Device Driver Installation and Configuration

Configuring Windows 95

Step 1 After you have installed the modem into your machine, turn on the power and allow the system to boot normally.

Step 2 After Windows 95 loads, it will detect new hardware. The modem will be identified as a “ PCI Card”. Select the option “ Driver from disk provided by hardware manufacturer” and then click the OK button.

Step 3 Windows will prompt you to insert the driver disk. Insert the installation CD-ROM and click OK.

Step 4 Windows will find the drivers and finish the installation process.

Step 5 After Windows has copied the files, a Modem Country Selector screen will prompt you to select a country. The following countries are supported: Canada, Japan, and the United States. Make the proper selection and then click the Set button. Then click OK. The modem will be set to use the PSTN of the country you selected. Click Quit to exit the country select program and then click Yes. (Note: This program will be copied to your default hard drive; generally the C:\ drive; in the root directory. Double-click the FHLOAD.EXE icon to launch the program if you wish to change the country setting at a latter date.)

Step 6 To verify that the modem has been properly installed, go to Start-Settings-Control Panel and double-click the Modems icon. At the Modems Properties screen, click the Diagnostics tab. Highlight the COM Port icon next to the modem and then click the More Info button. The “ ATI” responses should be listed. This shows that the modem has been correctly installed and is functioning.
