Actiontec electronic PCMCIA manual Installing Communcations Software

Installing the	5
Communcations
Software

If the Modem came with a communications software package, Actiontec recom- mends using this software for the Modem. The default installation parameters of the software are specially configured to work with the Modem, and supports both data and fax modes.

To install the communications software on your computer:

1.Insert the CD containing the communications sofware into the computer’s CD-ROM drive.

2a. If using Windows 3.1x, select File, Run, enter the CD-ROM drive letter, followed by setup. The software installs on the computer.

2b. If using Windows 95 or above, double-click My Computer, double-click the CD-ROM icon, then double-click setup.exe. The software installs on

the computer.

If another type of communications software is used, ensure it supports the Modem. Most software manufacturers have a listing of supported modems on their Web sites. If unsure whether the software supports the Modem, select Hayes Compatible or Standard Modem during the setup procedure. Doing this may work in certain cases.

Some types of communications software allow manual input of parameters. If this is the case, see the table below, which contains the data/fax command standards supported:

Data	TIA/EIA-602
Fax	TIA/EIA-578 for Class 1 Fax
Init String	AT&F&C1&D2W2

Note: Some programs must be configured to communicate with the Modem on the same COM port and/or IRQ

setting used by the Modem.
