Introduction
Your 56K PC Card provides downloads up to 56 Kbps when con-
nected to compatible central site equipment. Because it is a dual-
mode fax modem, your PC Card automatically selects the ITU V.90
standard or K56flex when either is available. For other sites you’ll
get fast, reliable data connections at send and receive speeds up to
33.6 Kbps. The PC Card also features fax capability at speeds up to
14.4 Kbps.
This modem conforms to the PC Card (PCMCIA) Type II standard
for personal computer cards. The PC Card is also flash memory up-
gradeable for both controller and digital signal processor (DSP)
code. This means that you can add any future improvements or
features with a simple software download.
When used with fax and data communications software, your PC
Card handles virtually all communications operations, so you can
send and receive faxes and data without having to know the mo-
dem’s commands. However some AT commands are included
should you want to make changes to your software configuration.
6Hayes PC Card™ Installation Guide
What You Need
Make sure that your modem package includes the following items in
addition to this installation guide:
•Your PC Card modem
•A PC Card phone cord
•Fax and data communications software.
To use the modem you need the following additional hardware:
•A computer with a PC Card Type II, Type III, or Toshiba 16mm
slot, a 3.5-inch disk drive for software installation, a minimum of
4 MB RAM (8 MB recommended), and a hard drive with at least
5 MB available
•PC-compatible: 386-20 or faster, running Windows
3.1, 3.11, 95, 98, or NT 4.0
•Macintosh: 68040 or faster, running System 7.1 or
higher
•For software supplied on a CD-ROM disc, a CD drive.
Note: “PCMCIA” and “PC Card” are sometimes used inter-
changeably. “PCMCIA” refers to the Personal Computer
Memory Card International Association, which sets the
standards for add-in memory and communications
cards. It holds the trademark for PC Card, which is what
you call one of these add-in cards.
Setting Up the Fax Modem 7
Setting Up the Fax Modem
Setting up your modem for the first time involves three basic steps,
summarized here and explained in more detail in the following sec-
tions.
•Installing the Modem: Insert the card gently but firmly into the
PC Card slot, connect the phone cord to the modem, and plug
the other end of the phone cord into a telephone jack. Illustrated
instructions are in this chapter.
•Configuring Your Operating System: Turn to the appropriate
section for instructions on Windows 95/98, Windows 3.1/3.11, or
Windows NT installation. Windows 95, 98, and NT have their
own native card and socket software for PC Card installation.
•Installing Your Communications Software: Install and configure
your fax software and data communications software. For help,
refer to the online software documentation. Additional advice on
setting up fax and communications software is available in
Chapter 2 of this manual.
You may also want to test your modem once your communications
software is installed.
After you have set up the modem, you can insert and remove the
modem card as needed. You don’t need to reconfigure your system
each time you insert the PC Card.

Step 1: Installing the Modem
Installing the PC Card modem
11 Turn off the computer, if the computer’s instructions rec-
ommend that you do so before installing a PC Card. Oth-
erwise you do not need to turn the computer off. (If you’re
not sure, it is always safe to turn off the computer first.)
22 With the top of the modem card facing up, insert the mo-
dem into the PC Card Type II, Type III, or Toshiba 16mm
card slot in your computer as shown below.
Note: The actual PC Card slot or slots may be any-
where on your computer or in an external
drive.
33 Push the modem firmly but gently until it is seated inside
the slot and you cannot push it any further.
Setting Up the Fax Modem 9
CAUTION
Align the card very carefully before you
push it all the way into the slot. Other-
wise you may damage the connector
pins.
4
Connect the phone cable to the modem card as shown in
the following illustration. You should feel the connector
snap into place. If necessary, press the side latches on the
connector while installing it. If the cable’s connector still
does not fit easily into the card, turn the connector over
and try again.
Note: To remove the phone cord from the modem,
press the side latches on the connector to re-
lease the lock.
5
Plug the other end of the cable into the modular telephone
jack (receptacle) on your wall.
10 Hayes PC Card™ Installation Guide
If you want to plug both the modem cable and a telephone
cable into one wall jack, you may be able to use a phone
line splitter, which is available anywhere telephone equip-
ment is sold.
6
Turn the computer back on, if you turned it off in Step 1.
When you are finished using the modem, you can leave the PC
Card in the computer or remove it. The PC Card has a power-saving
“sleep” mode to conserve battery power.
For Macintosh users, proceed to Step 3: Installing Your Commu-
nications Software on page 15.
For PC Users, proceed to Step 2: Configuring Your Operating
System.
