If the Modem came with a communications software package, Actiontec recom-
mends using this software for the Modem. The default installation parameters
of the software are specially congured to work with the Modem, and supports
both data and fax modes.
To install the communications software on your computer:
1. Insert the CD containing the communications sofware into the computer’s
CD-ROM drive.
2a. If using Windows 3.1x, select File, Run, enter the CD-ROM drive letter,
followed by setup. The software installs on the computer.
2b. If using Windows 95 or above, double-click My Computer, double-click the
CD-ROM icon, then double-click setup.exe. The software installs on
the computer.
If another type of communications software is used, ensure it supports the
Modem. Most software manufacturers have a listing of supported modems on
their Web sites. If unsure whether the software supports the Modem, select Hayes
Compatible or Standard Modem during the setup procedure. Doing this may
work in certain cases.
Some types of communications software allow manual input of parameters.
If this is the case, see the table below, which contains the data/fax command
standards supported:
Data TIA/EIA-602
Fax TIA/EIA-578 for Class 1 Fax
Init String AT&F&C1&D2W2
Note: Some programs must be congured to communicate
with the Modem on the same COM port and/or IRQ
setting used by the Modem.
