The Global Wizard configuration utility is recommended for computers running in Windows. The
Wizard can configure your modem for a specific country with just a few mouse clicks.
1. Insert the MultiModemII system CD into the CD-ROM drive. The Autorun dialog box
appears.
2. Click Initial Setup and Country Selection. The Global Wizard dialog box appears. Click
Next.
3. The Global Wizard searches for your modem and identifies it. Click Next after your modem is
identified.
4. Select the country in which the modem will be used. Click Next.
5. Review your choice of country. If it is correct, click Next to configure the modem.
6. When the Global Wizard announces that the parameters have been set, click Finish to exit.
If you are comfortable using AT commands, you use them to configure your modem. You must
enter these commands in your communication program's terminal window (a program such as
PhoneTools). Execute the following AT commands:
Type AT+GCI=
nn
(
nn
stands for the country code). Press Enter.
OK displays.
Type AT&F&W to save your country code. Press Enter.
OK displays.
Type ATI5 to verify your country code has been configured.
The country code is then displayed in hexadecimal format as in this example:
Country Hexadecimal Code
Euro/NAM B5
Note: See Multi-Tech's Web site for a list of country codes. Go to

Note: PhoneTools may or may not be included on the MT5600BA/BL system CD according to your
company's preference.
Data communications software gives you access to commands that govern how the modem operates;
that is, how the modem handles incoming and outgoing data streams, etc.
MultiTech includes a data communications software package (PhoneTools) on the product CD shipped
with your modem. In general, the modem will work with most data communications software packages.
1. Insert the MT5600BA/BL system CD into your CD-ROM drive. Allow Autorun to bring up the
introductory screen.
2. Click on the PhoneTools icon and choose the appropriate country/language.
3. Follow the PhoneTools installation wizard. No input is needed. You may choose to view the
“Readme” file and whether or not to run PhoneTools immediately.
Windows NT/2000/XP Note: During installation, an advisory screen may appear saying “FAX
capture driver installation” - this may cause a delay in the installation. This is normal. The
installation process has not failed or stalled. Simply wait a few moments until this screen
disappears.
4. After installation, you can launch PhoneTools either from a desktop icon or from the Start |
Programs menu. Typically, it’s not necessary to reboot before using PhoneTools.
