4.1
SETUP
PROGRAMME
The DOS set up programme should be copied to a suitable hard drive directory on your PC,
the files required are CMP.EXE, DEFAULTS.DAT and RP.CFG. To start the programme open

compatible with older PC programming software. To overcome this, each modem has a
compatibility serial number which is changed at the factory if and when the firmware
changes. If the product and PC software are not compatible, the PC will not read or write to
