“PHONE” on the back of the modem. Follow specific instruc- tions in the FAX/Voice/Speakerphone software on recording and playback of voice prompts.
2.6 Testing Your Modem After Installation
In order to test your modem you should be familiar with your communication software. Load and set up your communication software and enter into “terminal mode.” Make sure that the COM Port and IRQ settings of the modem match the software. Type AT on your terminal screen and press ENTER. You may see “AATT” or nothing on the screen. In either case, the modem should respond with an OK or 0. If it does not, please refer to Section 2.4 for information on COM Ports and IRQ’s or Section 6 for troubleshooting information.
2.7 Using Your Modem
The communication software included with your mo- dem product provides a user friendly interface to access the fax, voice, and data functions of your modem. This software
should be sufficient for all of your communication needs.
There may be times when you need to access the modem manually via modem commands. Read Section 3 for a summary description of the modem command set before manually accessing the modem. You may want to read the software manual first, however, as the software may already provide a user friendly method of accessing the functions you need (i.e. dialing or answering calls).
2.8 Where To Go From Here
You should familiarize yourself with the functions available from the included software by reading its manual. You will be accessing most, if not all, of the modem's functions from this software. You may also use any other commercially available communication software with the modem. Read Section 3 ONLY if you are interested in accessing the modem manually, and not through the included software. Section 4 and 5 contain reference material, and can be skipped. If you have difficulties getting your modem to work, read Section 6, Troubleshooting to find answers to commonly asked questions and problems.
