Multi-Tech Systems MT9234ZBA Connect Speakers Voice Option, Power-On Test, Windows Installer

Chapter 2 – Installation

Connect Speakers (Voice Option)

For speakerphone or voice mail applications, use a 1/8-inch plug male-to-male stereo patch cord to connect the SPKR jack on the side of the modem to the LINE IN jack on your sound card. If your sound card does not have a LINE IN jack, use its MIC jack. The stereo male-to-male patch cord can be purchased at a local PC retail store.

If you do not have a sound card, you can plug an unamplified speaker directly into the SPKR jack.

Connect the Modem to the AC Power Outlet

The power switch is located on the right side of the modem. Make sure it is set to OFF.

Attach the appropriate interchangeable blade module to the power supply module. Connect the power lead from the power supply module into the PWR jack on the modem. Now, plug the power supply module into your power source.

Note: Use only the power supply supplied with the modem. Use of any other power supply voids the warranty and can damage the modem.

Power-On Test

Test the modem by turning it on. When you turn it on, the modem performs a diagnostic self-test, after which the 56 indicator should light. If this does not happen, check that the power switch is on, the power supply is solidly connected, and the AC outlet is live. If these measures do not work, refer to Chapter 6, “Troubleshooting”.

Step 3: Install the Modem Driver

If you use Windows 2000 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 refer Appendix D. If you use another operating system, please refer to its documentation for modem installation information.
