Installing your Modem
Before inserting the modem into the computer there are a few things
to examin e on your system. The following is a list of items that you
may want to check prior to installing the card into the computer.
1.
Remove any existing modem and modem drivers from your
computer.
2.
Turn off the power to the computer.
3.
Take off the cover to the computer. If you are not familiar with
this procedure, consult your computer user manual for specific
instructions.
4.
If there is a metallic slot cover plate on the rear of the computer
which is lined up with the P CI slot that you are installing the
modem into please remove it (see the illustration belo w).
5.
Plug the modem firmly into the slot. Be sure the bracket is lined
up properly; then screw the bracket into the computer frame
using the screw you removed from the slot cover plate. Be sure
the gold contacts are seated evenly into the connector.
6.
Now replace the cover to the computer.
Connecting the Telephone Cable;
Insert one end of the
supplied telephone cable into the connector marked LINE on the
metal bracket. The cable should lock into place.
Connecting Telephone set;
You may connect your telephone
set to the jack marked PHONE on the card bracket (optional)
Installing Modem Drivers
IMPORTANT NOTE:
If you have Auto-Run enabled on your
CD-ROM drive, the Communications software will auto start its
setup program. If so, you must exit Setup and install the modem
driver first. We recommend inserting the CD while Windows is
starting to avoid the Auto-Run feature.
