Chapter 1 – Description and Specifications
ProductDescription
The Multi-Tech MultiModem ZPX is an internal universal PCI bus card, MT9234ZPX-UPCI or a PCI Express bus card, MT9234ZPX-PCIE. The UPCI card operates in either 3.3 or 5V slot. The PCI Express card operates in a 3.3V slot.
The MultiModem provides high-speed data transfer and fax capabilities for small businesses, telecommuters, and SOHO users. It is compatible with the IUT-T V.92 protocol that provides quick connections, downstream transmissions at speeds up to 56K bps*, and upstream transmissions speeds up to 48K bps when connected to V.92-compatible Internet service providers. Transmissions between the MultiModem and other client modems are limited to 33.6K bps, as are upstream transmissions to non-V.92-compatible ISPs and downstream transmissions that are converted more than once on the telephone network.
* Though this modem is capable of 56K bps download performance, line impairments, public telephone infrastructure, and other external technological factors currently prevent maximum 56K bps connections.

Chapter 2 - Installation
PhysicallyInstallingyourMultiModem
Installing the MultiModem requires you to open your system. Please consult your system manual in
addition to the following instructions.
Turn off your system and unplug it. Failure to do so may result in damage to both the MultiModem and your
system. Do not turn on the system until the instructions tell you to do so.
Remove the cover from your system as instructed in the system manual.
Before handling the MultiModem ZPX, discharge any static in your body by touching a piece of grounded metal such as the computer chassis. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the release of stored static electricity that can damage electrical circuitry or components discharged when you come in contact with an object of a different potential.
. Static electricity is often stored in your body, and
Perform the procedure below described in this section only at an ESD workstation using an antistatic wrist
strap. If such a station is not available, you can provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a metal ground screw (lug).
If you are installing a MT9234ZPX-PCIe board in a low profile machine, you will need to change the
mounting bracket to the low profile mounting bracket.
Select an empty PCI expansion slot. Remove the expansion slot cover and save the retaining screw.
Before handling the MultiModem, discharge static in your body by touching a piece of bare metal on the
chassis. Carefully remove the MultiModem from its antistatic bag, handling it only by the mounting bracket and edges. Do not touch the gold-plated connectors along the bottom edge.
Look at the system’s main board to determine either PCI or Express connector. Place the MultiModem
directly above the expansion slot and gently, but firmly, push it into the connector until the card’s retaining bracket is flush against the system chassis.
Fasten the retaining bracket to the system chassis with the screw saved in step 4.
Replace the system cover.

MaketheExternalConnections
Now connect the MultiModem to the telephone line and, optionally, to your telephone. For voice mail or speakerphone use, you can also connect it to a microphone and an external speaker, headphone, or sound card. The microphone can be used for recording answering machine messages or for speakerphone use. The speaker or headphone can be used for playing back messages or as a speakerphone.

Note: The LINE jack is not interchangeable with the PHONE jack. Do not plug the phone into the LINE jack or the
line cable into the PHONE jack.
Note: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Industry Canada impose certain restrictions on
equipment connected to public telephone systems.
PhoneConnection(Optional)
If you wish to connect a telephone to the same line as the modem, plug it into the modem’s PHONE jack.
Note: The PHONE jack is not interchangeable with the LINE jack. Do not plug the phone into the LINE jack or the
line cable into the PHONE jack.
Microphone/HeadphoneConnection(Optional)
For voice mail or speakerphone applications, plug an unamplified microphone into the MIC jack. The microphone and headphone should have a stereo 3.58mm (9/64-inch) mini plug. Do not use a monophonic microphone.
Sound Card and Speaker Connections (If you have the Voice Option) For voice mail or speakerphone applications, use a 3.58mm (9/64-inch) plug male-to-male stereo patch cord to connect the LINE OUT jack on the modem to the LINE IN jack on your sound card. If your sound card does not have a LINE IN jack, use its MIC jack.
This will allow you to hear modem activity whether it is originating or answering a call, or playing a recorded message. If you do not have a sound card, you can plug an amplified speaker into the LINE OUT jack.

ManuallyInstallingDrivers
If you choose not to use the Windows Installer or have already physically installed your MultiModem ZPX, the following instructions will guide you through the process of installation for the various Windows operating systems. The MultiModem MT9234ZPX ships with drivers for each of the following operating systems: Windows Server 2008, Windows installation of these drivers. You may need to configure your modem for your country/region, the procedure for doing this is at the end of this chapter.
Installing a device driver modifies your system. For this reason, only the super user (system administrator) is allowed to perform the installation. If you cannot login as administrator, find the person in your organization with this authorization (i.e., password). To begin driver installation, login as administrator. Then proceed with the appropriate installation section in this chapter.

DriverInstallationforWindows7
If you did not use the pre-installer for Windows, this is the process for installing your modem.
The following driver installation procedure is based on Windows 7 32-bit Operating System. The Windows 7 64-bit Operating System installs in the same manner. Windows 7 operates differently than the older Microsoft Operating Systems when it is installing drivers, in that it goes out to Internet Windows Update site and searches for the device driver as soon as it detects a new device. This is done in the background so you don’t even see it is happening. When it does not detect the driver for the new device, it returns control to you. This is represented in the display of the desk top. In order to get the install going you have to bring up Control Panel.
Card Driver Installation
This wizard installs the files for the MultiModem ZPX.
1. Power up your computer. Windows 7 goes out to Microsoft Windows Update and searches for the device
driver for the product it detected during the boot up sequence.
2. Go to Start | Control Panel | System and Security | System and click on Device Manager.
