This 56 Kbps* Plug and Play FAX/Data Modem
connects your computer to all popular high speed
modems available today. The modem incorporates
“K56Plus” (56Kbps)
technology to provide increased
download speeds using regular telephone lines. The
modem incorporates Plug and Play for ease of installation.
This manual describes the hardware installation
procedures for your new modem. Additional information on AT commands and S-registers is provided so
that your system can be customized for a particular
operating environment.
*Note: K56Plus is capable of downloading at 56Kbps.
However, current FCC regulations limit its speeds to
53Kbps.
Section Two - Installation
This section will provide step by step instructions
on how to install your new 56 Kbps FAX/Data modem.
Installation of this modem product is a three-step
process consists of 1) actual hardware installation, 2)
plug and play configuration, and 3) communication
software installation and configuration.
2.1 Unpacking Your Modem
Be certain that you have all the items listed
below. This package contains:
• A modem • A telephone cable
• User's manual • Software for the modem
• Software user's manual
2.2 What You Need
You will need:
1. A phillips-head screw driver
2. A) A Plug and Play enabled Operating System
(e.g., Windows 95),
or
B) A Plug and Play Revision 1.0a compliant PC.
2
Proceed to Section 2.3 now if you have every-
thing required.
If you have neither 2A or 2B above, you have two
options to provide Plug and Play functionality to your
PC.
1. Install Windows 95
or,
2. If running DOS or Windows 3.x, configure the
modem using the included modem driver. Instructions
for installing this driver are included in the text file
called README.1ST on the Windows 95 driver disk.
The README.1ST file can be viewed by loading
it into any wordprocessor or any text editor (i.e. DOS
EDIT, NOTEPAD). It may also be viewed by using the
DOS TYPE command. Refer to your word processor
manual or DOS/Windows references for information
on loading text files.
2.3 Hardware Installation
Installation of this modem requires opening and
manipulating your PC. Exercise caution at all times
when working with AC powered and static-sensitive
equipment. Turn off and unplug your PC before installation. Discharge any static electricity from your body
by touching any bare metal surface of the PC system,
such as its power supply cover.
1. Turn off and unplug your computer from the AC
outlet.
2. Remove your computer's cover (refer to your
computer's owner's manual).
3. Select any available half-card slot, and then re-
move the slot cover (refer to Figure 2-1).

4. Carefully slide the internal modem into the slot
you have chosen, applying even pressure until
the modem is completely seated in the slot.

the slot cover. Make sure the modem is properly
aligned. Store the slot cover for future use.
6. Replace the computer cover and plug in your
computer.
7. Connect the telephone cable from the modem's
LINE connector to the telephone wall jack.
8. Optionally, connect your telephone to the modem's
PHONE connector.
9. Turn your computer on. Your modem is now
installed.
2.4 Hardware Configuration (Plug and Play)
Your modem is configured using the Plug and
Play (PnP) capabilities of your computer. Plug and
Play is a set of specifications that define the ability for
the computer hardware and operating system to automatically configure all compliant devices that are installed, relieving the user of the need to determine
which addresses and interrupts to use for each device.
Consult your PC's owner's manual to determine if it is
PnP Revision 1.0a compliant. You most likely have a
Plug and Play Revision 1.0a compliant system if it was
purchased after June 1994 or if the BIOS is dated after
June 1994.
Proceed to one of the following sections, depending on your system's configuration:
• Section 2.4.1 if you are running Windows
95 (with or without a Plug and Play PC)
• Section 2.4.2 if you are running Windows
3.1x or DOS on a PnP-compliant PC.
• Section 2.4.3 if you are running DOS or
Windows 3.1x on a non-PnP PC.
2.4.1Configuring in Windows 95
The version of Windows 95 you have will determine which set of dialog boxes is presented to you
when installing the modem in Windows 95. Proceed to
one of the following sections, depending on your
Windows 95's diaglog box:
4
• Section 2.4.1.1 when Windows 95 starts for
the first time after card installation, it
detects the modem and it displays the New
Hardware Found dialog box
• Section 2.4.1.2 when Windows 95 starts for
the first time after card installation, it
detects the modem and it displays the
Update Device Driver Wizard.
2.4.1.1 Windows 95 Release 4.00.950
When Windows 95 starts for the first time after
card installation, it detects the modem and displays the
New Hardware Found dialog box.
Under New Hardware Found, when asked to
“Select which driver you want to install for your new
hardware,” click on “Driver from disk provided by
hardware manufacturer.” Click “OK.”
The Install From Disk dialog box now instructs
you to “Insert the manufacturer's installation disk into
the drive selected, and then click OK.” Insert the
modem's driver diskette into the disk drive and type A:\
(or B:\ if inserted in drive B) in the “Copy manufacturer's
files from:” box. Click “OK.”
Windows 95 may request its own installation
disks or CD-ROM for some files. Insert the Windows
95 disks or CD-ROM as required. When all necessary
files are copied, the modem is configured. Windows 95
will assign the modem a COM port and IRQ line.
Proceed to Section 2.5.
2.4.1.2 Windows 95 Release 4.00.950 B
When Windows 95 starts for the first time after
card installation, it detects the modem and displays the
Update Device Driver Wizard.
Insert the driver disk into the disk drive and click
“Next.” Windows will find the driver on the driver disk.
Click “Finish. Windows 95 may request its own installation disks or CD for some files. Insert the Windows 95
disks or CD as required. When all necessary files are
copied, the modem is configured. Windows 95 will
assign the modem a COM port and IRQ line. Proceed
to Section 2.5.

2.4.2Configuring in a Plug and Play System with-
out Windows 95
When this modem is installed in a Plug and Play
system without Windows 95, the computer's BIOS will
assign a COM port and IRQ line to the modem.
Proceed to Section 2.5, Software Installation/
Configuration.
2.4.3Configuring in a Non-Plug and Play System
Computers without native Plug and Play capabilities require the use of the included modem driver. If
you have not already installed this driver, refer to the
file README.1ST on the Windows 95 driver disk for
installation and configuration instructions. Once the
driver is installed the modem is enabled and configured during system boot-up. The COM port and IRQ
settings that are assigned to the modem will be displayed on the screen as the driver is loaded.
If the PC is running Windows 3.1x, configure
Windows to properly recognize these modem settings
by opening PROGRAM MANAGER|MAIN|CONTROL
PANEL, click on PORTS and follow Windows 3.1x
user's manual instructions on configuring the installed
modem COM port.
Proceed to Section 2.5, Software Installation/
Configuration.
2.5 Software Installation and Configuration
You are now ready to install and configure the
communication software. Refer to your software manual
for installation procedures.
We suggest the following communication parameters when you first use your data communication
software. Consult the software manual for information
on using these and other parameters/features.
57,600 bps; 8 data bits; no parity; 1 stop bit;
RTS/CTS flow control set to “on;” initialization
string: AT&F
We suggest that a “Generic Class 1” modem
type should be selected in your fax software.
