The Courier HST Dual Standard modem combines U.S. Robotics HST
asymmetrical full-duplex modulation and CCITT V.32 capability for high-
speed flexibility, performance and compatibility.
The Courier HST Dual Standard is perfect for data centers that
support both PC and mainframe applications, and where synchronous and
asynchronous capabilities are required.
The Dual Standard includes all major modulation techniques -
HST, V.32, V.22 bis, V.22, V.21, Bell 212A and Bell 103 - providing
compatibility with the vast installed base of synchronous and
asynchronous modems from 300 to 19,200 bps, including all current and
previous models of U.S. Robotics Courier HST modem.
For typical, asynchronous, PC-style applications such as one-
way file transfer, the Dual Standard modem╒s HST technology provides
the fastest error-free transmission available on dial-up circuits.
The Dual Standard modem V.32 capability is the versatile
solution for applications requiring true full-duplex and/or synchronous
transmission, such as host-to-host or micro-to-mainframe comunication,
remote LAN bridging, two-wire leased lines, leased line dial backup or
high-speed international standards compatibility.
In its asymmetrical HST operation, the Dual Standard modem
transmits asynchronous data at 9.6, 7.2 and 4.8 Kbps, automatically
providing the fastest data rate in response to phone line conditions.
In V.32 mode, the Dual Standard modem sends and receives asynchronous
or synchronous data at 9.6, 7.2 and 4.8 Kbps.
The Dual Standard modem also provides CCITT V.42 compatibility
by including MNP Class 1 through 4 error-control protocols. The modem
also features MNP Class 5 data compression, effectively boosting its
data rates by up to 80 percent when connected to other MNP Class 5
modems.
In HST mode, the Dual Standard uses U.S. Robotics asymmetrical
full- duplex modulation technique, splitting the phone line bandwidth
into non- overlapping high-speed and low-speed channels. The modem
automatically assigns the high-speed channel direction based on
dataflow demand. The HST technique uses trellis-coded modulation for
high-speed, error-free performance.
In V.32 mode, the Dual Standard operates simultaneous
send and receive frequencies using trellis-coded modulation and echo-
concelling.
Courier HST Dual Standard is available in external and
rackmounted models. The rackmounted version works in U.S. Robotics
Rackmount 30 Modular Modem System, which includes a 19-inch-wide
chassis for up to 15 modem and interface boards.
DESCRIPTION
7.2 and 4.8 Kbps in V.32 mode, and at 2400, 1200 and 300 bps in either
mode.
Data Compression - MNP Service Class 5 compression, available at all
transmission speeds above 300 bps, increases effective throughput by up
to 80 percent.
Error Checking - MNP Service Classes 1 through 4 at all speeds above
300 bps (asynchronous transmission only).
Hardware/software flow control allows fixed RS-232 rates up to 19.2
Kbps.
Asynchronous or synchronous transmission on dial-up or leased lines.
Synchronous available in V.32 mode only at all speeds above 300 bps.
Auto-dial - asynchronous ("AT" command set), synchronous (nonvolatile
RAM).
Ease of Use Features:
Automatic transmission-speed adjustment guarantees highest
possible speed under a wide range of conditions.
Automatically adapts to the highest data rate supported by the
remote modem.
Speaker with volume control for audio call-progress monitoring.
On-screen and bottom label help summaries.
RS232-C pins 2 and 3 (Send and Receive data) switch-reversible
for easy use with terminal, computer or printer.
Technical Specs:
Twelve LED front panel indicators.
Local analog and digital loopback, and remote digital loopback self-
testing.
U.S./CCITT answer sequences.
Includes power adapter and RJ11C phone cord.
Two phone jacks for voice/data communications.
Size: 8.3" wide, 12.65" deep, 1.57" tall.
Power adapter UL listed, CSA approved. Supply voltage:
115 VAC, 60 Hz, 16 VAC output.
SPECIAL FEATURES
High-Speed Operation - Courier HST Dual Standard offers the most
productivity, flexibilty and compatibility.
HST mode - High-speed compatibility with all Courier HST
modems.
V.32 mode - Compatible with all CCITT V.32 standard modems.
Trellis-coded modulation in both high-speed modes ensures maximum
immunity to telephone network impairments.
Nonvolatile Random Access Memory (NRAM) - Easily programmable
nonvolatile memory stores user-defined default configuration.
Phone Number Storage - Creates auto dial directory of four frequently
called phone numbers.
Automatic Dialing - "AT" command dialing and automatic dialing of
stored phone number at power on, reset command or when terminal turns
on DTR.
Synchronous Auto-Dialing - Automatically dials stored phone number,
then establishes synchronous data link.
Diagnostics - Local and remote loopback testing provides DTE, modem
and phone line diagnostic capabilities.

A WORD ABOUT U.S. ROBOTICS
When you purchase a modem, you buy more than data communications
hardware. When you purchase a modem, you buy a relationship with an
organization. To help in your evaluation, I would like to introduce us
to you.
We are U.S. Robotics. We are more than 175 people dedicated to
designing, manufacturing and providing quality products, services and
systems to enhance the capabilities of business and professional
customers worldwide. Our mission is to strive to be "the best data
communications company."
Since our start in 1976, we have sold more than one million
modems, and led the industry with many technological firsts. For
example, we built the first modem using off-the-shelf microprocessor
technology (1982), and the first surface-mount-technology modem (1987).
Over the years, we have honed our quality control and manufacturing
capabilities by making modems for Apple, Commodore, Zenith, Kaypro and
Grid. This is reflected in our own Courier and Sportster products. For
three out of four years,we have made the INC. 500 list of fastest
growing private firms.
I know you have a modem choice. As you will discover, the
difference between vendors is partially technological - Data
Communications magazine rated our Courier HST as the #1 high-speed
modem (April 1988). Part of it is the way the vendor relates to its
customers. USR was ranked as the #1 overall performing modem vendor by
modem users surveyed by Datapro Research (October 1988).
We are proud of our accomplishments and of the service we
provide to our customers. Thank you for considering U.S. Robotics
products. I believe we have much to offer, and we look forward to
satisfying your data communications needs.
Sincerely yours,
Jonathan Zakin
Executive Vice President, Sales & Marketing
