Introduction
Congratulations! You have purchased a powerful, flexible tool that
will help you manage your communications, work more efficiently,
and present a polished and professional image at home or at the
office.
The Zoom ComStar SVD faxmodem supports SVD (Simultaneous
Voice and Data) operation, implemented with Rockwell
International’s AudioSpan™ and compatible with V.61 and V.34Q
(proposed).
This product includes high-speed PC-based data and fax
capability, full-duplex speakerphone, digital answering machine,
and multiuser voicemail. It contains hardware compatible with
VoiceView™ alternating voice and data, Distinctive Ring and
Caller ID services. ComStar SVD is “Plug and Play” (PnP)
compatible and software configurable, so installation is fast and
easy.
This manual is primarily an installation, troubleshooting, and
reference guide. Once you have successfully installed the modem
in your IBM PC-compatible computer, software controls virtually
all access to the fax, data, speakerphone, voicemail, and other
product features.
While many data communications features can be controlled using
AT commands and S registers, there is rarely any reason to do
so
.
The software shipped with this product allows you to change
your modem’s configuration and to control the communications
features easily
.
Summaries of AT commands and S registers have
been included in this manual primarily for programmers and in the
interest of tradition and completeness. The use of AT commands
and S registers is neither required nor recommended for the
average user.
This owner’s manual is organized as follows:
Introduction (this section) lists the items you will need to use the
modem.
Installation (Chapter 1) explains how to install the modem.
Using the Faxmodem (Chapter 2) provides tips for setting up
your software.
