Readme.txt for Ambient CLM modems.
Operating Systems: Windows 95/98, NT4, Win2000
---------------------------------------------------------------
Note:
The CLM driver for Windows 2000 is a BETA version.
Instructions for upgrading the CLM driver from Win98
to Win2000 are found in the section titled:
"Installing the CLM Modem on Windows 2000"
This applies if you have upgraded from Windows 95/98 to 2000
while the CLM 95/98 driver was installed, or if you
have installed a fresh copy of Windows 2000 on a system
with the CLM modem.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Installing the CLM Modem on Windows 95/98:
------------------------------------------
Shut down your computer and install the CLM modem card.
When you restart your computer Windows will recognize the CLM modem as
a new device which needs software drivers installed and will
prompt you to search for a driver for the new device.
You should insert the 'CLM Install Diskette' and press OK.
The Install Wizard will search the diskette and find the drivers
for the modem (Ambient CLM). Select the CLM modem and continue.
Windows will copy the files to their proper directories,
and make several additions to the Window's Registry
to support the CLM modem. When the installation completes, the
CLM Control Panel utility will automatically start to allow you
to change user preferences and the CLM COM port.
If you need to use a DOS-based communications application, then you
must reboot after the installation finishes. The DOS support driver
is loaded at Windows startup time, so it will not be loaded immediately
after the installation process completes. After the first reboot, however,
the driver will be loaded automatically each time that you boot.
=============================
What is added to my system?
=============================
The following files will be copied to your system during the installation:
\Windows\CLMPANEL.EXE - CLM Front panel utility
This applet displays a modem front panel when maximized and
reports the internal status of the modem, including connect
protocols and speeds. If it is running as a tray icon,
then you can hover your mouse pointer over the icon to display
a status tooltip (try this when you're online).
\Windows\CLMRMDEV.EXE - CLM Remove Device utility
This applet is only used at uninstall time to remove the CLM
modem device from the Window's system tree. This application
performs the same function as the following steps:
- Open the Control Panel folder from the Start menu
- Start the 'Modems' wizard
- Select the CLM modem in the list
- Click 'Remove' to remove the device
The CLMRMDEV utility is run as a child process of the
CLM Configuration Utility (CLMcpl.cpl) when the user clicks
'Uninstall' on the Uninstall property page.
\Windows\CLMRMCPL - CLM Remove Control Panel Utility
This utility is used to remove the CLM Control Panel after the
CLM modem has been uninstalled. Note that the CLM Control Panel will not
be removed from the computer until the next time Windows is restarted.
\Windows\System\CLMPORT.VXD - CLM main modem driver
This is the main driver file which contains all of the modem Layer 2
protocol/compression/data flow software and the Windows driver
interface code. It also supports interface calls for
32-bit status applications (like the CLMPANEL applet).
\Windows\System\CLM_DBS.VXD - CLM DOS Box support driver
This driver loads at boot time and redirects direct COM port register
accesses into calls to the VCOMM virtual device driver, which
subsequently calls into our CLM port driver. This enables legacy DOS
comm applications and DOS-based games to work with our 'virtual' port.
\Windows\System\CLMCPL.CPL - CLM Control Panel Utility
This utility acts as the central repository for CLM settings and
user preferences. It is also used to uninstall the CLM drivers
and utilities.
\Windows\INF\MDMCLM.INF
This is a copy of the install information file that tells Windows
about the modem. It is copied to the hard drive during installation
to support UNINSTALL capability for the support applets and
driver files.
\Windows\INF\CLMSERWV.INF
This is a copy of the install information file that tells Windows about
the modem's serial wave device. It is copied to the hard drive during
installation to support UNINSTALL capability for the support applets and
driver files.
Uninstalling the CLM Modem on Windows 95/98:
--------------------------------------------
1) Remove the CLM drivers from Windows
- Open the CLM Control Panel utility.
(Start->Control Panel->CLM Configuration)
- Click on the 'Uninstall' tab to open the uninstall property page.
- Press the 'Uninstall' button.
- Follow the on-screen instructions.
(Optional Step)
2) IF the CLM Configuration Utility is unable to automatically remove
the CLM modem device from the Windows system tree, you must
remove it manually.

- Select the CLM modem in the list box
- Click 'Remove' to remove the modem
- Close the Modems wizard
3) Shut down your computer
- Shut down your system or allow the uninstall process to shutdown for you.
- Turn off your computer.
- Remove the CLM modem card.

Installing the CLM Modem on Windows NT4:
----------------------------------------
NT4 does not provide Plug and Play as Win9x so you need to install
the modem manually. Before you install the modem, make sure you have a free
COM PORT. On the NT system, COM1 and COM2 are reserved by the system.
So if you don't have any additional COM port, you need to add one to install the modem.
To check which COM port is installed, go to the Control Panel and open up Ports.
This will tell you what ports are installed. To add a COM port select
ADD and select the COM port # 3,4,5,6,.. Then select settings and make sure that
the COM port added has 115200 for speed. Under Advanced, select default for the I/O
and Interrupt.
1) Run the setup file on the CDROM to start the installation program.
2) The install wizard will prompt you to add the modem from modem
properties. Select "Add".
3) Check the box that says "Don't detect my modem".
4) Select "Ambient Technologies Inc." as the Manufacturer and
"Ambient CLM Data Fax Voice" as the modem. Then select "Next".
5) Select "Finish" to complete installation.
Uninstalling the CLM Modem on Windows NT4:
-------------------------------------------
1) In the Control panel select "Add/Remove Program".
2) Select "Ambient CLM Data Fax Voice Modem Driver".
3) Select "Add/Remove" to remove the driver.
Installing the CLM Modem on Windows 2000:

1) Go to the Control Panel and select "System".
2) In the Hardware tab, select "Device Manager".
3) Right mouse click on the PCI Simple Communication (yellow question mark) and
select "Properties".
