Businesses like yours find reliable modems essential as the world becomes more wired and more work is done over networks. But when your business counts on being connected, you want more than reliability: Is it easy to use? Will I need a technical staff or consultant to set it up? Whats my total cost of ownership?
As part of the 3Com OfficeConnect family of networking products, designed from the ground up for small and growing businesses, our 56K Business Modem offers features and functions previously found only on more expensive modems:
3Coms exclusive line-probing technology helps your modem sense the "potholes" that can slow down V.90 connections, and tells your provider's equipment how to adjust its signal to avoid them, so you get the fastest downloads possible on each call.
Enhanced V.42 bis data compression packs the most information possible into each transmission, adding even more efficiency. (Compressibility of files may vary.)
During a remote connection, if the line is dropped for any reason, the modem will automatically redial the last number called. So you can set up a virtual leased line between two sites using two OfficeConnect business modems and a regular phone line.
A powerful software wizard makes installing the modem easy. On-screen questions and instructions lead you through the installation procedure. The same wizard makes remote configuration and troubleshooting easy. And if there is a problem you cant handle alone, theres toll-free access to tech support. Support is also available through the Internet, by e-mail and by automated fax-back system.
The OfficeConnect Business Modem checks the 3Com Web site for new features and enhancements every time you go online, and can download the latest code on demand.
The OfficeConnect 56K business modem comes with 3Com Business Connections Ö CD (a suite of business-oriented software) right in the box.
The OfficeConnect 56K business modem is part of the OfficeConnect family of products, which provide small businesses with the power to share information, connect remote locations, and access the Internet. Delivering the advantages of networking to small businesses, the market-leading OfficeConnect system can help small businesses to streamline their operations, effectively manage costly resources, and improve communication within and between offices.
