****ALL MODEMS****
1. Using the Help File for DIAGNOSE.EXE
DIAGNOSE.EXE allows you to easily collect information about your computer and
any inserted PC Cards. The information is then used to verify that your
system is running correctly, or to fix any problems.
To use DIAGNOSE, enter DIAGNOSE and any of the following flags you want to use
with it at the DOS prompt.
The correct format is as follows: DIAGNOSE /A /D=directory /L /M /? filename
All flags are optional.
The flags are as follows:
/A Print all information without any user interaction
/D=directory Send or receive files to the specified directory
/L Test LAN functionality even if not running under DOS
/M Print in monochrome
/? Print out this list of available flags
filename Save the program results in the specified file
When you enter the DIAGNOSE statement at the DOS prompt, a screen will appear
that explains a little about DIAGNOSE, how to get the results, and where the
results of this session are being stored. Press any key to go to the main
menu, where you can select the information you want to see.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Decompressing the Compressed Files on the Megahertz Diskette
Occasionally you may need to use a file on the Megahertz Installation and
Registration Diskette that was not decompressed during Setup. To do this,
follow these steps:
1. Insert the diskette into the floppy drive
2. Change to the DOS directory (C:\DOS) on your hard drive
3. At the DOS prompt, enter
EXPAND sourcefile destinationfile
For example, C:>A:\RCK-V34.TXT C:\DOS\RCK-V34.TXT
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. If No Configurations are Found During Setup
Setup can configure your PC Card only if Card Services is functioning correctly
and resources (e.g., IO ports, memory windows, IRQs) are available. When these
two requirements are met, Setup's Express Mode can automatically determine a
configuration for you. Additionally, Setup's Custom Mode will allow you to
try configurations until you find one that works.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Disabling IBM Internal Modems
If you are using an IBM Thinkpad 755CSE or other IBM computer that has an
internal modem, you must disable it in order to use your PC Card. To do this,
follow these steps:
1. Load Windows
2. Open the IBM Thinkpad Setup Group
3. Open the DSP Icon
4. Remove the check from the Telephony Function
5. Save
6. Reboot the computer
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Computer PCMCIA Settings and Resources
Following is a list of machines that contain nonstandard IRQs, along with
the recommended resources.

8. Faxing
The recommended fax class for your XJ4288 and CC4288 modem is fax class 1.
If you experience faxing problems when using the AST910 with FaxWorks
communications software, we suggest you try a different fax software package.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
****CELLULAR MODEMS ****
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9. Cellular Cable Installation Procedure
Always connect the cables in the following order:
1. Insert the modem into the computer.
2. Be sure your computer is powered up.
3. Initialize the modem in the computer.
4. Enter your communications software package.
5. Connect the Megahertz cellular phone cable to the phone. The
phone's power should be off.
6. Connect the other end of the cellular cable to the modem. You
will hear three ascending tones in rapid succession, indicating
that the Cable Sensor recognizes the cable and the modem is
configured for the phone.
7. Turn the cellular phone on. If you have a digital cellular phone,
switch it to analog mode (refer to your phone's user manual for
instructions on how to do this).
The phone is now ready to use.
If the Cable Sensor does not recognize the modem, the message
"Unrecognized Cable Attached" will appear if you are in terminal mode.
Ensure you are using the correct Megahertz cable for that modem, and
the correct cellular drivers are flashed on the modem.
** WARNING **
Connecting a non-Megahertz cable may damage the modem or the cellular phone.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10. Connecting to the Internet over Cellular with XJ4288 or CC4288
It is highly recommended that you connect to your Internet provider using a
landline connection. Most Internet providers are not set up to support and
maintain a cellular connection.
If you need to connect to an Internet provider with a cellular phone system,
contact your local carrier to see if they provide a cellular modem pool.
If so, follow your carrier's instructions for connecting with the modem pool.
Contact your Internet provider through the modem pool.
If not, carefully follow the recommended procedures to connect your cellular
phone to the modem.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11. Dialing Using a Cellular Phone That Requires a PIN Number
To dial a cellular phone that has pin number fraud protection, use the following
dial string:
ATDT<phone#>,,,,!<pin#>
where <phone#> is the phone number to dial, and <pin#> is the
cellular phone fraud pin number. The comma (,) indicates a pause. The number
of commas used may vary with different cellular sites. The exclamation point
(!) performs the same function as pressing the Send key on the cellular phone.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12. Cellular Factory Defaults
&F0 factory default for non-cellular
&F1 set modem to MNP 10-EC cellular enhancement
If you are calling with a cellular phone or calling another modem with a
cellular phone, &F1 is recommended for both modems. Use &F0 if both modems
are using a landline phone line.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
13. Cellular Faxing
Faxes containing 5 or fewer pages usually arrive clean and easy to read.
Because of the inconsistencies in the cellular environment, larger faxes
increase the chances of transmission errors or incomplete transactions
occurring.
If you experience faxing problems, try resending your fax.
If that fails, you may want to use different fax software.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
14. Cabling Recommendations
It is recommended that you never connect both a cellular cable and a landline
phone cable at the same time.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
15. Dialing While Roaming
The way you dial may differ from city to city, state to state, or province to
province. Refer to the literature provided with your cellular phone or contact
your cellular phone provider for dialing instructions.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Download Driver Pack
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.
