The V Series Recommendations: Standards for Data Communications over the Telephone Network (Uyless Black Series on Computer Communications)

Data communications professionals and anyone else interested in transmitting data over telephone networks must understand the V Series Recommendations-specifications for defining the transmission of data between computers via the telephone network-to which virtually all of today's modems and multiplexers conform. Now updated for the latest standards-including the binary transfer standard used with fax modems-this accessible "transaction" of the protocols provides insight into physical-level interfaces,voice- and wide-band modem implementations,error control standards,diagnostic procedures,and internetworking.

This easy-to-understand "translation" of the V-Series recommendations for data exchange covers physical-level interfaces, voice-band and wide-band modem implementations, error control standards, diagnostic procedures, and internetworking. This edition covers new and revised standards, including a binary transfer standard, which allows binary files to be sent as easily as faxes through fax modems.
