MT5634ZPX-PCI Quick Start Guide

Introduction

Congratulations

on your purchase of one of the finest internal

data/fax/voice modems available today - the MultiModemZPX™

from Multi-Tech Systems.

Product Description

One Modem, Worldwide Use. The MT5634ZPX-PCI is designed

for global applications with approvals in more than 22 countries.

This means one modem can ship around the world. The global

modem is ideal for businesses with global operations that want to

standardize on one modem and are looking to simplify the ordering

process. Go to www.multitech.com to see a complete list of all the

countries for which this modem has approvals.

The MultiModemZPX-PCI is an internal, half-length, fax modem

card that can be plugged into any PCI slot. Your MultiModemZPX-

PCI incorporates

V.90/K56flex

modem technology, which enables

Internet connections at data rates up to 56 Kbps over standard

telephone lines. V.90/K56flex technology is able to propel data

downstream from the Internet to your computer at speeds of up to

56 Kbps because data is digitally encoded instead of modulated.

Upstream transmission, mostly keystroke and mouse commands

from your computer to the central site, continues to flow at the

conventional data rate of 33.6 Kbps.

Note: Though this modem is capable of 56 Kbps

download performance, line impairments, public telephone

infrastructure, and other external technological factors

currently prevent maximum 56 Kbps connections.

Your MultiModemZPX-PCI offers interactive automatic dialing, as

well as command mode option configuration. You can store two

command line/telephone numbers, of up to 40 characters each, in

the modem’s nonvolatile memory. The modem pulse or tone dials

and recognizes dial tones and busy signals for reliable call-

progress detection. The modem can detect AT&T calling card

tones. It is FCC-Registered for connection to telephone networks

Introduction

without any DataAccess Arrangements (DAAs).

The MultiModemZPX-PCI is a full-featured internal data/fax/voice

modem designed for Pentium computers in Windows Plug and

PlayTM environments.

Installing the Hardware

Installing the MultiModemZPX-PCI requires you to open your

computer. Please consult your computer manual in addition to the

following instructions:

1. Turn off the computer and unplug it. Failure to do so

may result in damage to both the MultiModemZPX-PCI

and the computer. Do not turn on the computer until the

instructions tell you to do so.

2. Remove the cover from the computer as instructed in

the computer manual.

3. Select an empty PCI expansion slot. Remove the

expansion slot cover and save the retaining screw.

4. Before handling the MT5634ZPX-PCI, discharge static

in your body by touching a metal piece of the computer

chassis. Carefully remove the MultiModemZPX-PCI

from its antistatic bag, handling it only by the mounting

bracket and edges. Do not touch the gold-plated

connectors along the bottom edge.

5. Place the MultiModemZPX-PCI directly above the

expansion slot and gently, but firmly, push it into the

connector until the card’s retaining bracket is flush

against the computer chassis.

6. Fasten the retaining bracket to the computer chassis

with the screw saved in step 3.

7. Replace the cover of the computer.

Connecting Your Modem

The MultiModemZPX-PCI communicates over public-switched

telephone network lines. Use the modular telephone cable

provided with the modem to connect the MultiModemZPX-PCI to

your telephone wall jack. If you don’t have a standard modular wall

jack near your computer, install one or have one installed for you

by your telephone company. In the U.S., installation kits and

The MultiModemZPX-PCI offers a voice port which allows you to

connect your adapter to a microphone and speaker. The

messages or for speakerphone use. The speaker can be used for

playing back messages or as a speakerphone.
