Modem Tips

 

Lucent recommends any reputable vendor of V.32bis or V.34 modems. For best results, configure the modem to do the following:

•  Lock the data terminal equipment (DTE) rate at 115.2Kbps or as high as the modem can operate reliably
•  Raise DCD when a call comes in
•  Reset itself when DTR is dropped
•  Use hardware flow control (RTS/CTS)
•  Answer the telephone on the first ring for dial-in use
