MT5634ZPW-PCI 34
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.
This chapter will help you make configuration choices specific to the
MultiModemZPW-PCI. 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 appropriate model number
for the MultiModemZPW-PCI (e.g., Multi-Tech MT5634ZPW-
PCI ) from the software’s modem list. If your model number
isn’t listed, choose a generic modem of the same speed as
yours, i.e., a generic V.34 or 33600 bps modem, and
rename it “Multi-Tech MT5634ZPW-PCI”.
