Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does modem (1200) represent?
-
Modem (1200) historically represents a modem with a data-transfer rate of 1,200 bits per second, often called 1,200 baud, used in early dial-up and low-bandwidth communications.
-
What is T0 (B8ZS payload)?
-
T0 (B8ZS payload) is a raw T-carrier bitstream encoded using Bipolar with 8-Zero Substitution, preserving line coding for telephony and data multiplexing analysis or transport.
-
Why convert from modem (1200) to T0 (B8ZS payload)?
-
Conversion allows translation of legacy low-speed serial modem data to modern digital multiplexed telephony bitstreams, useful for equipment integration and network testing.
Key Terminology
-
Modem (1200)
-
A legacy unit denoting a modem speed of 1,200 bits per second, used for early dial-up and low-bandwidth telecommunications.
-
T0 (B8ZS payload)
-
A raw bitstream of the T-carrier system encoded with Bipolar with 8-Zero Substitution, preserving line coding for telephony/data multiplexing.
-
B8ZS
-
Bipolar with 8-Zero Substitution is a line coding method that replaces sequences of zero bits with bipolar violations to maintain clock synchronization.
