Install the Modem Driver

Introduction

Compatibility: This MultiMobile MT9234MU MultiModem is compatible with Windows Operating

Systems Vista/XP/2003/2000 and Linux.

Windows Drivers: The MultiMobile MT9234MU driver must be installed in your computer’s program

directory. The Windows drivers are located on the MultiMobile MT9234MU CD in the Drivers I Windows

Drivers folder. A complete set of drivers for each operating system is organized into Vista and XP with

either 32-bit or 64-bit processor. Most users will select either the 32-bit Vista or 32-bit XP drivers

(Windows 2003 also use the XP drivers). Windows 2000 users must select the drivers from the Drivers I

Windows_2000 directory. Server users can select either 32-bit or 64-bit depending on their application.

For server users to determine whether they have a 32-bit or 64-bit operating system, go to Start I All

Programs I Accessories I System Tools I Computer and click on the System Properties button.

Under System you will see System Type: 64-bit Operating System.

When installing the 64-bit version of the Vista driver, a person will have to disable the “signed” driver

check in order to install it. Two methods are available, choose one:

•First Method

Boot your PC, press F8 and choose “Disable driver signature enforcement option”.

•Second Method

•Create a shortcut on the desktop to cmd.exe using the following steps:

•Right click on an empty space on the desktop to open the context menu

•Select New

•Select Shortcut with a left-click

•In the Location box type cmd /k

•Right-click on the shortcut and select Run as administrator

•When the command window opens, type or paste the following and press ENTER:

•Reboot your PC and install the driver

Linux Drivers: Linux Operating System drivers are also located on the CD in the Drivers I Linux

Folder. Refer to the Readme file (also in the Linux directory) for the correct driver file and installation

guide for your distribution/version of Linux.

Overview of Windows Driver Installation: Three install wizards guide you through the software

Installation in this order:

Part A installs the USB Driver.

Part B associates the PC port with the USB Driver, and finally

Part C installs the modem .inf file.
