## Long description

The StarTech USB56KEMH2 external USB 2.0 fax modem with Conexant CX93010 chipset provides hardware-based dial-up connectivity and fax capabilities for laptops and desktop computers. Supporting ITU-T V.92 and V.90 data standards, the modem delivers up to 56 Kbps downstream and 36.6 Kbps upstream for dial-up internet and up to 14.4 Kbps for fax transmission. The compact, USB-powered design connects directly to a telephone jack and is intended for use as a backup internet connection, for travel, in rural locations or with point-of-sale and credit authorization systems. Certified to regulatory standards and compatible with common desktop operating systems, this modem adds dial-up and fax functionality without requiring an internal modem slot.
Advantages
The USB56KEMH2 uses a Conexant CX93010 controller with on-chip processing to offload modem tasks from the host CPU, preserving system resources while providing reliable dial-up performance. Its USB-powered operation eliminates the need for an external power adapter and the lightweight, compact form factor makes it easy to carry. Hardware support for both data and fax protocols ensures compatibility with legacy services such as dial-up internet, fax servers and POS/CMR devices. Certified to CE, FCC, RoHS, REACH and TAA standards, it is suitable for a range of regulated environments.

How to use
Connect the modem to a computer USB port and attach a standard telephone cable between the modem’s phone port and an active telephone jack. Install the appropriate drivers for your operating system if required; many supported OS versions will recognize the device automatically. Configure your dial-up networking or fax software with the provider or fax line settings, then initiate a connection or send a fax as you would with a built-in modem. For POS or other terminal devices, follow the device manufacturer’s instructions to select the external modem as the communication interface.
Usage recommendations
Use a stable telephone line for the best connection quality; avoid lines with excessive noise. When using the modem as a backup internet connection, disable automatic large downloads and updates to conserve the limited bandwidth of dial-up. Keep drivers up to date and consult StarTech technical documentation for OS-specific installation steps and compatibility notes.
