using Modemon-Hold” on page 16.
V.44 Data Compression
Automatically compresses your data to boost y our effective data delivery
rates from 10 to 120% faster than those achie ved by using the V.42bis compression protocol. The most popular activity on the Internet is browsing web
sites, and this is where V.44 deliv ers the greatest improv ement ov er V.42bis.
Most web pages use HTML content that can be highly compressed to
increase your data throughput by up to 120%. V.44 increases data throughput for email by up to 27%, W ord documents b y up to 21%, P o werP oint files
by up to 10%, and C source files by up to 45%. V.44 will not typically
increase your data delivery rate for already compressed files lik e JPEG and
GIF pictures, and TAR, SIT, and ZIP archived software downloads.
** Call-Waiting service from your phone company is required.

4.0 SETTING UP AND USING MODEM-ON-HOLD
The modem-on-hold feature requires the following:
• Internet service from an ISP that supports V.92—Verify that your ISP
supports V.92 MOH. Be sure to ask how long an Internet call can be
left on hold before your Internet session will be disconnected.
• Extra services from your local phone company—Check with your local
phone company to see if your telephone line has these features:
– The ability to receive voice calls while on a data call—You must hav e
call waiting service from your local phone company. Call waiting
(your local phone company may have a different name for the service) enables you to receive a second phone call while your phone
line is already in use (or
off-hook
).
– The ability to make voice calls while on a data call—You may be
required to have 3-w a y calling (It ma y be called another name by y our
local phone company) which enables you to make a second phone
call while your phone line is already off hook. For voice calls you can
switch to the second phone call by using flash hook (i.e ., pressing and
releasing the flash hook button quickly to signal to the e xchange to put
the current call on hold).
• The connections between your PC, the modems and phones within
the premise—The USB modem is essentially like connecting another
phone handset to your existing telephone wiring.
The following sections describe setting up and using MOH.
