Getting To Know Your Modem

This chapter introduces you to the features and specifications for the ZyXEL Omni 56K II and
Omni 56K Plus II modems.

1.1 The Omni 56K II and Omni 56K Plus II Modem

The Omni 56K II and Omni 56K Plus II are analog Data/Fax/Voice modems used for Internet access via telephone wire. The Omni 56K Plus II also supports a Universal Serial Bus (USB) connection to a computer. Both modems can run upstream maximum rates of 48 kilobits per second (Kbps) and downstream rates of 56Kbps. The actual rate depends on the line quality, the distance to the exchange and server side configuration.

1.2 Features of the Omni 56K II and Omni 56K Plus II Modem

ZyDAS Fifth Generation Data Pump with V.92 Capability
The Omni 56K II and Omni 56K Plus II modems provide the v.92 quick connect feature. This feature can shorten the modem handshaking time and therefore reduces the wait time and associated dial-up cost for each new connection.
V.92: 56K Down-stream and 48K Up-stream Data Transmission
The Omni 56K II and Omni 56K Plus II modems comply with the V.92 standard for data communications. This means that your modem is able to communicate at 56K on data communications originating from your service provider and at 48K on communications going to your service provider.
Microsoft Windows 95/98/2000/Me/XP: RS-232 Plug and Play Compatible
Your modem provides the convenience of simply being connected to the serial port on your computer. The serial port is a dedicated communications port and allows for optimum data speeds between your computer and modem.
Microsoft Windows 98/2000/Me/XP: USB Plug and Play Compatible (Omni 56K Plus II)
The Omni 56K Plus II modem is fully compliant to the USB 1.1 standard. You can use the USB port to install the Omni 56 Plus II without having to restart your computer.
Getting to Know Your Modem 1-1
Omni 56K II and Omni 56K Plus II User’s Guide
Hot-swappable with Other USB Devices (Omni 56K Plus II)
The USB option allows you to simply plug in or disconnect your modem without the need for lengthy computer restarts. This timesaving benefit simplifies the installation process as well as providing a quick and easy way to transfer your modem between different computers.
Automatic Data/Fax Call Detection
The Omni 56K II and Omni 56K Plus II modems can automatically answer an incoming call and ascertain whether that call is a data or a fax call. When used with the supplied software, this feature will allow you to use your modem as a powerful communications device that can receive calls, broadcast and receive messages from voice boxes, and receive faxes on one phone line.
G3 14.4Kbps Fax Send/Receive
Your modem supports the V.17 fax standard that will allow for fax speeds of up to 14400 bps when transmitting to another V.17 fax machine. When connecting to an earlier G3 fax device, your modem operates at speeds up to 9600.
Support Fax Class 1, Class 2 and Class 2.0 Command Set
The fax facilities as offered on the Omni 56K II and Omni 56K Plus II modems provide full compatibility with the class 1, class 2 and class 2.0 command sets. This compatibility means that your fax modem is fully configurable with a wider range of options that can be optimized if need be.
Voice Digitization (via the IS-101 Command Set) and Compression
The IS-101 Command Set is a defined standard that details the voice recording and playback capability of a data communications device. The Omni 56K II and Omni 56K Plus II modems follow this standard and this allows for the recording and transmission of digitized voice and voice/data.
When activated, this feature provides the ability to digitize incoming voice messages, which the computer stores and either plays back at your request, or forwards onto other remote devices. This means that the modem can playback a recorded digitized voice online for the use of message announcements or act as a separate answering service.
Data Compression and Error Correction
Data compression is utilized to reduce the number of bits actually sent and received. This saves on the actual amount of data being sent and therefore increases the modem's speed (or throughput). Error correction protocols are used so that the compressed data can be accurately decompressed on the receiving end.
Omni 56K II and Omni 56K Plus II modems support V.44, V.42bis and MNP5 data compression protocols as well as MNP4/V.42 error correction. MNP5 is used with MNP4 error control; V.44 and V.42bis are used with V.42 error control. The compression efficiency of V.42bis is generally higher than that of MNP5.

3.7 Flow Control
This feature refers to stopping and restarting the flow of data into and out of the modem's transmission and receiving data buffers. Flow control is necessary so that a device does not receive more data than it can handle. The Omni 56K II and Omni 56K Plus II provide two kinds of flow control methods.

