1. If You Receive the Message "Com Port is Unavailable" During
Setup
If you are installing your modem on a laptop that uses a
Databook controller and you insert the modem before you boot
the computer, the message "Com Port is Unavailable" will
appear. If this happens, do not run Setup, but run the DOS
Point Enabler instead (see the Modem User Reference).
Some laptops that have databook controllers are:
Ambra Subnote
AMS Soundpro
AMS Travelpro
Austin 486
Canon Innovabook 10
Canon Innovabook 100
Epson Action Note 4000
Midwest Micro Elite
Sharp 3010
Sharp 8650
Sharp 8700
Sharp 8900
Twinhead Subnote
Unisys
--------------------------------------------------------------
2. Using the Diagnostic Software
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
switches you want to use with it at the DOS prompt.
The correct format is as follows:
DIAGNOSE /A /D=directory /L /M /? filename
All switches are optional.
The switches 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 DIAGNOSE at the DOS prompt, a screen will appear
that explains what DIAGNOSE is, how to get the results, and
where the results of this session are being stored. Press any
key to go to the main DIAGNOSE menu, where you can select the
information you need.
---------------------------------------------------------------
3. 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:
A. Load Windows
B. Open the IBM Thinkpad Setup Group
C. Open the DSP Icon
D. Remove the check from the Telephony Function
E. Save
F. Reboot the computer
---------------------------------------------------------------
4. If You are Using an Omnibook 800CS Computer
On an Omnibook 800CS laptop, you must insert the modem before
running Setup.
---------------------------------------------------------------
5. If You Are Using an Omnibook 600C Computer
The HP Omnibook 600C has a proprietary PCMCIA controller that
will not support this modem.
---------------------------------------------------------------
6. Standard Computer Settings
Following is a list of computer resources recommended for use
with your Megahertz modem.

7. Loopback Tests
The following loopback AT commands are not supported: Local
Analog Loopback (AT&T8), Remote Analog Loopback (AT&T1, Local
Digital Loopback (AT&T6), and Remote Digital Loopback (AT&T3).
---------------------------------------------------------------
8. If You are Using Quicken Version 6
The default maximum baud rate of a modem in Quicken 6 is
19,200bps. Follow the instructions in the Quicken 6 manual to
increase this baud rate for your Megahertz modem.
---------------------------------------------------------------
9. If You Encounter Problems When Faxing
If you run into problems while you are faxing, try changing the
fax class you are using to 2.0 if you are using class 1, and to
class 1 if you are using 2.0.
---------------------------------------------------------------
10. Using Error Correction Mode when Faxing
Error correction mode (ECM) is not supported by the XJ1560 and
CC1560 modems. If your communications software supports ECM,
set ECM to off.
---------------------------------------------------------------
11. Faxing High Resolution Pages
When faxing high resolution pages, the text received will be
distorted if both the sending and the receiving modem do not
use High Resolution Mode.
---------------------------------------------------------------
12. Using Automatic Credit Card Dialing
When you enter the dial string for a credit card call, place an
ampersand (&) at the end of the credit card number, before the
phone number.
---------------------------------------------------------------
13. If You Don't Use Error Correction or Data Compression
To enhance performance when not using error correction or data
compression, set S24=64.
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.
