MT2834ZPW Owner’s Manual

Introduction
Communications software must be customized, or configured, to make it
work with your computer’s serial port and modem, to meet the
requirements of the system on the other end of a connection, and to
meet your own requirements.
Windows 95´ makes configuration easy for Windows 95–compliant
communications software. The modem and port are, for the most part,
configured automatically when the modem’s drivers are installed in
Windows. The communications software then uses the Windows 95–
supplied configuration when it dials out. However, “legacy” programs—
those designed for earlier operating systems—still must be configured
individually.
This chapter will help you make configuration choices specific to the
MT2834ZPW. For help with other configuration choices, please refer to
the software’s manual or online Help. Generally, your best course is to
accept the software’s default values.
Configuring Communications Software
1. Turn on your computer and run your communications software.
2. Find the dialog box or menu that lets you specify your modem. (In
HyperTerminal, select File, Properties, Phone Number; in
ProComm Plus for Windows, select Window, Setup, Advanced; and
in MultiExpress Terminal for Windows, select Setup, Terminal,
Modem.)
3. If you are using legacy software, or if you have more than one
modem installed, choose the Multi-Tech MT2834ZPW from the
software’s modem list. If the MT2834ZPW isn’t listed, choose a
generic modem of the same speed as the MT2834ZPW, i.e., a
generic V.34, 28800 or 33600 bps modem, and rename it “Multi-
Tech MT2834ZPW.”
