2 Installation

Sound Card and Speaker Connections (If you have the Voice Option)

For voice mail or speakerphone applications, use a 3.58mm (9/64-inch) plug male-to-male stereo patch cord to connect the LINE OUT jack on the modem to the LINE IN jack on your sound card. If your sound card does not have a LINE IN jack, use its MIC jack.

This will allow you to hear modem activity whether it is originating or answering a call, or playing a recorded message. If you do not have a sound card, you can plug an amplified speaker into the LINE OUT jack.

Step 3: Install the Modem Driver

If you use Windows 98 or newer, you must install the modem driver. The modem driver tells Windows how to control the modem. Separate procedures follow for the Windows operating systems. If you use a Linux operating system, please see Appendix E for installation instructions. If you use the SCO OpenServer operating system, please see Appendix G.

Installing the Modem Driver in Windows 98/Me/2000/XP

1.Make sure your modem is connected properly, and then turn on your computer. Windows should detect your new modem and open the Install New Modem wizard.

2.Insert the system CD into your CD-ROM drive, and then click OK.

3.Windows installs the modem driver.

4.Click Finish to exit.

Changing the Windows 98/Me COM Port Assignment

Unlike an external modem, the MultiModemZPX contains its own serial port. When Windows detects the MultiModemZPX, it assigns the next available COM port to it. Since COM1 through COM4 are standard serial ports in Windows computers, Windows typically assigns COM5 to the modem’s serial port.

If Windows assigns the modem to a COM port higher than 4, then certain legacy software applications will not recognize the modem. To correct this situation, Multi-Tech Systems provides two additional driver files on the MultiModemZPX CD that may be used to reassign the modem to either COM3 or COM4. To reassign the COM port:

1.Insert the MultiModemZPX CD into your computer’s CD-ROM drive.

2.Click Start Settings Control Panel. Double-click the System icon.

3.Select the Device Manager tab, and double-click the Modem icon.

4.Double-click MT5634ZPX-PCIto go to the Properties dialog box.

5.Select the Driver tab. Click the Update Driver button and follow the Update Device Driver wizard prompts. The wizard requests you to specify the path of the new driver. If you’d like to reassign your modem to COM3, type D:\COM-3\pcicom3.inf, where D: is the drive letter associated with your computer’s CD-ROM drive. If you want to reassign your modem to COM4, type D:\COM- 4\pcicom4.inf and continue with the wizard’s instructions.

6.When the wizard completes its installation, your modem should be reassigned to the new COM port.