3.8 Hardware CTS/RTS Flow Control

This is a bi-directional flow control where CTS (Clear to Send) and RTS (Ready to Send) are RS-232 signals that must be available on your computer. CTS is an RS-232 signal that means the device can send data now. RTS signifies that the device is now ready to receive data. Both CTS and RTS are hardware methods of flow control.
Specifications and Functions 3-5
Omni 56K II and Omni 56K Plus II User’s Guide

3.9 Software XON/XOFF Flow Control

This is a bi-directional flow control. XON and XOFF character defaults are decimals 17 and 19. These can be changed by modifying the S-Registers S31 and S32.Both the modem and the DTE will treat XOFF as a signal to stop transmitting data and will treat XON as a signal to restart sending data. Modems will not send these characters received from the local DTE to the remote modem.
3.10 Error Control
Error control keeps the modem data link error-free by detecting and re-transmitting erroneous data. The Omni 56K II and Omni 56K Plus II modems support both MNP and V.42 error control protocols. The MNP protocol was an industry standard developed and licensed by Microcom, Inc. Omni 56K II and Omni 56K Plus II modems support level 4 and 3 error control protocols, commonly denoted as MNP4 and MNP3. V42 is a standard developed by CCITT. V.42 supports both LAPM and MNP4. A V.42 handshake will try an LAPM connection first, and if it is not successful, it will try MNP4.
3.11 Data Compression
In the modem, the data compression is activated to reduce the number of bits actually sent. The receiving modem applies these techniques in reverse to recover the actual data from the compressed data stream.
The Omni 56K II and Omni 56K Plus II modems support V.44, V.42bis and MNP5 data compression protocols. Data compression needs an error-free data link to work correctly, otherwise the corrupted compressed data stream will ruin the decompression process. MNP5 is used with MNP4 error control, V.44 and V.42bis are used with V.42 error control. The compression efficiency of V.42bis is generally higher than that of MNP5.
3.12 Repeat Dial
The modem will dial the default number stored in non-volatile RAM, EEPROM, repeatedly if not connected. (s38.0=1,*Dn)
3.13 Cyclic Dial
Dial the number stored in EEPROM at location n(0-3) if cyclic dial s44.3=1 is set. If the first dial is not successful, the modem will cycle dial through the four numbers stored in memory.
3-6 Specifications and Functions
Omni 56K II and Omni 56K Plus II User’s Guide
3.14 Caller Number Delivery (Caller ID)
Caller Number Delivery (CND), commonly called Caller ID, is a feature that may be offered by your local phone company. Check your phone company for availability. You must subscribe to it and usually pay an additional monthly service charge for this service.
With CND service, the phone company's central office will send the coded caller information to the called station. This information is sent once between the first and second ring. Your modem can decode this caller information and present it to the connected computer/terminal during the second ring period as part of the call progress ring message. The modem will also report the Caller ID information if asked by the command AT*T.
There are two kinds of caller information message formats sent by the phone company. One is the single message format, which includes date, time, and caller ID. The other is the multiple message format, which also includes the caller name as registered with the phone company.
The command ATS40.2=n is used to enable (n=1) or disable (n=0) the Caller ID detection function. The default is disabled. Enable it only when you have this service and want to enable its detection.
The Caller ID message may cause some communication software that is not expecting it to become confused. If you plan to use the Caller ID feature, be sure you are using software that supports it.
In single message format, the modem will send a ring message to the terminal as follows:
RING
TIME: <MM-DD hh:mm>
CALLER NUMBER: <CALLER_ID> or CALLER NAME:<CALLER_NM>
RING
MM is the two-digit month message, DD is the two-digit date message, hh is the hour and mm is the minute of the time, and CALLER_ID is the phone number of the caller or CALLER_NM his/her name.
The following is an example of a caller ID message as it might appear on your screen:
RING
TIME: 04-28 12:30
CALLER NUMBER: 7135551414 or CALLER NAME: Brent Harper
Specifications and Functions 3-7
Omni 56K II and Omni 56K Plus II User’s Guide
RING
In the multiple message format, if the caller's number and name are available, the ring message will display both:
RING
TIME: MM-DD hh:mm
CALLER NUMBER: <Caller_ID>
CALLER NAME: <Caller_Name>
RING
Here is an example:
RING
TIME: 04-28 12:30
CALLER NUMBER: 7135551414
CALLER NAME: Tracy Huang
RING
If the caller number and name are not available, the ring message will appear as follows:
RING
TIME: 04-28 12:30
REASON FOR NO NUMBER: OUT_OF_AREA
REASON FOR NO NAME: PRIVACY
RING
The last CND message that the modem received can be displayed by using the AT*T command.
3-8 Specifications and Functions
Omni 56K II and Omni 56K Plus II User’s Guide
Setting S48.0=1 will cause the modem to report CND information in its ASCII coded hexadecimal raw data format. The DTE software is responsible for explaining the data.
Please refer to the Bellcore Technical Advisory document TR-NWT-000030 for the exact data format. The above Caller ID scheme applies to the North America area.
Different countries may employ different Caller ID schemes, check if the scheme
used in your country is supported before using the Caller ID feature. For most
other Caller ID schemes, only the Caller telephone number is provided.
3.15 Distinctive Ring
Distinctive Ring is a phone service that may be offered by your phone company. Check your phone company for availability. With this service, you can have several phone numbers assigned to the same phone line. The phone company will send a different type of ring signal for each phone number being called. The subscriber can distinguish which number is called by which type of ring is received.
One benefit of this feature is the ability to have three numbers on the same line allowing you to list the three numbers for voice, data, and fax, respectively. You can then have your fax machine answer only the ring corresponding to the fax number and have your modem answer only the ring corresponding to the data number. A voice call will not be answered by either a fax or data machine - it will only be answered when someone picks up the phone. You can also have the answering machine answer only the voice ring. A more complicated use is that you can have one number for multiple uses, such as one number for both data and fax.
A ring signal is a composition of repeated on and off states. Different types of rings usually correspond to different compositions of the "on" part (cadence) of the ring. Your modem can distinguish up to four types of ring signals and can be commanded to answer or not answer any one of these four types of ring signals. Following is a list of these four types of ring signals. These are the ring types used in the USA. The difference among the ring types is the two-second ON part of the ring signal. It comprises a long, double short, or triple short ring.
S-register S40 bits 3-6 are used for distinctive ring control. Each bit controls the answering of a particular ring type. Setting a bit to "1" enables answering, setting it to "0" rejects the ring. Note that the ring may still be heard even if it is not counted as an accepted ring by the modem.
The control relationships between bits 3-6 in register S40 and the different ring types are:
Table 3-5 Different Ring Types in Register S40

