Configuring the MultiModem ZPX-PCI
Windows 95 Plug and Play
Unlike an external modem, the MultiModemZPX-PCI contains its own
serial port. When Windows 95 detects the MultiModemZPX-PCI, it
assigns the next available COM port number to it. Since COM1
through COM4 are standard serial ports in Windows computers,
Windows 95 typically assigns COM5 to the modems serial port.
Windows 95 also assigns the a port address and interrupt request (IRQ)
number. Because the number of IRQs is limited, a computer with
several accessories may not have an available IRQ for your new
modem. In that case, you may have to decide which of your other
accessories you can modify or do without.
Sound Card Considerations
If you want speakerphone functions and the ability to record sound or
.WAV files through the sound card at the same time, you need:
Two stereo PC microphones
One stereo male-to-male patch cord
One sound card and optional speakers
To connect a third party sound card:
1. Obtain a stereo male-to-male patch cord (can be purchased at a
local PC retail store).
2. Place one end of a stereo male-to-male patch cord into the LINE
OUT jack of the MultiModemZPX-PCI and the other end into the
LINE IN jack of the sound card. This allows you to hear the
activity of the modem whether it is originating or answering a call
or playing a recorded message using the bundled Trio software.
3. Place the stereo microphones (do not use mono microphones) far
enough apart from each other to eliminate feedback (e.g., one on
each side of the monitor). Feedback occurs if the microphones are
too close to each other. Make sure speakers are amplified with
power source being either a battery or AC outlet.
4. Place microphone and speakers far enough apart from each other
to eliminate feedback. Plug connector of both microphones into
the MIC IN jack of the SoundCard and the MultiModemZPX-PCI.
