The MDMUSRIM informat io n fil e n ow al lo ws t he s electi on of t he 230, 400 bp s DTE
speed from Windows if you have an external I-Modem and a serial card that
supports the 230,400 bps DTE rate. If you use the 230,400 bps speed selection
from Windows without meeting the previous two conditions, your modem will
not function.
Most PCs do not support the 230,400 bps DTE rate. Consult the documentation
that came with your PC or serial inter face card to de termine if the 230,400 bps
DTE rate is supported.
Windows 95/98 users now have the ability to install preset "Profiles” for the
I-Modem using the MDMUSRIM information file. Multiple profiles can be installed
on the same communications port which allows you to change the type of
connection you make with your I-Modem without modifying initialization strings.
For detailed information on installing profiles please see section
Profiles under Windows 95.
The release o f the I -Mode m inclu des a n ew Unim odem driv er for Windows 95 and

Under the General Tab you will see a box to select the modem you want to use for

your connection.
Click the drop down bo x and select one of your I-Modem profiles.
Click OK.

When y ou double click this conn ection the modem will be initialized according to
the profile you selected.
When you have completed your c onnection click the Disconnect button. Your
I-Modem will return to it's factory default settings of the Hardware Flow Control
template and Multilink PPP with Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation.
The initialization string that is used to restore your modem to these settings is
A T&F1*V2=5*D0=0.
Windows views each of these profiles as independent devices. Y ou cannot use two
profiles with two different programs simultaneously.
For example, if you use a fax application in auto answer mode with forced analog
profile, you will not be able to dial out with Dial-Up Networking using the V.120
profile because the fax application already has control of the communications
port.
