2. 2 Objectives At the end of this presentation, you will be able to:

3. 3 Explain three problems involved in sending data over ordinary telephone lines. Explain the purpose of the Modem and the UART and briefly explain how each works. Match the Modem speed to its “V dot” standard. Recognize the “V dot” standards for Modem error correction and compression. Match the Serial Port speed to its UART chip type. List the de facto standards for the resources assigned to Serial Ports COM1 through COM4.

9. 9 The Modem Modulator / Demodulator Converts the digital signals from the computer into the analog signals required by the telephone line. Converts the analog signals from the telephone line into the digital signals required by the computer.

13. 13 Baud Baud - A single state change of the analog signal. Baud Rate - The number of times per second that the analog signal changes state. In early modems, one baud usually represented one bit. In today’s modems, one baud represents more than one bit.

16. 16 The UART Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter The heart of the Serial (COM) port. Converts the parallel data required by the CPU into the serial data required by the serial port. Converts the serial data received at the serial port into the parallel data required by the CPU.

19. 19 Two Types of Modems Internal – ISA or PCI board that fits inside the computer. External – Stand-alone box. Connects to one of the COM Ports.

24. 24 V.42 Error-Correction Standards Link Access Procedure for Modems (LAPM) Microcom Networking Protocol – 4 (MNP-4)

25. 25 V.42bis Compression Standard. Uses a compression technique to reduce the size of out going data. Can compress data up to about 4 to 1. For example, a 33,600-bps Modem could transfer data at a rates up to about 134,400 bps.

26. 26 The COM Port Also called the Serial Port or RS-232 Port The link between the computer and the Modem. The external Modem connects to the COM port on the back of the computer via a serial cable. The internal Modem has a built-in COM port that duplicates the function of the external COM port.
