Modem Driver Installation
Computer hardware always comes with a matching driver. Driver is the term used to
refer to the software that allows your hardware device to communicate with the other
components in the computer.
To install the driver:
1. When you boot up your computer after installing the modem, the Found New
Hardware Wizard opens informing you about the new hardware and you need to
install a driver for it. It will ask you if Windows can connect to Windows Update to
search for the driver. Select No, not this time and then click Next.
2. Insert the Utility CD into the CD-ROM drive.
3. The next Found New Hardware Wizard displays the hardware name which is PCI
Simple Communications Controller. It also asks what you want the wizard to do.
Select Install from a list or specific location (Advanced) and then click Next.
4. Specify the location of the driver in the Utility CD and then click Next. This instructs
the wizard to search your CD for the correct driver.
5. In the next screen, click Finish to end the installation. A notification appears at the
bottom of the screen informing you that the hardware is ready to use.
Verify Installation
To verify the modem installation:
1. From your desktop, select Start > Settings > Control Panel. This opens the Control
Panel.
2. Right-click System and then select Open.
3. Click Hardware tab and then click Device Manager. This opens Device Manager
which lists all the devices installed in the computer.
