Introduction

Communications software must be customized, or configured, to make it work with your computer’s serial port and modem, to meet the requirements of the system on the other end of a connection, and to meet your own requirements.

Windows 95® makes configuration easy forWindows 95– compliant communications software. The modem and port are, for the most part, configured automatically when the modem’s drivers are installed in Windows. The communications software then uses the Windows 95–supplied configuration when it dials out.

This chapter will help you make configuration choices specific to the MultiModemZPW-PCI. For help with other configuration choices, please refer to the software’s manual or online Help. Generally, your best course is to accept the software’s default values.

Configuring Communications Software

1.Turn on your computer and run your communications software.

2.Find the dialog box or menu that lets you specify your modem. (In HyperTerminal, select File, Properties, Phone Number; in ProComm Plus for Windows, select Window, Setup, Advanced; and in MultiExpress Terminal for Windows, select Setup, Terminal, Modem.)

3.If you are using legacy software, or if you have more than one modem installed, choose the appropriate model number for the MultiModemZPW-PCI (e.g., Multi-Tech MT5634ZPW- PCI ) from the software’s modem list. If your model number isn’t listed, choose a generic modem of the same speed as yours, i.e., a generic V.34 or 33600 bps modem, and rename it “Multi-Tech MT5634ZPW-PCI”.
