Chapter 2 - Installation

Step 4: Install the Modem Driver

If you use Windows 95 or above, you must install the modem driver. The modem driver tells Windows how to control the modem. If you use a Linux operating system, please see Appendix D. If you use another operating system, please refer to its documentation for modem installation information.

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 Chapter 7, “Troubleshooting.”

2.Insert the system CD into your CD-ROM drive, and then click OK.

3.Windows installs the modem driver.

4.Click Finish to exit.

For Windows NT, the Install New Modem wizard presents one additional prompt before Step 2. At this prompt, select Don’t detect my modem; I will select it from a list. Then click Next.

A dialog box with a list of manufacturers and a list of modem models appears. Select your modem. Continue with Step 2 above.

Removing an Old Modem Driver

When a new modem replaces another modem, the old modem driver remains in Windows, and the old modem driver is still selected in Windows applications. Though you can change the application connection descriptions one at a time, it is easier to force Windows applications to use the new modem by removing the old modem driver from Windows.

1.Click the Start button, point to Settings, and click Control Panel.

2.Double-click the Modems icon to open the Modems Properties dialog box.

3.In the list box, select the old modem.

4.Click Remove, and then click Close.
