Power-OnTest
Test the modem by turning it on (a power switch is located on the
front panel). When you turn it on, the modem performs a diagnostic
self-test, indicated by the TM indicator lighting for a few seconds,
after which the LCD should light. If this does not happen, check that
the power switch is on, the transformer module supply is solidly
connected, and the AC outlet is live.
Step 2: Install the Modem Driver
If you use Windows 98/Me/NT/2000/XP, you must install the modem
driver. When operating the modem under Windows, the modem driver
can be installed by using the Plug-and-Play feature. If you use an
operating system that does not support Plug-and-Play, see the User
Guide.

your computer. Windows should detect your new modem and
open the Install New Modem wizard.

“Troubleshooting” chapter of the User Guide.
For Windows NT, the Install New Modem wizard presents one
additional prompt before Step 2. At this prompt, select Don't
