CONFIGURING YOUR MULTIMEDIA MODEM PLUS FOR WINDOWS

NOTE: If you are upgrading from the Multimedia Modem or have any other Mwave software installed in your computer, you must remove the old Mwave software to avoid conflicts with the new Mwave software. The setup program that is part of your installation package should be used to remove the old Multimedia Modem Mwave software from your hard disk drive.

NOTE: You must run the CONFIG.EXE program after running Setup or your Multimedia Modem Plus will not operate properly. Your mouse does not work when you are running the CONFIG.EXE program. Use the arrow > and tab keys to move the cursor.

The configuration program CONFIG.EXE analyzes your operating system to determine and resolve any conflicts with the Multimedia Modem Plus. For most computers you can choose the Automatic Setup and Test option and the configuration program selects the correct settings.

For known conflicts and solutions, see "Troubleshooting."

To configure the Multimedia Modem Plus for Windows operating systems:

1. Do one of the following:

In Windows 95, select SHUTDOWN from the start menu, then select RESTART THE

COMPUTER IN DOS MODE, and click on YES. In Windows 3.x, exit Windows.

2. At the DOS prompt, change to directory C:\DSP2\SOLO.

If you did not install the Mwave software in C:\DSP2\SOLO, change to the appropriate directory.

3. At the directory prompt, type CONFIG and press ENTER.

4. Select OK to enter the CONFIG.EXE program.

5. Select AUTOMATIC SETUP AND TEST and press ENTER. After tests are complete, press ENTER to continue.

NOTE: If you connected your CD-ROM to the Multimedia Modem Plus, you must complete the CD-ROM information fields in the Setup window. For more information about these fields, see "Manually Configuring Your Multimedia Modem Plus for

Windows."

If the CONFIG.EXE program appears to hang your computer while testing the DSP DMA channel or the SB DMA channel, restart your computer. The CONFIG.EXE program stores the DMA channel conflict that occurred and avoids reselecting the DMA channel that caused the device conflict. Start the CONFIG.EXE program again and reselect the Automatic Setup and Test option.

6. If the automatic setup was successful, select EXIT to end the configuration program.

Record the configuration information. You will it if you plan to install the Multimedia Modem Plus under both OS/2 Warp and Windows in the same computer.

7. Answer yes to the questions about updating your system files when you are prompted by the program.

8. Shutdown and restart Windows or Windows 95.

Page 10 of 47

9. If a conflict was found:

a. Identify the conflict. Refer to the documentation that comes with your computer and your

devices to find a setting that you can use for the Multimedia Modem Plus. For example, for COM port or IRQ conflicts, check your computer manual to find an unused COM port and IRQ pair.

b. After resolving the conflict, continue with “Manually Configuring Your Multimedia Modem

Plus for Windows."

MANUALLY CONFIGURING YOUR MULTIMEDIA MODEM PLUS FOR WINDOWS

Page 14 of 47

CONFIGURING YOUR MULTIMEDIA MODEM PLUS FOR OS/2 WARP

The configuration program CONFIGO.EXE is used to configure the Multimedia Modem Plus.

To configure the Multimedia Modem Plus for OS/2 Warp:

1. Open a DOS full screen session from the OS/2 Desktop.

2. At the command prompt, type:

CD\DSP2\MWOS2\BIN then press ENTER. If you installed your software in a different directory, change to that directory.

3. To start the OS/2 configuration program, type CONFIGO at the command prompt and press ENTER. Select OK using the ENTER key.

Use the ARROW > and TAB keys to move the cursor. Your mouse does not work when you are running the CONFIGO.EXE program.

4. The CONFIGO.EXE program displays the default values to be used by your Multimedia Modem Plus. a. If you have Microsoft Windows installed, you need to make your OS/2 configuration

settings match the Windows configuration settings determined by the CONFIG.EXE program. The Windows configuration settings are the settings you recorded when you configured your computer under Windows.

b. If you do not have Windows installed you might have to change the default settings. If

you connected a CD-ROM to your modem you need to change the CD-ROM TYPE and BASE I/O ADDRESS fields. If a CD-ROM base I/O address is part of your CD-ROM driver statement in the OS/2 CONFIG.SYS file, make sure the CONFIGO CD-ROM Base I/O Address in the list of settings matches the address in the CONFIG.SYS file. Use an editor, such as the OS/2 System Editor to open your CONFIG.SYS file and check the address.

c. If you are aware of a COM port, IRQ, or Base I/O address conflict then check the list of

valid settings that you recorded for the Multimedia Modem Plus. If you are not aware of any conflicts, select EXIT and go to 6.

5. To change settings, select Setup and press ENTER.

Use the TAB key to highlight the setting you want to change. Press ENTER and choose a value using the up and down arrow keys. Press ENTER to accept the new value. When you finish changing the settings, select OK. Then select EXIT to end the CONFIGO.EXE program. Accept the changes and select YES to update the operating system files.

6. When the configuration for OS/2 is complete, remove the diskette, shutdown and restart your computer. NOTE: You must restart your computer when you change configuration settings using the CONFIGO.EXE program.
