- MOUNDS VIEW, MINNESOTA - April 27, 1992 -- Multi-Tech Systems Inc., a
- leading manufacturer of data communications equipment headquartered in
- Mounds View, Minnesota, announces the MultiModemII (model MT1432BL) for
- sync/async operation over 2- or 4-wire leased lines with dial back-up and
- leased line restoration. Implementing the CCITT V.32bis standard, the
- MT1432BL can transmit synchronous streams of data at speeds up to 14.4K
- bps. When used in async mode, the MT1432BL provides V.42 error correction
- for 100% error-free data and V.42bis data compression for effective
- throughputs up to 57.6K bps. For async operation over the dial-up line,
- the MT1432BL also includes a Group 3 fax modem (for 9600 bps fax
- transmissions), MultiExpress data communications software (for dial-in,
- dial-out and remote-control operations), and MultiExpressFax software
- (based on industry standard EIA Class 2 fax modem commands). The MT1432BL
- includes all of the features and speed of the other MultiModemII products,
- with the added support for 4-wire leased line operation. It will be
- available for shipment in May 1992, priced at $999.00.
-
- "For maximum efficiency dedicated line data communications require the
- highest standard speed modems available, like our MT1432BL," states
- Multi-Tech President, Raghu Sharma. "Applications using statistical
- multiplexers, X.25 PADs and other synchronous protocols that run over
- analog telephone lines need the speed of a V.32bis modem. And with its
- dial back-up feature, the MT1432BL can continue data communications even
- if the leased line fails. When the leased line is returned to operation,
- it automatically restores the current datacomm session to leased line
- operation. The MT1432BL will be important for certain international
- markets because a single approved modem can accommodate so many types of
- communications (e.g., fax, sync/async, leased/dial-up, etc.)."
-
- The MT1432BL provides V.32bis synchronous or asynchronous operation over
- dedicated or dial-up networks. It is also downward compatible with other
- modems that operate at 9600 (V.32), 2400 (V.22bis), 1200 (V.22/Bell 212A),
- and 300 bps (V.21/Bell 103). In asynchronous mode, it provides V.42 error
- correction for 100% error free transmissions, and V.42bis data compression
- yielding "4-to-1" compression throughputs up to 57.6K bps (depending on
- file content). UUCP spoofing using MultiTech's own adaptive protocol
- enhancing speeds up batch file transfers within UNIX environments using
- the g protocol. For asynchronous operation over its dial-up line, the
- MT1432BL comes bundled with MultiExpress communications software and
- MultiExpressFax software. Fax transmissions are at 9600/ 4800 bps and
- allow the MT1432BL to send or receive faxes with any Group 3 or Group 2
- fax machine, fax card or fax/data modem in the world. The MT1432BL uses
- industry standard "AT" commands for modem configuration and dialing,
- supports V.25bis for synchronous dialing applications, and has a built-in
- dialing directory for storing up to 10 phone numbers.
-
- The MT1432BL has three RJ11 or modular phone jacks (for dial-up line,
- leased line and telephone) on the rear panel, in addition to an RS232
- serial port for connection to sync or async devices. A complete set of
- LEDs provide easy visual monitoring of the modem's operation. The special
- Error (ERR) LED lights when the leased line is disconnected and the unit
- has gone to dial back-up (the back-up phone number or numbers are preset
- in the modem's non-volatile memory).
-
- Multi-Tech Systems was founded in 1970 to manufacture data communications
- equipment and systems for a global market of network products users. The
- Minnesota-based company is a well-known leader in dial-up modem
- technology. The family of Multi-Tech products includes a complete line of
- 1200, 2400, 4800 9600, and 14.4K bps modems, statistical multiplexers,
- DSU/CSUs, 5250, 3780 and 3270 emulation systems, X.25 PADs, computer fax
- equipment, communications software, and LAN products. These products are
- sold in over 50 countries, through a worldwide network of distributors,
- manufacturer's representatives, system integrators, value-added resellers
- (VARs) and retailers. Multi-Tech Systems Inc. can be contacted at its
- headquarters: 2205 Woodale Drive, Mounds View, Minnesota 55112. Voice
