Hints to setup your ZyXEL U-1496
Here are some guidelines to help you setup your ZyXEL
modem and software.
1. High speed modems operate differently from the 2400
buds and lower speed modems. Because of data
compression and error correction functions, the actual
communication speeds between the telephone line and
the modem and between the modem and your
computer are quite different. In most cases, setting
your software to communicate at the modem speed is
not enough. We recommend you to set your software
at speed of 38,400 or 57,600Kbps if you have 16550
UART. (ZyXEL U-1496B Internal model has a 16550
UART)
2. All the ZyXEL U-1496 series have the capability of
auto handshaking which would adapt to different
speeds. In most cases, it will talk to 1200, 2400, 9600,
14400 buad modems without changing the settings.
Therefore, we advise you to set your communication
software at fixed 38,400 or 57,600 Kbps. and turn
"Auto Buad Rate Detect" off.
3. Most communication programs let you select different
communication speeds for each entry in the dialing
directory. For high speed modems, we suggest you
revise the speed of all entries to a fixed 38,400 or
57,600 Kbps. This is the speed your computer will talk
to U-1496, and the U-1496 will then decide which
speed it should communicate with the modem at the
other end.
4. Most communication programs use the result message
which the modem returns to the software when
connection was made to determine the speed of the
communication. Since the "Auto Buad Rate Detect"
has already been turned off the "Result Message"
settings in software is no longer important. We
suggest you to keep "Connect" only in the result
message setting section of your communication
software.
5. Flow control is very important in high speed modem
communications. We suggest you use "Hardware Flow
Control" or "RTS/CTS Flow Control" with ZyXEL
U-1496, since it is the most efficient and is also the
manufacture default setting.
6. When you first start up the modem please make sure
to issue a command, "AT&F" to your ZyXEL U-1496
prior to doing anything else. This will reset the modem
back to manufacture default setting.
7. We have developed drivers for some popular
communication software. You can log in to our BBS at
886-35-787045 to find out if we have the drivers for your
communication software. If you are unable to find the
driver please leave a message for our SYSOP. It is
possible, we might be able to have the driver ready
for you within a week.
