Manually Installing Drivers

If you choose not to use the Windows Installer or have already physically installed your MultiModem ZPX, the following instructions will guide you through the process of installation for the various Windows operating systems. The MultiModem MT9234ZPX ships with drivers for each of the following operating systems: Windows Server® 2008, Windows® 7, Vista, XP, 2003, 2000 Server, 2000 Advanced Server, and Linux. This chapter describes the installation of these drivers. You may need to configure your modem for your country/region, the procedure for doing this is at the end of this chapter.

Installing a device driver modifies your system. For this reason, only the super user (system administrator) is allowed to perform the installation. If you cannot login as administrator, find the person in your organization with this authorization (i.e., password). To begin driver installation, login as administrator. Then proceed with the appropriate installation section in this chapter.

Windows Drivers: The MultiModem MT9234ZPX driver must be installed in your computer’s program directory. The Windows drivers are located on the MultiModem MT9234ZPX CD in the Drivers folder. A complete set of drivers for each operating system is organized into Vista-2008-Win7 and XP-2003 with either 32-bit or 64-bit processor. Most users will select either the 32-bit Vista-2008-Win7 or 32-bit XP-2003 drivers. Server users can select either 32-bit or 64-bit depending on their application. For server users to determine whether they have a 32- bit or 64-bit operating system, go to Start I All Programs I Accessories I System Tools I Computer and click on the System Properties button. Under System you will see System Type: 64-bit Operating System.
