Configuring the MultiModem ZPX-PCI

Windows 95 Plug and Play

Unlike an external modem, the MultiModemZPX-PCI contains its own serial port. When Windows 95 detects the MultiModemZPX-PCI, it assigns the next available COM port number to it. Since COM1 through COM4 are standard serial ports in Windows computers, Windows 95 typically assigns COM5 to the modem’s serial port. Windows 95 also assigns the a port address and interrupt request (IRQ) number. Because the number of IRQs is limited, a computer with several accessories may not have an available IRQ for your new modem. In that case, you may have to decide which of your other accessories you can modify or do without.

Sound Card Considerations

If you want speakerphone functions and the ability to record sound or

.WAV files through the sound card at the same time, you need:

Two stereo PC microphones

One stereo male-to-male patch cord

One sound card and optional speakers

To connect a third party sound card:

1.Obtain a stereo male-to-male patch cord (can be purchased at a local PC retail store).

2.Place one end of a stereo male-to-male patch cord into the LINE OUT jack of the MultiModemZPX-PCI and the other end into the LINE IN jack of the sound card. This allows you to hear the activity of the modem whether it is originating or answering a call or playing a recorded message using the bundled Trio software.

3.Place the stereo microphones (do not use mono microphones) far enough apart from each other to eliminate feedback (e.g., one on each side of the monitor). Feedback occurs if the microphones are too close to each other. Make sure speakers are amplified with power source being either a battery or AC outlet.

4.Place microphone and speakers far enough apart from each other to eliminate feedback. Plug connector of both microphones into the MIC IN jack of the SoundCard and the MultiModemZPX-PCI.
