Two Setup Methods: 1) Smart Wizard Setup 2) Manual
Setup
You have two methods available for setting up your modem:
•
Smart Wizard Setup
: Use the Smart Wizard on the CD to assist you with setting up your
modem.
–
This option is the easiest. The Smart Wizard on the CD guides you through the setup
process, automating many of the steps, and verifying that necessary conditions exist and
that steps you perform have been successfully completed.
–
This option requires a PC running Microsoft Windows 98SE or higher.
•
Manual Setup
: Manually set up your modem.
–
This option is best if you are replacing an existing modem or are technically
knowledgeable.
–
Use this option if you are using a computer that does not run Microsoft Windows.
–
The manual setup procedures are documented in this manual.
Use the setup option that best suites you.
