Si2403
4.8. Error Correction
The ISOmodem® chipset can employ error-correction
(reliable) protocols to ensure error-free delivery of
asynchronous data sent between the host and the
remote end. The Si2403 supports V.42 and MNP2-4
error correction protocols. V.42 (LAPM) is most
commonly used and is enabled by default.
4.9. Wire Mode
Wire mode is used to communicate with standard non-
error correcting modems. When optioned with \N3, the
ISOmodem chipset falls back to wire mode if it fails in
an attempt to negotiate a V.42 or MNP link with the
remote modem. Error correction is not active in wire
mode.
4.10. Caller ID Operation
The ISOmodem chipset supports full type 1 caller ID
detection and decode for the US Bellcore, European
ETSI, UK, and Japanese caller ID protocols. Caller ID is
enabled via the +VCID and +VCDT commands.
4.11. Parallel Phone Detection
This allows the host to avoid interrupting another phone
call when the phone line is already in use and to
intelligently handle an interruption when the Si2403 is
using the phone line.
4.11.1. On-Hook Line-in-Use Detection
When the ISOmodem chipset is sharing the telephone
line with other devices, it is important that it not interrupt
a call in progress. To detect whether another device is
using the shared telephone line, the host can use the
Si2403 to monitor the TIP-RING dc voltage with the
LVCS (Line Voltage and Current Sense) register (U79,
bits 4:0). See Figure 6 on page 19. See also the %Vn
commands for automatic line-in-use detection.
4.11.2. Off-Hook Intrusion Detection
When the ISOmodem chipset is off-hook, an algorithm is
implemented in the Si2403 to automatically monitor the
TIP-RING loop current via the LVCS register. When the
Si2403 is off-hook, the LVCS register switches from
representing the TIP-RING voltage to representing the
TIP-RING current. (See Figure 7 on page 19.) Upon
detecting an intrusion, the Si2403 alerts the host to the
condition via the INT pin.
The ISOmodem chipset is able to detect when another
telephone, modem, or other device is using the phone
line.
