Error Control Mode. Determines the type of error control used by the modem. In most cases, V42/MNPorBfr
is the best choice. If V.42bis and MNP are enabled, then the modem uses the following priority for error
control negotiation: V.42bis, V.42, MNP 5 and below. Online changes do not take effect until a disconnect
occurs.

Buffer Mode
Modem does not use error control and allows the DTE rate to differ from the communications line
rate. This mode should only be used if the DTE provides its own error control or if errors in data can
be tolerated. This setting is also known as Normal mode and is valid even if the remote modem is
set to Direct mode.

be tolerated. This setting is also known as Normal mode and is valid even if the remote modem is
set to Direct mode.
H
Direct Mode
Modem connects at a data rate equal to or less than the initial DTE interface rate. (The modem
never connects at a data rate greater than the initial DTE rate.) If the modem connects at a data
rate lower than the DTE rate, the DTE must then adjust its data rate to equal the modem rate.
Ultimately, the modem speed and DTE speed must be the same. Direct mode does not support
error control or data buffering.

LAPM or Disconnect
Modem attempts to connect in LAPM mode. If this fails, the modem disconnects.
H
LAPM or Buffer
Modem attempts to connect in LAPM mode. If this fails, the modem connects in Buffer mode.
NOTE: The modem must be reconfigured for Direct mode before changing the leased-line modulation if
V.42 error control or Buffer mode are enabled with V.32bis or TMp on leased lines.
