About V.92 Quick Connect
Quick Connect is a V.92 modem specification that reduces the time needed
to establish a connection via faster handshaking. Handshaking (which
makes all the noise you hear while dialing in) typically takes 25-27
seconds, but with Quick Connect, lasts only about half as long.
When enabled with Quick Connect, the Cordless 56K Modem will store
data about the last connection — or in other words, “train” itself for the last
phone line used. While dialing into a network, the Cordless 56K Modem
will compare the phone line characteristics with the stored data, and if a
match is found, the handshake starts using previous settings. Quick Connect
is convenient if you plan to repeatedly use the Cordless 56K Modem with
the same phone line, for example the phone line in your hotel room.
IMPORTANT! If you plan to use your modem in different
locations, Socket recommends that you disable the Quick
Connect feature.
If you enable Quick Connect but use the modem in
different locations, the connection may take twice as long
to establish because it searches for the previous line
characteristics before trying to connect to the new line.
