that came with your modem and right-click on UNIMODV.INF (or UNIMODV ,
whichever is displayed) then click Install. Restart your computer to enable the driv-

For Windows NT 4.0 Installation
If you are replacing the current modem in your computer system with this new mo-
dem, be sure to remove all other modem drivers from your operating system. On the
taskbar, click
Start. On the start menu click Settings, then click Control Panel and
double-click the Modems icon. Highlight the modem you wish to remove and click
Remove. Turn off the computer and physically remove the old modem. Do not in-
stall your new modem at this time. Follow the procedures below to help insure a
trouble-free installation. Once you remove the old modem and its drivers from your
system, you will need the old modem driver diskette if you wish to reinstall it at a later
date.
Do not use the Plug-N-Play capabilities of the modem for a Windows NT installa-
tion. Instead, manually set the modems jumpers to COM 2-IRQ 3. (See the “Install-
ing The Modem” section of this manual.) This setting will require that you disable
your computer’s on-board serial port.
To disable COM 2, boot your system and enter your BIOS setup. You can normally
invoke the BIOS setup menu by pressing a key or a combination of keys early in the
start-up process. Some of the common keys are DELETE, F1, F2, CTRL+ALT+S,
CTRL+ALT+ESC. If none of the mentioned key combinations work, please refer to
your computer system manual for instructions on how to invoke the BIOS setup.
(Note: if your system uses a separate I/O Card, use the card’s jumpers to disable a
COM port.) Once inside the BIOS setup, find the menu for integrated peripherals,
locate the COM port settings, then disable COM2 or Comport B. If unsure, please
consult your computer’s user manual. Save these settings before exiting the BIOS Setup.
The computer will then reboot.
You are now ready to install the modem. Proceed to the next section.
