In fact, Windows ME, Windows XP, and Windows 2000 come from Microsoft with the drivers necessary to run the modem. [. . . ] For Windows ME, Windows 2000, and Windows XP, the operating system will install drivers that are already included with Windows. No additional drivers are required. For other versions of Windows, you will need a driver installation disk. When Windows identifies the new hardware and asks for a driver disk, select `Cancel' to terminate the Windows `new hardware installation' procedure. Windows will stop the installation procedure and boot normally. After Windows has finished startup, insert the diskette included with the modem. From the Start Menu, select `Run' and type "a:\setup. exe". To verify the modem was configured properly, go to the Windows START button, select the SETTINGS option, then select CONTROL PANEL. You should see your new modem listed in the GENERAL tab of the Modem Properties window. Next, click on the DIAGNOSTICS tab of the Modem Properties window. Find your new modem in the list of installed modems and highlight the port the modem has been assigned to. This will show a window with information about your modem and your configuration. Please consult "Section Three: Troubleshooting" if you encounter any difficulties. 2. 5 Testing the Modem To confirm that the modem is working properly after installation, run a modem communication program and set the software for the correct modem COM port. Try connecting to another modem number to ensure the problem is not related to the answering modem. 3. 3 Modem makes a connection but no data appears on your screen. 1. Make sure all communication parameters (baud rate, data, stop, and parity bits) are properly configured and are identical on both sides. Be certain hardware flow control (RTS/CTS - default) is enabled in both the modem and the communication software. The remote system may be waiting to receive your data before it begins. Make sure the correct terminal emulation mode is being used in the software (refer to software manual). 3. 4 Modem experiences errors while on-line with a remote modem. 1. Make sure RTS/CTS hardware flow control is enabled (do not use XON/XOFF software flow control when transferring binary files). Section Four - AT Command Set 4. 1 Executing Commands Your modem is in Command Mode upon power-on and is ready to receive and execute "AT" commands. The modem remains in Command Mode until it makes a connection with a remote modem. 4. 2 AT Commands & Format All commands must begin with the AT prefix, followed by the command letter and ended with the ENTER key. All default settings are printed in bold text. Spaces are allowed in the command string to increase command line readability but are ignored by the modem during command execution. All commands may be typed in either upper or lower case, but not mixed. A command issued without any parameters is considered as specifying the same command with a parameter of "0".
