Windows 2000 Operating System InstallationStep1: Prepare for installation. NOTE: Before you begin, we recommend you uninstall any other modems you have in your system. Refer to your previous modem's documentation for instructions. Write down your new U.S. Robotics modem's serial number, which is located on the white bar code sticker on the modem and on the modem's box. If you ever need to call our Technical Support department, you will need this number to receive assistance. Step 2: Connect the modem to the computer. Shut down your computer and connect the serial modem cable to the modem and the computer. Step 3: Connect the modem to an analogue phone line. Plug one end of the provided phone cord into the jack on the modem and plug the other end into an analogue phone wall jack. WARNING: The phone socket you use must be for an ANALOGUE phone line. Most office phones are wired through DIGITAL lines. Be sure you know what type of line you have. The modem will be damaged if you use a digital phone line. Step 4: Plug in the modem's power supply. Plug the power supply into the jack on the modem and the other end into an electrical outlet. Turn on the modem. The power button (labelled Power I / O on the modem's underside) is located on the side of the modem. NOTE: If the power light does not illuminate, the modem may not be turned on. Make sure the power supply is connected between the modem and the electrical outlet. Step 5: Update the driver from the CD Turn on your computer. The operating system should automatically detect and install your modem. Click Start, select Settings, and click Control Panel. Double-click the System icon. Click the Hardware tab. Click Device Manager. Expand the Modems Key by clicking +. Double-click Standard Modem, then click the Driver tab. Click Update Driver. Click Next. Select Search for a suitable driver for my device. Click Next. Select Specify a location. Click Next. Browse to the CD-ROM where the drivers are located. Click OK. Click Next. A Digital Signature Not Found message will appear. Click Yes. Click Finish to complete the installation. Click Close in the (modem name) Properties window. Click X to close the Device Manager window. Click OK to close the System Properties window. Step 6: Install the communications software. Reinsert the Installation CD into the CD-ROM drive. An interface will appear that will enable you to install ControlCenter, Internet Call Notification, and Phonetools/Winphone software and view User Guides for your modem. (If the interface does not appear automatically, click Windows Start and then click Run. In the Run dialog box, type D:\setup.exe. If your CD-ROM drive uses a different letter, type that letter in place of "D"). |