3.16 Security Function
The Omni 56K II and Omni 56K Plus II modems provide a security function, which (when enabled) prevents an unauthorized user from making a connection. Two types of security function are provided. Type 1 security is used when the remote modem is also a ZyXEL modem; type 2 security is used when the remote modem is any other brand of modem.
With the type 1 connection, the dial-in (remote) modem will send in its supervisor password for checking at the initial connection handshake, and the local modem will check this password against its pre-stored acceptable password list. With a type 2 connection, the remote terminal will be prompted to enter the password at the initial connection and the local modem will do the password checking.
Two levels of security are provided. With level 1 security, the local modem will maintain the connection if the password check is OK, otherwise the line will be disconnected. With level 2 security, the local modem disconnects the line if the password has been found in its pre-stored acceptable list and then dials back to the phone number corresponding to the dial-in password. The line is simply disconnected if the password does not march.
4 user passwords may be defined. The corresponding 4 dial-back numbers are the modem's 4 stored phone numbers. Any character (ASCII 0-127) can be used in the password field and the maximum password length is 8 characters.
The security functions are only accessible through AT commands in terminal mode. Any access attempt will result in the modem's prompting to enter the supervisor password. The attempt will be rejected if the entered password is not correct. The default supervisor password is ZyXEL when the modem is shipped from the factory. This supervisor password is also the password sent for automatic password checking in a type 1 connection. To modify the supervisor password, use
AT*HS
You will be asked for the original password and a new password, and then to re-enter the new password for verification. For example:
PASSWORD (Enter supervisor password)
********
PASSWORD (Enter new supervisor password)
********
3-10 Specifications and Functions
Omni 56K II and Omni 56K Plus II User’s Guide
Verify (Enter the new supervisor password again)
********
OK
The command AT*Hn modifies the nth user password and the supervisor password on the screen for viewing. Again, the modem prompts you enter the supervisor password first.
The commands below enable different types and levels of security:
Table 3-6 Modem Security Function
CODE DESCRIPTION
*G0 Disables security function.
*G1 Enables type 1 and level 1 security, with password check.
*G2 Enables type 1 and level 2 security, with password check and callback.
*G3 Enables type 1 and level 1 security, with password check.
*G4 Enables type 1 and level 2 security, with password check and callback.
*G5 Enables type 2 and level 2 security, with password check and callback,
remote site enters the callback number.
Before the security type or level can be changed, the modem requires the
supervisor password.
For type 2 security, the remote site is prompted to enter the user password. A
maximum of 3 tries in 40 seconds is allowed. If a correct password is not entered
within this time limit, the modem disconnects. If the remote site needs to enter the
callback number, it will be prompted to do so.

3.17.3 ITU-T T.30 Fax Protocol
The ITU-T T.30 fax protocol is known as the G3 fax handshake signals and procedures. The modem takes full control of this protocol - initiating and terminating fax calls, managing the communication session, and transporting the image data. Therefore, the modem relieves the computer fax software of the T.30 protocol handling.
You modem allows for fax speeds up to 14400 bps when transmitting to another fax machine that complies with the V.17 fax standard. Speeds will fall back to 12000, 9600, or 7200 bps in poor line conditions. When connecting to a G3 fax device, your modem allows for fax speeds up to 9600 bps and will automatically fall back to 7200, 4800, and 2400 bps if the line quality is poor.
3.18 Voice Function
Voice capability stands for the modem's ability to digitize incoming voice messages, which the computer stores and forwards. It also means that the modem can playback the recorded digitized voice online for a message announcement.

3-12 Specifications and Functions
Omni 56K II and Omni 56K Plus II User’s Guide
3.18.2 4-bit Voice Data Compression
The main issue in the digitized voice mode is the amount of storage required. A relatively simple ADPCM algorithm can reduce the speech data rate to half the rate and maintain about the same voice quality. This algorithm can also be used to reduce the speech data rate to 1/3 or 1/4 of the original rate, but with voice quality degradation. 4-bit ADPCM is used in the Omni 56K II and Omni 56K Plus II modems.
