Selecting the Data Rate
You can select data rates for synchronous and asynchronous transmission
modes. ASMi-31 allows you to select any data rate. If you choose a data rate that
does not conform to the mode to which the modem was set, i.e. a sync data rate
was selected for a modem set to async mode, or vice versa, then the mode
automatically changes to the correct mode.
Examples:
• If the mode is async and you choose a data rate that conforms only to sync
mode, i.e. 128 kbps, then the mode will automatically change to sync mode.
• If the mode is sync, the current data rate conforms only to Sync mode, and
you now try to change the mode to async, then the message "ILLEGAL MODE"
will appear. In such a case, to work in async mode, you must change to a
data rate that can be used for sync/async transmission, or select a baud rate
that conforms only to async mode, i.e. 57.6 or 115.2 kbps.
 To select a data rate:
1. Press the CURSOR button to move the cursor to the Menu Type field.
2. Press the SCROLL button until DTE CONFIG is displayed.
3. Press the CURSOR button to move the cursor to the Menu Options field.
4. Press the SCROLL button until DATARATE is displayed (see
Figure 4-7 ).
5. Press the CURSOR button to move the cursor to the Parameters field.
6. Using the SCROLL button, select appropriate data rate and press the ENTER
button to set your choice.
