Installing Communications Software
If your modem came with a communications software package, it is strongly recom-
mended that you use this software for your modem. Its default installation param-
eters have been specially configured to work with this modem. The Users Guide for
this program can be found in Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format on the installation CD-
ROM.
Some configurations are packaged without communications software. Check your
packaging to see if communications software is included.
If you wish to use another software package, please be sure that it supports this mo-
dem. Most Software Manufacturers have a listing of supported modems on their
websites or BBSs. Check these sites to see if this model is supported. If you are unsure
or your brand of software supports only a few modems, try selecting “Hayes Com-
patible” or “Standard Modem”. This may work in certain cases.
Some software programs allow manual input of parameters. For the users of these
programs, here is a listing of the Data/Fax/Voice Command Standards supported.
Data: TIA/EIA-602
Fax: TIA/EIA-578 for Class 1 Fax
Voice: TIA IS-101 support for TAD (Telephone Answering Device)
Init String: AT&F&C1&D2W2
TIA IS-101 Commands not supported:
Caller ID
Full Duplex Speakerphone
VoiceView
Note: some programs must be configured to communicate with the modem on
the same COM port and or IRQ setting used by the modem. See the “In-
stalling the Modem” for instructions on how to determine your COM port
and IRQ settings.
The Modem’s Voice Features
This modem supports TIA IS-101 commands applicable to a Telephone Answering
Device. In order to take advantage of this feature, you will need a Sound Blaster
®
compatible sound card equipped with an external microphone and external speakers.
A software application which supports these TAD functions (such as the one sup-
plied with the modem) is also required.
