Rockwell 80-2008234-3 Modem Isa V1414H-R Pn 85543998 Fccid

Product Description

The Rockwell 80-2008234-3 is an internal modem card designed for installation in personal computers via an ISA (Industry Standard Architecture) expansion slot. This specific model appears to be a variant or revision of the V1414H-R, a known Rockwell modem series. The presence of part number 85543998 and FCC ID H8N1414H-R1 indicates that this card is identical in core specifications and regulatory approval to other V1414H-R models, suggesting it adheres to the same communication standards and hardware design. The ISA interface means this modem is compatible with older PC architectures that utilized this bus standard. Installation would involve placing the card into an available ISA slot and configuring its hardware resources, such as IRQ and I/O addresses, to ensure proper operation within the computer system. The V. prefix in V1414H-R typically denotes compliance with ITU-T modem standards, likely supporting speeds up to 14.4 Kbps, common for this era. This modem card's primary function is to facilitate data and fax communications over standard telephone lines. It achieves this by modulating digital data from the computer into analog signals for transmission and demodulating incoming analog signals back into digital data. This capability was essential for users to access the internet via dial-up, connect to remote networks, and send/receive fax documents before the widespread availability of broadband technologies.
