2.3.1 External Modem Installation
Installation of this modem requires familiarity
5
with your computer's serial port. This is usually a
25-pin or 9-pin male connector on the back of your
computer, but computer equipment varies. Consult
the computer's manual on this topic. You will also
need a properly configured serial cable. The
recommended cable for IBM Compatible PCs with a
9-pins serial port is an RS-232 cable with all 9-pins
configured straight-through. For computers with a
25-pin serial port, use an IBM AT type (25-pins to
9-pins) RS-232 serial cable. For Macintosh Plus or
newer computers, use only a high speed RS-232
serial cable that supports hardware flow control
signals.
Note: Exercise caution when working with
any AC-powered device. Always turn the
power off when connecting or
disconnecting cables to or from the device.
1. Turn your computer off.
2. Plug the male end of the RS-232 modem cable
into the connector marked RS-232C on the back
of the modem (refer to Figure 2-2).
Figure 2-2 Modem Back

Figure 2-3 RS-232 and Telephone
Connections
3. Plug the other end of the cable into the serial
port on your computer (refer to Figure 2-3).
4. Turn the modem's power switch off. Plug the
round end of the power cord into the connector
marked POWER on the back of the modem.
5. Plug the transformer end of the power adapter
into an AC wall outlet.
6. Plug one end of the telephone cable (included)
into the connector marked TO LINE on the back
of the modem.
7. Plug the other end of the telephone cable into a
modular telephone wall jack.
8 . Turn the modem on. The LEDs come on
momentarily as the modem performs its self-
test. The LEDs then go off except for TR, and
MR.
9. Turn your computer on. Your modem is now
installed.
2.3.2 Front Panel LEDs

2.4 Hardware Configuration (Plug and Play)
Your modem is configured using the Plug and
Play (PnP) capabilities of your computer. Plug and
Play is a set of specifications that define the ability
for the computer hardware and operating system to
automatically configure all compliant devices that
are installed, relieving the user of the need to
determine which addresses and interrupts to use
for each device. Consult your PC's owner's manual
to determine if it is PnP Revision 1.0a compliant.
You most likely have a Plug and Play Revision 1.0a
8
compliant system if it was purchased after June
1994 or if the BIOS is dated after June 1994.
Proceed to one of the following sections,
depending on your system's configuration:
•Section 2.4.1 if you are running Windows
95 (with or without a Plug and Play PC)
•Section 2.4.2 if you are running Windows
3.1x or DOS on a PnP-compliant PC.
•Section 2.4.3 if you are running DOS or
Windows 3.1x on a non-PnP PC.
2.4.1 Configuring in Windows 95
The version of Windows 95 you have will
determine which set of dialog boxes is presented to
you when installing the modem in Windows 95.
Proceed to one of the following sections, depending
on your Windows 95's diaglog box:
•Section 2.4.1.1 when Windows 95 starts for
the first time after card installation, it detects
the modem and it displays the New
Hardware Found dialog box
•Section 2.4.1.2 when Windows 95 starts for
the first time after card installation, it detects
the modem and it displays the Update
Device Driver Wizard.
2.4.1.1 Windows 95 Release 4.00.950
When Windows 95 starts for the first time after
card installation, it detects the modem and displays
the New Hardware Found dialog box.
Under New Hardware Found, when asked to
"Select which driver you want to install for your new
hardware,"click on "Driver from disk provided by
hardware manufacturer. "Click OK."
The Install From Disk dialog box now instructs
you to "insert the manufacturer's installation disk
into the drive selected, and then click OK. "Insert
9
the modem's driver diskette into the disk drive and
type A:\ (or B:\ if inserted in drive B) in the "Copy
manufacturer's files from:"box. Click "OK."
Windows 95 may request its own installation
disks or CD-ROM for some files. Insert the
Windows 95 disks or CD-ROM as required. When
all necessary files are copied, the modem is
configured. Windows 95 will assign the modem a
COM port and IRQ line. Proceed to Section 2.5.
2.4.1.2 Windows 95 Release 4.00.950 B
When Windows 95 starts for the first time after
card installation, it detects the modem and displays
the Update Device Driver Wizard.
Insert the driver disk into the disk drive and click
"Next." Windows will find the driver on the driver
disk. Click "Finish." Windows 95 may request its
own installation disks or CD for some files. Insert
the Windows 95 disks or CD as required.
Windows will now find a second device on the
modem. Make sure that the driver disk is still in the
disk drive and click "Next." Windows will find the
second driver. Click "Finish" to complete the
installation.
When all necessary files are copied, the modem
is configured. Windows 95 will assign the modem a
COM port and IRQ line. Proceed to Section 2.5.
2.4.2 Configuring in a Plug and Play System
without Windows 95
When this modem is installed in a Plug and Play
system without Windows 95, the computer's BIOS
will assign a COM port and IRQ line to the modem.
Proceed to Section 2.5, Software
Installation/Configuration.
2.4.3 Configuring in a Non-Plug and Play
10
System
Computers without native Plug and Play
capabilities require the use of the included modem
driver. If you have not already installed this driver,
refer to the file README.1ST on the Windows 95
driver disk for installation and configuration
instructions. Once the driver is installed the modem
is enabled and configured during system boot-up.
The COM port and IRQ settings that are assigned
to the modem will be displayed on the screen as
the driver is loaded.
Configure Windows 3.1x to properly recognize
these modem settings by opening PROGRAM
MANAGER|MAIN|CONTROL PANEL, click on
PORTS and follow Windows 3.1x user's manual
instructions on configuring the installed modem
COM port.
Proceed to Section 2.5, Software
Installation/Configuration.
