The ISDN modem incorporates proprietary high speed ISDN ISDN in full Integrated Services Digital Network Digital telecommunications network that operates over standard copper telephone wires or other media. and serial processing technology used in Computone's PowerRack remote access server and proprietary features of NewCom's high performance modem products. Using integral compression, the ISDN BRI interface can support data rates up to 512 Kbps. Correspondingly, the serial interface supports up to 921.6 Kbps, to ensure the asynchronous Refers to events that are not synchronized, or coordinated, in time. The following are considered asynchronous operations. The interval between transmitting A and B is not the same as between B and C. The ability to initiate a transmission at either end. serial line does not slow down the ISDN link. When used with the Computone IntelliServer PowerRack, which also supports 921.6 Kbps, the full ISDN bandwidth can be used. The modem also supports a standard AT Command Set Interface, V. 120 Rate Adaption adaption see adaptation. Protocol, and MultiLink Point-to-Point Protocol (MLPPP See MPPP. ) for channel bonding to combine both B channels. Thus, the modem ensures that you will maximize the use of your ISDN BRI links.
