HSF
The ConexantTM SmartHSF Host-Processed (SoftK56TM) V.90/K56flex Modem
Device Family with SmartDAA technology supports analogue data up to
56 kbps, analogue fax to 14.4 kbps, telephone answering machine (TAM),
voice/speakerphone (optional), and PCI Bus/MiniPCI/CardBus host interface
operation. These modem devices meet the size and power requirements
of the mobile environment.
The modem operates with PSTN telephone lines in the U.S./Japan/Canada
and optionally world-wide, and with Japanese PDC (Personal Digital
Cellular) phones. Modem and cellular data protocol software is provided.
Conexant's SmartDAA technology (patent pending) eliminates the need
for a costly line transformer, relays, and opto-isolators typically
used in discrete DAA (Data Access Arrangement) implementations. The
SmartDAA architecture also simplifies product implementation by eliminating
the need for country-specific board configurations enabling world-wide
homologation of a single modem board design.
The SmartDAA system-powered DAA operates reliably without drawing
power from the line, unlike line-powered DAAs which operate poorly
when line current is insufficient due to long lines or poor line conditions.
Enhanced features, such as monitoring of local extension status without
going off-hook, are also supported.
Incorporating Conexant’s proprietary Digital Isolation Barrier
(DIB) design (patent pending) and other innovative DAA features, such
as Digital PBX line protection and reporting, the SmartDAA architecture
simplifies application design, minimises layout area, and reduces
component cost.
For over a decade, Conexant has assisted customers with DAA technology
and homologation.
The SmartHSF device set, consisting of a Host Side Device (HSD) in
a 100-pin TQFP and a Line Side Device (LSD) (SmartDAA device) in a
32-pin TQFP, supports data/fax/TAM operation with host software-based
digital signal processing and cell phone/DAA/telephone line interface
functions. The optional Voice Codec (VC), in a 32-pin TQFP, supports
voice/full-duplex speakerphone (FDSP) operation with interfaces to
a microphone, speaker, and telephone handset/headset.

SmartMC™&
AC-Link Modems
Conexant
Offers a Family of AC-Link Modem and Audio/Modems to Support Mobile
and Desktop Applications
Conexant’s SmartMCTM and SmartAMCTM system solutions provide
the lowest system costs, improved time to market and enhanced features
and performance. The product family includes all the necessary hardware
and software (algorithms and drivers) required to support modem-only
or audio/modem solutions. The Conexant AC-Link system solutions
support a wide range of architectures including PCI card or Mini
PCI designs, digital controllers or core logic solutions incorporating
digital audio and modem support.
Motherboard designs include desktop solutions using the advanced
communications riser (ACR), audio modem riser (AMR) or communications
network riser (CNR) connectors, and notebook designs using the mobile
daughter card (MDC) or Mini PCI connector, or custom form factors.
Conexant played an important role in the definition of the AMR and
MDC specifications and has helped define the majority of core logic
solutions introduced on the market.
Motherboard configurations using the ACR, AMR, CNR, MDC or mini
PCI architectures simplify the modem homologation process by allowing
the card to be certified independent of the actual system motherboard
design. These architectures also support the ability to remove all
analogue circuitry from the motherboard, leading to higher-quality
audio and reduced motherboard complexity.
The SmartMC and SmartAMC system solutions meet the PC 99 System
Design Guide specifications, offering significant benefits such
as better overall system performance and standards based power-management
support.
These solutions provide all the features of Conexant’s industry-leading
SoftK56TM software modem. The communications control code for the
SmartMC and SmartAMC are also equivalent to other Conexant modem
products. This common control code allows OEMs that have already
tested the HSF modem with their standard applications to move quickly
into production with the Smart MC and SmartAMC. In addition to standard
modem features, both chipsets offer Caller ID, enabling users to
identify the source of incoming calls. The chipsets also feature
Wake-On-Ring functionality, allowing PCs in a low-power, suspended
state to automatically turn back on after receiving a phone call.
This unique feature enables PCs to receive incoming messages that
they would otherwise miss. Conexant’s modem codec fully supports
Intel’s AC 97 version 2.1 specification, designed to help
PC manufacturers adopt new modem technologies more quickly and cost-effectively.
Conexant collaborated with Intel to develop this specification,
and contributed key modem technology.
Because the modems are software based, they can be upgraded for
value-added features such as standards, simply by downloading the
appropriate drivers.
SmartMC
SmartMC is Conexant’s first product to incorporate our patented
SmartDAATM technology, which enables modems and other communications
devices to be programmed for use on any public phone network worldwide.
The SmartMC modem codec device set supports analogue data communications
at up to 56 kbps, analogue fax at 14.4 kbps, and voice/remote telephone
answering machine (TAM). SmartMC also supports AC-Link (AV 97) operation
for ACR, AMR and CNR interface and MDC and Mini PCI applications.
Enhanced features such as monitoring of local extension status without
going off-hook are also supported. The device set consists of a
host side device (HSD) in a 48-pin TQFP, and a line side device
(LSD) in a 32-pin TQFP.

ModemXpert
Today, most users buy computers primarily so they can connect to the
Internet. More PCs feature internal modems, such as Conexant’s
industry-leading controllerless and software modems, so that users
can go online as soon as they take their systems out of the box.
Going online is usually a painless process, but can be difficult,
especially for novice users. And finding the cause of a problem is
a challenge in itself, since it may lie with the PC, the modem, the
telephone line or the Internet service provider. Users having problems
getting onto the Internet call their PC OEMs for support, which at
£10 to £16 per call, directly subtracts from the OEM’s
bottom line. (In fact, Internet connection problems will account for
an increasing percentage of support calls - and the cost of those
calls continues to rise.) Sufficiently frustrated users may even return
their PCs, resulting in lost sales.
To help your end-users make the most of their Web experience, Conexant
introduces ModemXpert, part of the V.Next family of modem features.
This innovative application helps users troubleshoot any problems
they experience connecting to the Internet with Conexant modems.
An Automatic Assistant
Diagnostic programs are usually designed by third-party companies.
As a result, they are often generic, addressing only the most common
modem features and issues. But ModemXpert was designed by Conexant.
With more than 30 years of modem experience, we are able to anticipate
the kinds of difficulties that your end-users may encounter. In fact,
ModemXpert is the most powerful diagnostic program in the industry
because it is actually part of the modem software driver design. As
a result ModemXpert addresses such common problems and complaints
as, No dial tone, Low throughput, No connects, Dropped connects.
It will also allow for accurate hardware tests prior to a false return
(and the associated costs) of a functional modem. This Windows-based
program is not only comprehensive; it is also easy to use. In fact,
it’s automatic. When ModemXpert detects a connection problem,
it pops up instantly to help users resolve the problem. Furthermore,
the program is intuitive, so it helps even novice users establish
or regain their Internet connections. Giving users the assistance
they need when they need it.
Growing your Bottom Line
Because ModemXpert detects and solves Internet-connection problems
automatically, it reduces the need for users to call you for technical
support. And even if users do decide to call you, this valuable product
can help them describe their problems more accurately to your support
representatives, resulting in faster and more accurate service. In
either case, ModemXpert increases customer satisfaction and helps
you minimise your post-sale support costs. In addition, because satisfied
users are more likely to keep the computers they buy, ModemXpert minimises
returns - in particular, those due to falsely perceived modem malfunctions.
This low-cost solution greatly enhances the value of the modem and,
thus the PC. In the process, it increases customer satisfaction and
builds your bottom line.
