PCMCIA 33.6 Data/FAX/Voice Modem

4-5

  MNP 10-EC and ETC

The purpose of MNP 10-EC and ETC cellular protocols is to combat particularly
harsh line conditions that can arise during cellular and rural transmissions to
produce optimum cellular performance.

MNP 10-EC is the default cellular protocol for your modem.   MNP 10-EC
supports LAP-M and MNP error correction protocols.  When the modem
connects with LAP-M error correction and has MNP 10-EC enabled, the protocol
reported is LAP-M-EC (if the protocol result code reporting option is enabled).
When the modem connects with MNP error correction and has MNP 10-EC
enabled, the protocol reported is ALT-EC.

Both MNP 10-EC and ETC offer the following additional features:

• 

Improves the initial connection success rate.

• 

Automatically calculates optimal transmission speeds to compensate for
cellular telephone signal distortion. This is done in the following
categories:

• 

The modem connection begins at the optimal speed that will
ensure a strong connection, then moves to the highest possible
speed during transmission.

• 

A reliable link is established during noisy call setups.

• 

Transmission speeds are adjusted continuously throughout the
connection, supplying the highest possible speed with the
greatest reliability that the line can support at any time.

• 

Link and transmission performance under adverse conditions
are greatly improved.  Errors during transmission are detected
and the packets resent.

• 

Signal line conditioning
