n-M- —The Remote Module will connect at 16.8 kbps only.
n-MS —The Remote Module will connect at 16.8 or 14.4
kbps.
n--S —The Remote Module will connect at 14.4 kbps only,
the slowest rate.
NOTE:
In some situations, selection of a slower connect rate may
result in a more reliable connection. The higher the connect rate
you choose, the greater is the possibility of data errors. When a
high number of data errors is detected, your call connection
may be interrupted while the Remote Module attempts to
reconnect. When this happens, you and your caller will hear a
beep followed by a message (called the “retrain” prompt):
Please remain on the line. This call is
experiencing technical difficulties. Your call will
resume momentarily.
After this message, you and your caller will hear a second beep.
The call is restored immediately after the second beep.
NOTE:
If the line problems cause the call to completely disconnect, you
and your caller will hear the following message:
We are (still) experiencing technical difficulties on this
call. We apologize for this inconvenience. If you
initiated this call, please hang up and place your call
again.
