Installing Modem Software on Windows 95/98

(Note: The Windows Install Wizard may vary slightly with different versions of the
OS and different service packs)

On starting Windows for the first time after installing the SM56 AC-L modem, the Plug
and Play (PnP) sub-system detects the new hardware and begins an install wizard for
the modem. The SM56 AC-L modem is detected as a new PCI Device. The wizard fist looks
for the modem information (INF) file, which is included on Motorola's distribution
disk or CD-ROM. This file contains information about the modem, including device type,
device driver information, as well as the AT command/response sets that it supports.

Select Driver from Disk Provided by Hardware Manufacturer (or Have Disk depending on
the OS version) and browse to the SM56 AC-L modem INF file (called SM56ACL.INF) on the
Motorola disk/CD-ROM. Windows will find the information on the disk. On Windows 95 and
older versions of Windows 98 you may get an error message Cannot Locate File...... If
you do, simply repoint the install wizard to the Motorola disk/CD-ROM and it will find
the file the second time around.

Windows copies the necessary SM56 AC-L files to the computer. After modem installation
is complete, Windows reports the SM56 AC-L modem in the Control Panel and Device Manager.

For D/F/TAM and D/F/TAM/Speakerphone modems, Windows finds a second device after the
modem has been installed. Windows notifies you that it has found a Serial Wave Device
for the modem and prompts for a Wave Device driver. Re-point to the Motorola disk/CD-ROM
and click OK. It finds the INF file and installs the appropriate drivers. 

Note: 
The SM56 AC-L also installs a helper utility on the Windows System Tray (right side of
the Task Bar). This application includes real time modem status (dialing, negotiating,
connect rate, etc.), in addition to user selection for COM port, country and language,
and enable/disable Windows 9x DOS box support. There is also an audio test included, 
which allows you to verify if your sound subsystem supports Direct X 3.0 (or later) --
needed to hear call progress (dialing and negotiation).
