FORVAL MODEMS
Super High-Speed,
Internal / External, Dial-up Modems
For IBM PC / Compatibles
Forval's full-duplex IM / SA series of dial-up modems are quality
engineered for super high-speeds. The IM14400 (Internal) at 14.4 kbps
and the SA14400 (External) at 14.4 kbps are versatile full duplex
V.32bis / V.42bis modems for personal computers with industry-standard
speeds of 14400 / 12000 / 9600 / 4800 / 2400 / 1200 / 300 bps.
These models offer data compression for throughput up to FOUR TIMES
FASTER than the base speed and advanced error correction for exceptional
accuracy.
The IM Series is designed to expand its capabilities as your needs
change. With the exclusive " FORVAL-LINK (tm) software, upgrades can be
made in a matter of minutes over the phone line.
With FORVAL, you have the MODEM-With-A-Future!
FEATURES:
-14.4 bps ( New V.32bis CCITT standard ) Fully compatible with all
other brand v.32bis modems.
-l9.2 bps Proprietary mode ( IM19200 / SA19200 models only. ) This code
will be changed to be fully compatible with the CCITT standard when
approved for 19.2 Kbps.
* Super high speeds - up to 57.6 Kbps with data compression
* All standard dial-up speeds- complies with both CCITT and Bell
standards. Compatible with all major modems.
* FORVAL LINK (tm) upgrades - download new features, speeds and
capabilities over the phone.
* FORVAL TURBO INTERFACE (tm) provides absolute data integrity between
your PC and the IM14400 at all speeds.
* Compatible with the Hayes (tm) "AT" command set and a wide range of
communications software.
* Built in self-test and diagnostics
* The SA14400 has an LCD display providing complete insight into modem
operations. Can be positioned horizontally or vertically.
* 5 year warranty ( one of the few manufacturers that offer this )
INFORMATION:
The IM14400 / SA14400 modems comply with the V.32bis standard for
data transmission, V.42 error correction and V.42.bis, the newest
data compression standard. By combining the latest industry standards
with intelligent engineering, the asynchronous IM14400 / SA14400
deliver data at an impressive base speed of 14,400 bps. And the
V.42bis provides a 4:1 data compression ratio with speeds exceeding
57.6Kbps-transmitting over six times faster than 9600 bps modems.
COMPATIBILITY:
When connecting with slower modems, the IM14400/SA14400 modems offer
excellent compatibility and high data performance over a broad range
of transmission speeds. Equipped with automatic step-down via CCITT
standards, the IM14400/SA14400 ensure data transference at the highest
levels of speed, compression and error correction possible.
For custom modem configurations, the IM14400/SA14400 feature user-
selectable options for setting speed rates, data compression levels
and error handling methods.
SOPHISTICATED ERROR CORRECTION AND HANDLING:
When exchanging critical data at accelerated speeds, accuracy is
imperative. With the IM14400/SA14400 modems, sophisticated error
correction and data handling capability, data integrity is preserved
under the worst line conditions. The built-in Turbo Interface on the
IM14400 provides absolute data integrity at all speeds along with
full flow control of remote modems. The SA14400 modem has the optional
Turbo Interface Card that can be purchased to provide the same reliability
as the Internal modem.
