∗∗ IMPORTANT! All x2 products are capable of 56 kbps downloads; however, due to FCC rules

which restrict power output of the service providers' modems, current download speeds are limited to

53 kbps. Actual speeds may vary depending on line conditions. Uploads from users to service

providers travel at speeds up to 33.6 kbps. An x2-capable modem, an x2-compatible analog phone

line and an x2-capable Internet Service Provider are necessary for these high-speed downloads.

WELCOME TO x2TECHNOLOGY INFORMATION ACCESS

Thelatestbreakthroughin

onlinecommunications

Until now, 33.6 kbps was thought to be the

practical limit for speed over standard phone

lines. Now, x2 Technology shatters that

barrier, to bring you high speed downloads. x2

Technology is capable of 56kbps downloads,

but, due to FCC rules which restrict power

output of your service provider’s modems,

current download speeds are limited to 53

kbps. This modem is software upgradable,

allowing easy upgrades to new features and

enhancements as they become available.

Anintegratedend-to-end

solutionfromtheleader

3Com is well positioned to bring you x2

Technology. Our U.S. Robotics 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

3Com to offer x2 Technology to virtually

anyone.

WELCOMETOX2 INFORMATIONACCESS

Takingadvantageofthe

moderntelephonenetwork

x2 Technology takes advantage of the typical

network configuration found when an analog

subscriber connects to a digitally connected

server. x2 can 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.

Read the section of this manual titled “U.S.

Robotics Modem Update Wizard” (page 41)

for information about using this software (on

the Connections™CD) to update your

modem’s code to the latest version.

3Com has already submitted x2 to the ITU-T

standards committee for acceptance as the

next online standard. For more information on
