and run it from there.

Modem" and "Uninstall Modem". Clicking these buttons will install or uninstall the
D-50 modem software, respectively.
With modem software uninstalled, D-50 functions only as installation CD and USB
flash disk with no modem function.

software, D-50 will function only as a modem and installation CD will become
