- * DATA RATE CONVERSION: You#
- can set your computer's serial#
- port to operate at a specific data#
- rate ( say 19,200 bps ) and the#
- modem will perform a data rate#
- conversion for whatever speed#
- modem you call. That means no#
- more software problems with auto-#
- matic baud rate detection. #
- * BOTTOM PANEL REFERENCE: On#
- the bottom of the Courier case,#
- you'll find a command summary and#
- other handy reference information,#
- as well as the bank of Dual In-#
- Line Package (DIP) switches used#
- to tailor operations to your#
- requirements. #
- * CALL DURATION REPORTING: #
- The Courier HST records the#
- duration of your calls in hours,#
- minutes, and seconds. This feature#
- enables you to display and print#
- an audit of your calling activi-#
- ties. You can optionally use the#
- modem clock as a real-time clock.#
- * CALL PROGRESS DETECTION: #
- The Courier HST has additional#
- callprogress result codes (screen#
- messages) that let you know when#
- a line is busy, a person rather#
- than a modem has answered the#
- phone, there is no dial tone, or#
- the distant phone is ringing. #
- * MODEM SETTINGS DISPLAY: #
- On command, the modem sends a#
- display of its current settings,#
- a handy way to check your trans-#
- mission rate, S-registers, and#
- other operational controls. #
- * HELP SCREENS: You can also#
- display screens that summarize the#
- command set, S-register functions,#
- and Dial command options. #
- * REPEAT COMMAND: You can#
- have the modem continuously repeat#
- a command until instructed other-#
- wise. This is especially usefule#
- in dialing services whose lines#
- are often busy. #
- * QUOTE MODE: You can put the#
- modem in Quote Mode. #
- * ADAPTIVE DIALING: You can#
- set the Courier HST so that it#
- automatically uses touch - tone#
- dialing. If tone dialing doesn't#
- work on the line, the modem auto-#
- matically switches to the slower#
- type, pulse (rotary). #
- * DATA RATE FALLBACK: In#
- addition to automatically ad-#
- justing to the bit rate of in-#
- coming calls (0-300, 1200, 2400#
- bits per second, or bps), the#
- Courier HST incorporates the#
- V.22bis fallback recommendation#
- when dialing. If the called modem#
- operates at 1200 bps, the Courier#
- HST automatically drops back to#
- 1200 bps. #
- * AUTOMATIC RETRAINING: The#
- Courier HST observes the V.22bis#
- retrain sequence, which enables#
- modems communicating at 2400 bps#
- to compensate for certain problems#
- that may affect data reliability. #
