You must know the model number and firmware version of your modem to know
whether or not you should upgrade it.
1. Run your favorite terminal program. You can use HyperTerminal for
Windows 98, Me, 2000 or Windows NT.
2. In the program’s terminal window, type
AT&F
. Even if you cannot see the
AT&F
command on your screen, be sure to type it completely, and then press
Enter. If the modem does not respond with
OK
, repeat the
AT&F
command.
3. Now type
ATI3
and record your results. The firmware version should appear
first in the response, which should look
similar
to the following:
V2.300G-V90_2M_DLS
