Modem Installation
Step 1: Connect the Modem to Your System
Power off your computer. Place the modem in a convenient location. Connect it to your computer’s serial port,
the telephone line, the leased line, AC power, and to your telephone (optional). See Figure 1 for an illustration
of this setup. Detailed information on each connection appears below the diagram and on the following pages.
Figure 1. Modem connections with V.92 transformer.
CONNECT TO YOUR PC
Plug one end of the serial cable into the RS-232 connector on the modem. Plug the other end into a serial port
connector on your computer, such as COM1 or COM2.
CONNECT TO THE TELEPHONE LINE (DIALUP CONNECTION)
Plug one end of the modular phone cable into the modem’s LINE jack. Plug the other end into a public
switched telephone network (PSTN) wall jack.
CAUTION
The LINE jack is not interchangeable with the PHONE jack. Do not plug the phone into
the LINE jack or the line cable into the PHONE jack.
NOTE
Regulatory agencies may impose certain restrictions on equipment connected to
public telephone systems.

CONNECT THE TWO-WIRE LEASED LINE
Plug one end of a two-wire phone cable into the modem’s LEASED jack. Connect the other end to a leased-line
wall jack or terminals.
CONNECT THE FOUR-WIRE LEASED LINE
Modems with a leased-line jack support the dial backup feature. For dial backup operation, plug one end of
your dialup modular phone cable into the modem’s LINE jack and the other end into a PSTN wall jack. Plug
one end of a two- or four-wire phone cable into the modem’s LEASED jack. Connect the other end to a leased-
line wall jack or terminals.
CONNECT THE MODEM TO THE AC POWER OUTLET
Plug the power transformer into an AC power outlet or power strip. Plug the power transformer’s cable into the
POWER jack on the modem.
NOTE
Use only the power transformer supplied with the modem. Using any other transformer
can damage the modem.
CONNECT THE PHONE TO THE MODEM (OPTIONAL)
For voice-only calls, plug a telephone into the modem’s PHONE jack.
POWER-ONTEST
Test the modem by powering it on via the front-panel power switch. When you apply power, the modem
performs a diagnostic self-test. The TM LED lights for a few seconds, then the LCD lights. If this doesn’t
happen, make sure the power switch is on, the power transformer is solidly connected, and the AC outlet is live.
If these measures don’t work, see Chapter 8 in the User’s Guide.
Step 2: Install the Modem Driver
If you use Windows®98/Me/XP, Windows 2000, or Windows NT®, you must install the modem driver. The
drivers install easily since Windows supports plug-and-play operation.
WINDOWS 98/ME/XP AND WINDOWS 2000
1. Make sure your modem is connected properly, then power on your computer. Windows should detect your
new modem and open the Install New Modem wizard.
NOTE
If Windows can’t find a modem, your modem may be powered off, it may be plugged
into the wrong connector on your computer, or the serial cable may be faulty. See
Sections 8.1 and 8.2 of the User’s Guide.
2. Insert the modem’s system CD into your CD-ROM drive, then click OK.

3. Windows installs and configures the modem.
4. Click Finish to exit.
WINDOWS NT
1. Make sure your modem is connected properly, then power on your computer. Windows should detect your
new modem and open the Install New Modem wizard.
NOTE
If Windows can’t find a modem, your modem may be powered off, it may be plugged
into the wrong connector on your computer, or the serial cable may be faulty. See
Sections 8.1 and 8.2 of the User’s Guide.
2. In the Install New Modem wizard, select Don’t detect my modem; I will select it from a list, then click
Next. A dialog box with a list of manufacturers and a list of modem models appears.
3. Insert the modem’s system CD into your CD-ROM drive, then click OK.
4. A list of modems appears. Select your modem and click Next.
5. Select the port that the modem is connected to, then click Next.
6. Windows installs and configures the modem.
7. Click Finish to exit.
REMOVING AN OLD MODEM DRIVER
When your new modem replaces another modem, the old modem driver remains in Windows, and the old
modem driver is still selected in HyperTerminal and other Windows applications. Though you can change the
application connection descriptions one at a time, it is easier to force Windows applications to use the new
modem by removing the old modem driver from Windows.
1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and click Control Panel.
2. Double-click the Modems icon to open the Modems Properties dialog box.
3. In the list box, select the old modem.
4. Click Remove, then click Close.
5. The next time you dial a HyperTerminal connection, it will select your new modem and ask you to confirm
the selection.

Step 3: Setting Your Country or Region Code
Countries or regions vary in their requirements for how a modem functions. Therefore, you must configure
your modem to match the defaults of your country or region. Choose from any of the three methods:
• Using the LCD panel to set your country or region code.
• Using the global wizard to set your country or region code.
• Using AT commands to set your country or region code.
USING THE LCD PANEL
1. Start at the Status LCD and use ↓to move down the menu tree to the Region Select LCD.
2. Use →to move from the Region Select LCD across the Region Settings Options LCD to the Current
Setting LCD.
3. If the current setting shown is not the one for your region, use the arrow keys to get to the Region Profile
LCD. The question mark represents the question: Is this the region you want? If B5 is the one you want,
press Enter; if it’s not the one you want, use the arrow keys to get to the code you want. The region code
for Japan is 00.
4. When you reach the region code you want, press Enter. You will then see the message Option Set.
5. After setting the region profile, you can cycle the power to the modem (turn the power off, and then back
on again) or use the arrows to move back and up the menu tree to return to the Status LCD.

USING THE GLOBAL WIZARD
We recommend the Global Wizard configuration utility for computers running Windows. The Wizard can
configure your modem for a specific country with just a few mouse clicks.
1. Insert the modem CD into the CD-ROM drive. The Autorun dialog box appears.
2. Click Initial Setup and Country or Region Selection. The Global Wizard dialog box appears. Click Next.
3. The Global Wizard searches for your modem and identifies it. Click Next after your modem is identified.
4. Select the country or region in which the modem will be used. Click Next.
5. Review your choice. If it is correct, click Next to configure the modem.
6. When the Global Wizard announces that the parameters have been set, click Finish to exit.
Region Profile code
for Japan is 00 as

USING AT COMMANDS
If you are comfortable using AT commands, you can use them to configure your modem. You must enter these
commands in your communication program’s terminal window. You can use a communication program such as
PhoneTools.
How to change the country/region code
1. Set and save the country/region code (00) by typing the command AT+GCI=00<CR>.
2. An OK message displays onscreen.
3. The code 00 appears onscreen.
How to verify the code
Type AT +GCI?<CR> or use the command AT+00<CR>.
Step 4: Install PhoneTools
Data communications software gives you access to commands that govern how the modem operates.
The PhoneTools data communications software package is included on the product CD shipped with your
modem. In general, the modem will work with most data communications software packages.
1. Insert the CD into your CD-ROM drive. Allow Autorun to bring up the introductory screen.
2. Click on the PhoneTools icon and choose the appropriate language.
3. Follow the PhoneTools installation wizard. You may choose to view the readme file and whether or not to
run PhoneTools immediately.
NOTE
For Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Windows XP users: During installation, an
advisory screen may appear that reads “FAX capture driver installation.” This may
cause a delay in the installation. This is normal. The installation process has not failed
or stalled. Simply wait a few moments until this screen disappears.
4. After installation, you can launch PhoneTools either from a desktop icon or from the Start|Programs
menu. You do not have to reboot before using PhoneTools.
