Installing in Windows 95

Only certain versions of Windows 95 (OSR2.1, Revision C) offer support for USB peripherals. If you are unsure if your Windows 95 system supports USB, a free USB evaluation utility is available from the Shopping Bag page at http://www.usb.org/shopping_bag.html. Down-load the utility (287K) and run the .exe application to determine if you have USB support.

If you would like to install your MTA128ST-USB in Windows 95, do the following:

1.Power up your Windows 95 system.

2.Turn on your MTA128ST-USB. The LS (Power) LED will light.

3.Plug the “D-shaped” end (Type B) of your USB cable into the USB connector on the back of the unit (See Figure 2-3).

4.Windows will detect that the new modem is present and launch the Update Device Driver Wizard. Click Next > to proceed with the installation.

5.Windows searches for the driver on A:\ and, when identified, will display the driver name for verification. Click Finish to install the driver.

6.Windows prompts you to insert a diskette. Insert it and click OK to continue. The Copy Files ...

dialog box is displayed. In the Copy files from field, type A:\Win95_98 and click OK.

7.When the driver is installed, a completion message will appear and the wizard will exit. At this time your installation is complete.

Note: At some point, you may need to change the modem descriptor. Follow the procedure described in Changing the Modem Descriptor (Windows 98).

Removing Your Old Device from Windows 2000 and Windows 98/ 95

When your new MTA128ST-USB replaces another terminal adapter, the old installation remains in Windows 2000 and Windows 98/95 after you install the new device, and the old device is still selected in HyperTerminal and other Windows 2000 and Windows 98/95 applications. Although you can change the application connection descriptions one at a time, it is easier to force Windows applications to use the new device by removing the old modem from Windows.

1.Click Start Settings Control Panel.

2.For Windows 98/95 users, double-click the Modems icon to display the Modems Properties dialog box.

For Windows 2000 users, click the Phone and Modem icon to display the Phone and Modem Options dialog box, then click the Modems tab.

3.In the list box, select (highlight) the device to be deleted.

4.Click Remove and then click Close to remove the device from your system.

5.The next time you dial a HyperTerminal connection, it will select your new device and ask you to confirm the selection.
