Section Four

Before You Begin

Before you begin using the Modem, you should configure your communications software to work with the Trumpcard. For specific configuration instructions, refer to the documentation that came with your communications software.

You will likely require the following information:

Communications Port: The Trumpcard is compatible with either Com1, COM2, COM3 or COM4, and is dependant on the enabling software.

Modem Type: Your communications software may have drivers for specific manufacturers of modems. If the Trumpcard is not listed, choose a driver for a Generic AT compatible Modem, or refer to the diskettes provided for Modem script files.

Before you start to dial out, you may want to take a moment to find out the maximum speed of the remote Modem, and whether it supports error correction or not. Knowing this may help you later if you have communications problems.

Enabling The Trumpcard

The Trumpcard Modem, whether singular or part of a multi-function PC Card, has been configured such that it will be recognized and enabled as a Modem when used with a computer running Card and Socket Services, with a Generic Enabler. The Modem will be fully functional, and its configuration will be determined by the settings set for the Generic Enabler. In this mode of operation any other functions provided by the Trumpcard will not be operational. Refer to the Installation Guide accompanying a multi-function Trumpcard for more details on how to operate all functions.

For operating systems that do not support PCMCIA equipped computers, the Trumpcard Modem can still be used by making use of the many Trumpcard enablers provided by Ositech. For a multi-function Trumpcard, refer to the Installation Guide accompanying the PC Card for details on which operating systems are supported. For a Trumpcard Modem only product, refer to the diskettes provided with the Trumpcard.
