Windows Installer
Your product CD contains an installer program for current Windows operating
systems (Windows XP and newer only) that should be used before installing your
ZPX card. Should you happen to install your ZPX card before using the installer
program, please follow the directions in the User Guide on the product CD for your
particular version of Windows.
1. Insert the product CD into a compatible drive. Do not install your ZPX
card yet.
2. Click on the Preinstall Windows Drivers button from the main splash
screen of the CD.

3. Click the button that matches your operating system [32-bit or 64-bit].
You can see what type of system you are using from the Control Panel |
System screen.
a. Windows may pop-up a User Account Control window. Select
the YES button to continue with the driver installation.
4. Click on the next button to start the driver pre-installation.
5. You will be prompted to confirm the installation of the necessary drivers.
Click the Install button to continue each time.
6. There will be a transitory screen, then the process will complete. Click on
the Finish button.
7. Your driver installation is complete. You can now physically install your
ZPX card using the next set of instructions.

Installing your MultiModem
Before inserting your ZPX into a PCI slot, please run the Windows Installer program
from your product CD. This makes all Windows operating systems installations
faster than the manual methods described in the User Guide.
1. Turn off your system and unplug it. Failure to do so may result in damage to
both the MultiModem and your system. Do not turn on the system until the
instructions tell you to do so.
2. Remove the cover from your system as instructed in the system manual.
Before handling the ISI Card, discharge any static in your body by touching
a piece of grounded metal such as the computer chassis. Electrostatic
discharge (ESD) is the release of stored static electricity that can damage
electrical circuitry or components. Static electricity is often stored in your
body, and discharged when you come in contact with an object of a different
potential.
Perform the procedure below described in this section only at an ESD
workstation using an antistatic wrist strap. If such a station is not available,
you can provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap
and attaching it to a metal ground screw (lug).
3. If you are installing a MT9234ZPX-PCIe board in a low profile machine, you
will have to change the mounting bracket to the low profile mounting bracket.
Refer to your User Guide for low profile mounting bracket details.
4. Select an empty PCI expansion slot. Remove the expansion slot cover and
save the retaining screw.
5. Before handling the MultiModem, discharge static in your body by touching a
bare piece of metal on the chassis. Carefully remove the MultiModem from its
antistatic bag, handling it only by the mounting bracket and edges. Do not
touch the gold-plated connectors along the bottom edge.
6. Look at the system’s main board to determine either PCI or Express
connector. Place the MultiModem directly above the expansion slot and
gently, but firmly, push it into the connector until the card’s retaining bracket
is flush against the system chassis.
7. Fasten the retaining bracket to the system chassis with the screw saved in
step 4.
8. Replace the system cover.

Making External Connections
Now, connect the MultiModem to the telephone line and, optionally, to your
telephone. For voice mail or speakerphone, you can also connect it to a
microphone and an external speaker, headphone, or sound card. The microphone
can be used for recording answering machine messages or for speakerphone use.
The speaker or headphone can be used for playing back messages or as a
speakerphone.
Line Connection
Plug one end of the provided telephone cable into the modem’s LINE jack, and the
other end into a telephone wall jack. This is the only required connection.
Important: 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: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Industry Canada
impose certain restrictions on equipment connected to public telephone systems.
Configure the Modem for Your Country
Different countries have different requirements for how modems must function.
Therefore, before you use your modem, you must configure it to match the defaults
of the country in which you are using it. The modem is set to country, Euro/NAM,
with a country code of 52 decimal by default. You can use one of two configuration
methods:
●Using the Global Wizard to Configure Your Modem
●Using AT Commands to Configure Your Modem

Using Global Wizard to Configure Your Modem
The Global Wizard configuration utility is recommended for computers running
Windows 2000 or newer.
1. Insert the MultiModem system CD into the CD-ROM drive.
2. When the splash screen appears, click Initial Setup & Country Sel button.
3. Choose either:
a. Run Global Wizard from CD. This will not load the wizard onto your
hard drive, or
b. Install Global Wizard on the HD. This will install the wizard onto your
hard drive for future use.
4. The Global Wizard dialog box appears. Click Next.
5. The Wizard searches for your modem and identifies it. Click Next.
6. Select the country in which the modem will be used. Click Next.
7. Review your choice of country. If it is correct, click Next to configure the
modem.
When Global Wizard announces that the parameters have been set, click Finish to
exit.
Using AT Commands to Configure Your Modem
Non-Windows users can configure the modem using AT commands. You must
enter these commands in your communication program terminal window.
1. Run your favorite communication program and open the program terminal
window.
2. To configure the modem for a specific country:
Type AT%T19,0,nn (where nn is the country code in hexadecimal format
Press ENTER.
The message OK displays.
3. To verify the change:
Type ATI9.
Press ENTER.
The country code is displayed in decimal format, as in this example:
