Connect the Phone to the Modem (Optional)
For voice-only calls, plug a telephone into the modem’s PHONE jack.
Connect the Modem to the AC Power Outlet
Plug the power transformer into an AC power outlet or power strip. Plug the power transformer’s
cable into the POWER jack on the modem.
Note: Use only the power transformer supplied with the modem. Use of any other transformer
voids the warranty and can damage the modem.
Power-On Test
Test the modem by turning it on (a power switch is located on the front panel). When you apply
power, the modem performs a diagnostic self-test, indicated by the TM indicator lighting for a few
seconds, after which the LCD should light. If this does not happen, check that the power switch is
on, the power transformer is solidly connected, and the AC outlet is live. If these measures do not
work, see the “Troubleshooting” chapter.
If you use Windows 2000+/XP, you must install the modem driver. The drivers are installed easily since
Windows supports Plug-and-Play.
Installing the Modem Driver
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.
Note: If Windows cannot find a modem, your modem may be turned off, it may be plugged
into the wrong connector on your computer, or the serial cable may be faulty. See “None of
the LEDs Light When the Modem Is Turned On” and “The Modem Does Not Respond to
Commands” in the “Troubleshooting” chapter.
2. Insert the MultiModem II CD into your CD-ROM drive, and then click OK.
3. Windows installs and configures the modem.
4. Click Finish to exit.
