If the Modem came with a communications software package, Actiontec recom-
mends using this software for the Modem. The default installation parameters 
of the software are specially configured to work with the Modem, and supports 
both data and fax modes. 

To install the communications software on your computer:

1.  Insert the CD containing the communications sofware into the computer’s 

CD-ROM drive.

2a. If using Windows 3.1x, select File, Run, enter the CD-ROM drive letter, 

followed by 

setup. The software installs on the computer.

2b. If using Windows 95 or above, double-click My Computer, double-click the 

CD-ROM icon, then double-click setup.exe. The software installs on
the computer.

If another type of communications software is used, ensure it supports the 
Modem. Most software manufacturers have a listing of supported modems on 
their Web sites. If unsure whether the software supports the Modem, select Hayes 
Compatible or Standard Modem during the setup procedure. Doing this may 
work in certain cases.

Some types of communications software allow manual input of parameters. 
If this is the case, see the table below, which contains the data/fax command 
standards supported:

Data

TIA/EIA-602

Fax

TIA/EIA-578 for Class 1 Fax

Init String

AT&F&C1&D2W2



Note: Some programs must be configured to communicate 
with the Modem on the same COM port and/or IRQ 

setting used by the Modem.
