SupraFAXModem 288 (V34 version) FLASH Rom Code Changes
------------------------------------------------------
{CHANGES.V34 v1.1 2/28/95phm}
Changes from V34 1.000-12 to 1.000-14 Code
------------------------------------------
- The ATI10 command was now prints explanations for features 115 and 140.
- When copying a dial command from the command buffer to the redial
buffer the modem did not check the size of the dial command. So
long dial commands overwrite variables that follow the redial buffer.
This code only copies as many characters as will fit. This prevents
problems but it does mean the ATDL command will not work with really
long dial commands (the string will be truncated).
- Corrected an internal modem problem with the AT\S command
printing the wrong parity and bits per character.
- The delay from answering to when CNG tones will be watched for
in adaptive answer has been decreased by 600 milliseconds & the
delay from answering to when ANS tone is generated is now 4 seconds.
This solves a problem with the new adaptive CNG tone mode (S192 bit
1) when answering a call. The originating modem will stop sending
CNG tones as soon as ANS tone from the answering modem is received.
With S192=0 the answering modem will try a data carrier and then try
a fax carrier which will connect. There is no need for CNG detection.
With S192=2 adaptive answer will not try a fax carrier after a data
carrier, it must see a CNG tone. But the originating modem stops
sending CNG as soon as it heres the data carrier ANS tone. By
delaying 4 seconds before transmitting ANS tone there is time to
detect a CNG tone.
Changes from V34 1.000-14 to 1.000-15 Code
------------------------------------------
- When bit 7 of S110 is set the modem will prefer VFC connections
over V.34 connections when originating a call. If the answering
modem supports both VFC and V.34 a VFC connection will be made
instead of V.34 connection.
- There is a bug in all Rockwell AC based V.32bis modems when
originating a fax call. The cadence of the CNG tone is incorrect.
The cadence should be 500ms of tone with 3000ms of silence (+-15%).
The AC modem generates at least 600ms of tone and it may be as
long as 700ms under some conditions.
The current cadence based SilentAnswer code requires the tone
to be between 420ms and 580ms (the +-15% range rounded to a
multiple of 20ms). So an ACi/ACL/VFC/V.34 modem in SilentAnswer
mode will not accept a fax call from an AC based modem.
The new code allows the tone to be between 420ms and 700ms in
length. This will allow detection of calls from AC based modems
when in SilentAnswer. The additional time should not cause in
problems with false detection of CNG.
- The AA and CC signals transmitted when answering a V.32/V.32bis
call were about 3dB too weak.
- Improved V.34 handshaking
- Improved V.32/V.32bis handshaking after fallback from VFC and V34
(should correct connection problems with some V.32bis modems
including USR Sportster and some much older designs.)
- When bit 5 of S192 is set the display will indicate whether
a rate renegotiation was initiated localy or remotely. Local
requests will also indicate falling forward or falling back.
- Improved rate renegotiation requests for better operation on
on lines with variable noise levels that have caused the modem
to not adapt to the new line conditions fast enough to avoid
losing carrier.
