Paradyne 3910 - Manual (Page 15)

1-1 3910-A2-GN32-40 September 1998
Introduction
Overview
The COMSPHERE 391x Series modems, a new generation of full-feature, high-speed modems,
offer reliable asynchronous and synchronous operation over leased-line or dial networks. The 391x
Series modems’ unique software defineability allows for the addition of future enhancements,
whether it is installing new features or firmware upgrades.
The modem’s compatibility with a number of dialing methods and protocols, such as asynchronous
AT commands, ITU-T V.25bis dialing, and the user-friendly diagnostic control panel (DCP),
permits the 391x Series modem to be used in a variety of applications and environments while also
allowing control over modem configuration, dialing, and diagnostics. The 391x Series modems
offer preset factory configurations containing the most often used modem settings.
