************************************** Product Release Notes Windows 95/98 Installation Driver for 56K HSP K56Flex PnP Internal Modem 56K HSP PCMCIA Modem (Revision 1 and 2) (Using PCtel 388P chipset) ************************************** Device Driver: 7.55 Release s8 Modem Type: ISA PNP Card or PCMCIA Card CPU Type: Intel Pentium CPU technology 166MHz and up AMD-K6 /166 MMX Enhanced Processor and up Cyrix 6x86MX PR200 Processor and up OS Platform: Win 95, Win 95 OSR2, Win 98 Beta 3 Host Signal Processing (HSP) modem is a software based modem technology. It is different from the traditional modem in the way it handles the UART and data pump. Software driver not only takes care of the system interface to the HSP modem but also the UART and data pump by utilizing excess CPU power. The HSP modem is software upgradable for increased performance and new features. BASIC MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENT FOR 56KBPS CONNECTIONS ======================================================= 1. Intel Pentium 166 Mhz and up 2. AMD K6 166 Mmz and up 3. Cyrix 6x86MX PR 200 and up Difference of version 7.55 from version 3.53 ============================================ § Enhance V.90 and K56Flex connection. § Supports Speakerphone. Difference of version 3.53 from version 3.52.02.7 ================================================= Features added and enhancements in this release: § Auto detect CPU type and use corresponding dynamic load .vxd driver for Win95 system § Display (ATI3) Driver type being used (Pentium or MMX) § Auto detect for a-Law/m-Law § Added data calling tone under K56Flex mode § Added power down control (ASIC & Codec) § Added Inactivity Timer § Added China/Korea Country code support § Reduced round trip delay in V.42 mode § Reduced V.34 FIFO delay in data pump § Improved received throughput when transmit speed is lower than receive speed Issues Resolved: § Improved fax compatibility with Bitware 3.30.10 and 3.30.11 § Corrected Supervoice modem detection § Corrected DTR ignore time (S25) § Improved busy tone detection on PBXs in Taiwan Difference of version 3.52.02.7 from version 3.52.02 ==================================================== * Resolve some ISP K56Flex connection which falls back to V.34. * Resolve some ISP problem with EarthLink. * Resolve Livingston (Lucent) K56Flex Server issues. FEATURES ADDED ============== * Support Intel Pentium, Intel MMX, AMD MMX, and Cyrix MMX * Un-installation Utility in the Control Panel. * u-law/a-law auto detection mode. * New Interpolator algorithm used in this version which improve the overall SNR by 1.5dB. Issuses resolve in this issue ============================= * Improved a-law connection speed. * Improved connectivity. * Improved robustness of retrain and rate negotiation sequence. * Improved connectivity with various types of lines EIA3, EIA4, EIA5 Special Note ============ * The line speed connection will be V.34 only if the HSP modem tries to connect to a USR X2 56K modem or x2 ISP modem pool. MEYE Engineering Utilities ========================== Modem EYE utilitis, MEYE.EXE, allows real-time display on the modem and shows the phone line condition activities. Under V.34 connections, you will see a circle constellation. In K56Flex connections, you will see three straight horizontal lines. BitR : Determines the BitRate of the 56K modem BitRate = 32000 + BitR * 2000 bps For example : BitR of 4 represent a BitRate of 44Kbps. Sym : Represents the (Symbol Rate) BAUD rate of the 56K modem. S/N : Signal to noise ratio CPU Load = Determines how much CPU loading this HSP modem uses. uC : UnderRun. Should be Zero. oC : OverRun. Should be Zero CPU TESTED ========== 1. Intel Pentium 166 2.

After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
