All About Modems• Devices used by PCs to communicate over
phone lines
• Can be an external device connected to a USB or serial port
• Can be a modem card, which can use either an ISA or PCI slot

All About Modems• Some motherboards have a small expansion slot
called an audio/modem riser (AMR) or a communication and networking riser (CNR) slot
• Are both hardware and firmware• MOdulation/DEModulation
Convert digital data to analog, then back to digital
• Provide an RJ-11 connection• Must be able to both receive and transmit data (full-
duplex)

RJ-11 Connection
![Page 11: Chapter 10 Supporting Modems. You Will Learn… How modems work and how to install them About communications software that modems use to communicate with.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56649dcf5503460f94ac46f5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
How Modems Are Rated• Modem properties affect performance and
compatibility with other modems Speed Protocols Data compression Error correction
• Getting started: handshaking or training
![Page 12: Chapter 10 Supporting Modems. You Will Learn… How modems work and how to install them About communications software that modems use to communicate with.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56649dcf5503460f94ac46f5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Modem Speeds• Measured in bits per second (bps)
• 56.6 Kbps most common
![Page 13: Chapter 10 Supporting Modems. You Will Learn… How modems work and how to install them About communications software that modems use to communicate with.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56649dcf5503460f94ac46f5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Viewing Modem Ratings
![Page 14: Chapter 10 Supporting Modems. You Will Learn… How modems work and how to install them About communications software that modems use to communicate with.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56649dcf5503460f94ac46f5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The Ceiling on Modem Speeds• Analog phone lines were designed for
transmission of human voice; affects ability to attain high transmission speeds for data
• Method used when an analog signal is converted to a digital signal
• Noise (line disturbance)
![Page 15: Chapter 10 Supporting Modems. You Will Learn… How modems work and how to install them About communications software that modems use to communicate with.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56649dcf5503460f94ac46f5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Modem Standards• Written by the CCITT, now called the ITU
(International Telecommunication Union)
• The more standards a modem supports, the better it can communicate with a variety of other modems
![Page 16: Chapter 10 Supporting Modems. You Will Learn… How modems work and how to install them About communications software that modems use to communicate with.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56649dcf5503460f94ac46f5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Data Compression on a Modem• Performed by firmware housed on the modem
• Follows one of three protocols, all of which also perform error correction MNP-5 CCITTV.42 V.42bis
![Page 20: Chapter 10 Supporting Modems. You Will Learn… How modems work and how to install them About communications software that modems use to communicate with.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56649dcf5503460f94ac46f5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Error Correction on a Modem• Performed by firmware housed on the modem
• Works by breaking data up into small packets (frames)
• Sending modem performs calculations on a frame, then sums calculations into a checksum
![Page 21: Chapter 10 Supporting Modems. You Will Learn… How modems work and how to install them About communications software that modems use to communicate with.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56649dcf5503460f94ac46f5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Key Points aboutthe Handshaking Process
• Answering modem sends a guard tone so connection is not broken
• Carrier is established
• Equalization stage
• Modem speed (line speed) is set between modems
• Modem speakers turn off
![Page 22: Chapter 10 Supporting Modems. You Will Learn… How modems work and how to install them About communications software that modems use to communicate with.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56649dcf5503460f94ac46f5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Serial Port Settings• Serial ports that modems use are controlled by
UART logic
• UART-to-UART communication is controlled by port settings
• Five protocols control these port settings
![Page 23: Chapter 10 Supporting Modems. You Will Learn… How modems work and how to install them About communications software that modems use to communicate with.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56649dcf5503460f94ac46f5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Port Settings and Modem Settings• Communication between DTE and DCE
(computer and modem) is controlled by port settings
• Communication between two DCE devices (two modems) is controlled by modem settings
![Page 25: Chapter 10 Supporting Modems. You Will Learn… How modems work and how to install them About communications software that modems use to communicate with.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56649dcf5503460f94ac46f5/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

The AT Command Set• Hayes language for modem control
• Each command line is prefaced with AT for ATtention
• A modem that uses this language stays in command mode any time that it is not connected to another modem

Troubleshooting Guidelinesfor Modems
• What works and what doesn’t work?
• What has worked in the past that doesn’t work now?
• What has changed since things last worked?
![Page 42: Chapter 10 Supporting Modems. You Will Learn… How modems work and how to install them About communications software that modems use to communicate with.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56649dcf5503460f94ac46f5/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Potential Modem Problems• Modem does not respond
• Modem says there is no dial tone, but you can hear it
• Modem dials, then says other end is busy, even when you know it is not
• Sending modem and receiving modem take a long time to negotiate the connection

Potential Modem Problems• During connection, it sounds as if handshaking
starts all over again
• File transfers are slow
• Modem loses connection at odd times or is slow
• Modem drops connection and gives NO CARRIER message

Potential Modem Problems• Whenever weather is bad, disconnects often
• Whenever large files are downloaded, some data is lost
• Connection fails whenever large files are uploaded or downloaded
• Nothing but garbage across the connection
