Installing your fax/modem
If you have never installed an add-in board in your computer before, please follow the
instructions in this section carefully.
Safety Precautions
1. Turn OFF the computer before you begin. Also, turn OFF any external devices
that are connected to your computer, such as printers.
2. Handle the board gently by the edges. Some of the component leads under the board
have very sharp edges and may cause serious injury.
3. To prevent electrostatic discharge damage to the components on your modem, do not
remove the modem from the static-shielded bag until you have discharged any static
electricity from your body by touching any unpainted surface on the case of your
computer.
Necessary Equipment
Make sure that you have all necessary equipment at hand before you begin.
You should have:
•The Zoltrix Smart Spirit K56 Modem Board
•A Pentium or faster compatible computer with an available PCI expansion slot
•A modular telephone outlet and cable
•A small, flat-blade screwdriver and a small pair of pliers or tweezers
•A telephone set (Optional)
•Shielded PC speakers or headset (required for speaker phone)
•Microphone (required for speakerphone)
Installation Steps
The steps to install your modem are shown in order in this section. For some steps, you may
need to refer to your computer’s User’s Manual.
Selecting the COM Port
The Zoltrix Smart Spirit K56 Modem is PnP and can use COM ports 1 to 4 and IRQ's
2,3,4,5,10,11,12 & 15. This is selected automatically. There are no hardware jumpers or dips
witches to set.
Inserting the Fax/Modem
1. Turn off the power to the computer. Also, turn off any external devices that are attached,
such as a printer and monitor.
2. Take out the mounting screws on the back of you computer. Refer to your computer
manual if you cannot locate them.
3. Remove the computer cover. Refer to your computer manual if you cannot determine
how to remove the cover.
4. Select an empty PCI slot. You may need to remove the metal slot cover first, using a
small screwdriver.
5. Discharge any static electricity in your body by touching any bare metal surface on
the chassis of the computer and remove the modem from the static-shielded bag.

6. Press the board firmly into the slot ensuring that the gold tabs on the fax/modem are
aligned with the connectors in the slot.
7. Insert the screw and tighten slightly. Check to ensure that the telephone jacks in the
back of the modem are unobstructed. If so, then tighten the screw securely.
8. Replace the computer cover.

Installing Telephone Lines
The Fax/Modem has two modular telephone jacks on the back of the modem. You will
need to connect your Fax/Modem to the wall outlet via a modular telephone cord. If your
wall outlet is not a modular type, you can purchase an inexpensive converter at most
electronics or phone stores. It is suggested that you connect your modem to a "dedicated
line". A dedicated line is a regular phone line that does not go through a switchboard,
PBX, etc...
You can also connect a telephone set to your modem, enabling you to use the phone
when the modem is not in use. The modem can also be used as an autodialer with your
telephone set. It is recommended that you use a single line phone outlet (RJ11). However,
you can use a two-line (RJ14) phone line, but the modem will only work on the first line
using the center pair of wires.
To connect the telephone line to the modem follows these steps:
1. Insert one end of the phone line into the jack on the modem labeled Line.
2. Insert the other end of the phone line into the phone jack, (usually located on your wall).
If you wish to use a phone set in conjunction with your modem, please follow these
steps:
1. Insert the line from the phone into the jack labeled Phone.
2. Make sure that the other end of the phone line is connected to the telephone.

Testing
The actual installation of the modem is now complete. Before attempting to use your
modem, you should complete the following steps:
1. Before turning the power back on to the computer, check the telephone connection by
lifting the telephone handset. You should hear a dial tone. If you don’t, check that all
phone cords are firmly connected.
2. Turn the computer power back on. Lift the handset of the telephone again to check for a
dial tone. Once again, you should hear a dial tone.
3. You’ve now completed the hardware installation of your modem. From here, you are
ready to install the communications software. Please refer to the software installation
section for instructions.
4. Once you’ve installed your communications software, test the modem according to the
instructions in either the hardware or software manual.

Common Problems and Their Solutions
Problem: Modem answers incoming calls and then returns to the on-hook condition,
disconnecting the caller.
This occurs most often when connecting to a UNIX system. In most case, the host does not prefer to
see any result or command echo codes. If this is the case, adding E0 Q1 to the modem configuration
string can disable the codes.
Problem: No echo from modem
An I/O address or IRQ conflict normally causes this. Verify that the COMPort is not in use by any
other serial device and if necessary use another COMPort or I/O address setting. Refer to Appendix
A for information on Determining What Serial Ports Are Installed On Your Computer. You may also
need to refer to your computer or I/O card hardware manual.
Problem: The modem dials and appears to complete the connection, but the communications
software does not enter the correct mode. (The screen remains blank.)
There may be an I/O conflict (See the solution for the previous problem, "No echo from modem").
The Result Codes may have been disabled by the software configuration set up. Check if Q1 is in
the configuration or initialization string. If so, change it to Q0.
Your software may require numeric result codes rather than verbal result codes. Use either V0 for
numeric result codes or V1 for verbal result codes in your initialization or configuration string.
Some software requires full extended result codes (ie. CONNECT 33600 instead of CONNECT).
This can be controlled by the Xn command. X0 sends a summarized code (CONNECT) and X4
sends a full extended code (CONNECT 33600).
Problem: The modem does not auto answer.
The auto answer mode is determined by the S0 register. If S0 has been set to 0, the modem will not
answer. Assign another value to S0 by entering the following command S0=n, where n=the number
of rings to occur before the call is answered (ATS0=2, the modem answers after two rings).
Problem: The modem always answers the phone
Set the S0 register to 0. ATS0=0
Problem: The communications software displays, "No Dialtone".
Make sure that your phone cable is working properly and that it is firmly seated to the phone socket
at your phone jack and in the rear panel of the modem.
Problem: A high pitched squeal is emitted from the external speakers..
This phenomenon is "feedback" and occurs when the microphone is pointed at the external
speaker or is close enough to pick up the speaker output. This may be remedied by using a
unidirectional microphone, making sure that it is pointed away and as far from the speaker as
functionally possible. Another option is to use a headset with an attached microphone.
