Installing and Configuring Communications Software

If your modem came with a communications software package, it is strongly rec-

ommended that you use this software for your modem. It’s default installation

parameters have been specially configured to work with this modem. The Users

Guide for this program can be found inside the modem package. It can be sup-

plied in either soft-bound copy or on CD-ROM (depending on the model you

purchased). Some configurations are packaged without communications software.

Check your packaging to see if communications software is included.

If you wish to use another software package, please be sure that it supports this

modem. Most Software Manufacturers have a listing of supported modems on

their websites or BBS’s. Check these sites to see if this model is supported. If you

are unsure or your brand of software supports only a few modems, try selecting

“Hayes Compatible” or “Standard Modem”. This may work in certain cases.

Some software programs allow manual input of parameters. For the users of these

programs, here is a listing of the Data/Fax/Voice Command Standards supported.

Data:

TIA/EIA-602

Fax:

TIA/EIA-578 for Class 1 Fax

Voice:

TIA IS-101 support for TAD (Telephone Answering Device)

Init String: AT&F&C1&D2W2

TIA IS-101 Commands not supported:

Caller ID

Full Duplex Speakerphone

VoiceView

Note: some programs must be configured to communicate with the mo-

dem on the same COM port and or IRQ setting used by the modem. See

the Installing the Modem section for instructions on how to determine

your COM Port and IRQ settings.
