Configuring Communications Software

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 for Windows 95 compliant communications software. The modem and port, for the most part, are 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.

However, nonPnP systems as well as legacy programs—those designed for earlier operating systems(nonPnP)—must be configured individually.

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

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

2.Locate the dialog box or menu that allows you to specify your modem.

In HyperTerminal, select File, Properties, and then Phone Number.

In ProComm Plus for Windows, select Window, Setup, and then Advanced.

In MultiExpress Terminal for Windows, select Setup, Terminal, and then Modem.)

3.If you are using legacy software or if you have more than one modem installed, choose the appropriate model number for the modem (e.g., Multi-Tech MT5634ZPX-PCI) from the software’s modem list. If your model number isn’t listed, choose a generic modem of the same speed as yours, e.g., a generic V.34 or 33600 bps modem and rename it Multi-Tech MT5634ZPX-PCI.
