D-1Issue 1 November 1994 DChanging Modem-to-ModemConnection Data RatesYour modem is capable of communicating with other modems atdata rates of 300, 1200, 2400, 4800. 7200. 9600. 12000, or14400 bits per second (bps). When you place a call to anothermodem, the settings of two AT commands (B and N) and twoS-Registers (S37 and S109) are used to determine the data rateof that connection.S-Register S37 is used to set the maximum allowable data rate.S-Register S109 is used to select all the permitted data rates.The B command is used to select whether the modem isconfigured as a CCITT or BELL modem. The N command isused to select whether the modems may connect only at asingle data rate (N0), or whether the modems may connect at alower data rate (N1).When the N0 command is used, the modems can only connectif the answering modem supports the data rate specified inS-Register S37 of the originating modem (the one which placesthe call). If the answering modem cannot support the data ratespecified by the originating modem, no connection will be made.When the N1 command is used (the default setting from thefactory), the modems will first attempt to connect at the datarate specified by S37. but will fall back to a lower data rate ifrequired by the receiving modem.If you would like to know more about how the modem usesmodulations and data rates, refer to the information on the Band N commands and S-Registers S37 and S109 in Chapter 4.
