NetWaiting™
For customer convenience, Conexant bundles a modem-on-hold
application called NetWaiting. The NetWaiting applet supports
the following features:
• Intercept MOH events triggered by the modem drivers,
through the API supplied by the modem manufacturer
• If calls are screened, prompt user for a decision when a
incoming call shows up, (with display of the Caller-ID or
friendly name, if present): Accept call and put modem on
hold, or reject call and continue Internet session. If the
session is not a V.92 session, then accepting the call will
automatically terminate the Internet session
• Display of the remaining time before making a decision
on the incoming call (V.92 only)
• Display the on-hold remaining time allotted by the ISP
and let the user either disconnect the Internet connection
or hang up the call and resume the Internet session
• Allow the user to place outgoing calls by putting the
modem on hold if an Internet connection is engaged
• Allow the user to configure the behavior of the applet
through a “Preferences” menu:
- Enable/disable MOH (immediate action)
- Specify per call options: Ignore all incoming calls, Accept
all incoming calls and disconnect Internet connection,
Screen all incoming calls and prompt the user (active at
the next Internet session)
- Ability to edit a friendly name table to display Caller-IDs
in a meaningful way for the user (immediate action)
V.44 – New Data-Compression Protocol
V.44 is a new data-compression protocol that delivers data rates
10 percent through 120 percent faster than those achieved by the
existing V.42 bis compression protocol.
Faster Browsing
The most popular activity on the Internet is browsing, and this is
where V.44 delivers the greatest improvement over V.42 bis, so
users can enjoy speeds up to 120 percent faster than with the older
protocol. Popular sites such as Amazon.com and eBay use highly
compressible HTML files, so online shopping is faster than ever.
V.44 also increases data throughput for email (by 27 percent),
Word documents (by 21 percent), Power Point files (by 10
percent), and C source files (by 45 percent).
Conexant Intelligent Modem Devices Support V.44
All of Conexant’s host-controlled modems support V.44, as do
some of the company’s new controller-based modems.
Because both the client and server modem software require an
update to support V.44, compliance with this standard will vary
by region and service provider.
