restrictions on equipment connected to public telephone
systems. See the Appendix in the MT5634ZBA-USB

factors. Not having a digital signature does not affect

Step 4: Country Configuration with Global Wizard
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. You can use one of two
configuration methods:
•Using the Global Wizard to Configure Your Modem
•Using AT Commands to Configure Your Modem (see
the User Guide)

Using AT Commands to Configure Your Modem
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 (a program such as Phone Tools). To use AT
Commands, see the User Guide for details.
Step 5: Install Data Communications Software
Data communications software is designed to send and
receive messages. Multi-Tech includes Phone Tools
communications software with your modem. However, the
modem will work with most data communications software.
To install Phone Tools, insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive;
click the Phone Tools icon. You will be asked to choose your
language. The software automatically loads onto your PC.
