The iNtegratioN of modem coNtroller aNd data pumpalgorithms iNto a siNgle RAM-based DSP hardware architecture. These iNtegrated algorithms are stored oN the computer' s hard disk, from which they are dowNloaded iNto the DSP board' s raNdom access memory (RAM). This dowNloadiNg, or "bootiNg" process of the PC-iNstalled software algorithms occurs as part of the computer' s power-up iNitialisatioN process iN less thaN 100 millisecoNds, makiNg it traNspareNt to the user.
