Scroll through this section of the dialog box until you see the commands and responses displayed below .
29 Installing Comm unications Software If your modem came with a communications software package, it is strongly recom- mended that you use this software for your modem. I ts default installation param- eters have been specially configured to work with this modem.
30 A modem based T elephone Answering Machine works by using a sound car d equipped with a microphone to record an outgoing message. This message is stored as a .wav file which is transferred to the modem by the application program when an incoming call is detected.
31 T roub leshooting This section lists some common problems and offers suggestions for a solution. I t is important to remember that this modem is a Windows-based modem and requires 32bit virtual device drivers. I t therefore cannot work in W indows 3.
32 If either of these conditions are present, correct them. Make a note of the Com port and IR Q the modem is using. If the Device S tatus area shows some error message, it will generally be about a conflict. Go to the Resources tab and read the Conflicting Device List.
33 Step 4: Does Not Install The most likely reason for a non-installation in Windows 95 or 98 is a lack of IR Q resources. The modem needs one IR Q and two I/O addressees in order to function.
34 BIOSs don ’ t allow individual selection of interrupts for ISA, Plug-N-Play , or PCI.) The interrupt settings can be called “ICU”, “ICU/PCI”, “PCI”, or “PNP depending on your BIOS version and manufacturer . Do not set this interrupt to “ISA” only or to “Legacy ISA”.
35 Plug-N-Play settings. These settings can be found within the “ Advanced,” “PNP/ PCI Configuration,” or “Plug-and-Play Configuration ” sections depending on the BIOS Manufacturer .
36 Can’t Connect at 56K N ote: Current FCC regulations limit your maximum connection rate to 53Kbits / s. The number you are calling may not support V .90 or K56flex protocols. Some ISPs (Internet Service Pro vider) have special numbers that you must call to connect to 56K.
37 connection can be established. The telephone company must have you connected to the PSTN (P ublic S witched T elephone N etwork) in a particular way . The modem you are calling must support the same protocol. The phone line must be free of distortion and noise.
38 Step 3 Close all open windows and return to the desktop. On the taskbar , click S tart. On the Start menu, click Find, then click Files or F olders. Search for the files listed below . T ype in the name and extension (e.g. ltwave.inf ) and click the F ind button.
39 At the Advanced settings window , type the following in the Containing text field: V.90 PCI Windows Modem. Click Find N ow . When a file is found, it will have the name oem#.inf. T o delete a file, highlight the file name by clicking once and then choose Delete from the F ile menu.
40 A T Command Set A T Commands A T commands ar e issued to the modem to control the modem ’ s operation and soft- ware configuration. A T commands are commonly entered from a terminal program such as HyperT erminal, and can only be entered while the modem is in command mode.
