Introduction

Congratulations on the purchase of your Comet 336P Type II PCMCIA card - one of
ZyXEL's premier high-performance products. The Comet is world renown for its ability
to maintain ultra high speeds and clear, quality connections while communicating
around the globe.

Unpacking Your Modem

Before you proceed, check all items you received with your modem against this list to
make sure nothing is missing. The complete package should include:

• 

One Comet 336P

• 

One detachable interface connector with RJ-11 cable and plug.

• 

One FAX & Data Communication software package.

• 

One RJ-11 plug to phone jack converter.

• 

One INF file disk for Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.x.

Hardware Overview

The Comet is an intelligent high-speed fax /modem. The modem can be used as both a
send/receive fax machine and a data modem. When connecting to another modem/fax,
the modem automatically negotiates the fastest speed  possible. The PC Card
FAX/MODEM is designed to work with most of the popular fax/modem
communication software packages. Some  software packages will control and configure
the fax/modem for you automatically, however, they are usually only useful to those
who need the modem to perform special tasks. AT commands can also be used to
control the fax/modem manually.

Required Equipment

Make sure you have the additional equipment below before proceeding with
Installation:

• 

A computer with PCMCIA type II slot.

• 

PCMCIA Socket Service and Card Service drivers. (These drivers are usually
included with the computer. If not, check with your computer dealer.)

• 

A telephone line with RJ-11 Jack.

• 

Data and/or Fax communication software.
