Quick Start Guide

Thank you for purchasing this PCMCIA Fax Modem Card

Installing the Fax Modem Card

You will be installing the modem in the Type II or III PCMCIA slot in your computer. If
you are having trouble locating this slot, refer to your computer’s user manual or consult
the manufacturer of your computer.
Gently slide the PC card into the PCMCIA slot. Make sure the card is firmly seated in the
socket and you are ready to setup and install your communication software.

Setup for DOS/Windows 3.x

Before you can use your new modem, your computer must have the proper modem
software drivers installed to access the modem. Your computer should have the Card and
Socket Services drivers pre-installed. The Card and Socket Services deriver software
allows your computer to access the PCMCIA sockets. If these are not already in your
system, or if you do no know if they are installed, check you system manual or consult
the manufacturer of your computer. The most popular and common Socket and Card
Services are Systemsoft Card Wizard, Phoenix’s PCM and AMI Card Manager Pro 3.0.

If Card and Socket Services drivers are already installed in your computer, you should be
able to simply plug in your fax modem card and begin installed and using the software.
Please be sure the COM part for modem cards which is assigned by the Card and Socket
Services is the same as the setting of your communication software in you computer.
