The Intelligent Choice in Information AccessThe Intelligent Choice in Information Access

Congratulations! You have just purchased

the Sportster®56K faxmodem for

Macintosh®computers. Since 1976, U.S.

Robotics has grown to become a key

manufacturer and developer of information

access technology. U.S. Robotics' advanced

technology allows you to use your

faxmodem to open up a new world of

information access. And now you can take

advantage of the highest transfer rates

available today with our new x2 technology!

As an innovator in the data communications

field, U.S. Robotics has a history of bringing

the latest technology to market at an

affordable price.

U.S. Robotics owns the core technology,

known as the data pump, that works in its

access products. This allows U.S. Robotics

to bring new technologies and features to

market faster and at a lower cost while

passing the savings on to you.

Be sure to read the following section to

learn more about the latest U.S. Robotics

breakthrough, x2 technology. Your new

Sportster takes advantage of this technology

to make connecting over analog lines faster

than ever before.

Welcome to x2Welcome to x2 Information AccessInformation Access

The latest breakthrough inThe latest breakthrough in

online communicationsonline communications

Until now, 33.6 Kbps was thought to be the

practical limit for speed over standard phone

lines. Now, U.S. Robotics shatters that

barrier, to bring you download speeds of up

to 56 Kbps. However, due to FCC rules

which restrict power output of your service

provider’s modems, current download

speeds are limited to 53Kbps. This modem

is software upgradable, allowing easy

upgrades to new features and enhancements

when they become available.

An integrated end-to-endAn integrated end-to-end

solution from the leadersolution from the leader

U.S. Robotics is well positioned to bring

you x2 technology. Our Sportster®modems

are the world's number one seller, and our

Total ControlTM and CourierTM product lines

are favored by many Internet service

providers. This widespread acceptance

allows U.S. Robotics to offer x2 technology

to virtually anyone.

Taking advantage of theTaking advantage of the

modern telephone networkmodern telephone network

x2 technology uses the increasingly digital

telephone network to bring you faster

downloads by eliminating the analog-to-

digital conversion in the downstream path.

x2 takes advantage of the typical network

configuration found when an analog

subscriber connects to a digitally connected

server. x2 bypasses the analog-to-digital

conversion in the downstream path to use

nearly all of the available 64K network

bandwidth. (Upstream data, typically less

speed sensitive, travels at the standard V.34

rate.)

The result is a completely new kind of

transmission technique. Based on

“encoding” rather than “modulation,” it can

give you download speeds that you never

thought possible. What’s more, with

standard V.42 bis compression, x2 can

download at speeds up to a blistering 115.2

Kbps.

The new standard for onlineThe new standard for online

speedspeed

U.S. Robotics has already submitted x2

technology to the ITU-T standards

committee for acceptance as the next online

standard.

For more information on U.S. Robotics’ x2

technology, see our World Wide Web page

at http://x2.usr.com.

FeaturesFeatures

Data CommunicationsData Communications

Your new modem will transmit at speeds up

to 33.6Kbps. And with x2 technology, you

can download at speeds up to 56Kbps∗.

This will save you money in online service

charges and long distance bills.

Not only is your modem fast, it is

compatible with internationally accepted

standards which allow you to connect to

other modems across the globe. These

standards include: V.34+, V.32 bis, V.32,

V.22 bis, Bell 212A/V.22, V.23, V.25, and

Bell 103/V.21 modems.

To send data faster and more efficiently,

your modem uses hardware-based

V.42/MNP 2-4 error control and

V.42 bis/MNP 5 data compression.

Fax CapabilityFax Capability

Your modem is compatible with Class 1 or

Class 2.0 fax software included in your

package to exchange faxes with Group III

fax machines worldwide at speeds up to

14.4 kbps.

∗Current FCC rules limit download speeds

to 53Kbps.

InstallationInstallation

Getting StartedGetting Started

Before you begin, make sure that the

following items are at hand:

1. This package: modem, RJ11 (standard)

phone cord, power adapter, serial

connecting cable, this guide.

2. Not with this package: analog (standard)

phone jack.

Install your modem:

1. Turn off your computer.

2. Firmly attach the enclosed serial connecting

cable to both the modem and the port on the

back of your computer marked with a

telephone icon.

3. Connect the power adapter to your modem

and plug it into the wall.

4. Plug one end of the phone cord into the

telephone jack of the modem (labeled with a

wall plug icon on the bottom of the case)

and the other end into the telephone jack.

If you wish to use your modem and phone with

the same telephone wall jack, plug your phone’s

cord into the other available port on the back of

your modem.

Once your modem is connected, you’ll need to

install the MacComCenter software included

with your modem. This allows you to send and

receive faxes, surf the Internet, call an online

service to access e-mail, or call a local bulletin

board (BBS).
