US Robotics USR5686D Installation Manual

Before you begin, we recommend you uninstall any
other modems you have in your system. Refer to your old
modem's documentation for instructions.
Write the modem's serial number in the box below. The
serial number is located on the bottom of the modem and
on the modem's box.
It is very important that you have your serial number
written down for future reference. If you ever need to call
our Technical Support department, you will need this number
to receive assistance.
Make sure that your computer is shut down. Turn off your
computer and all peripheral devices. Unplug your computer.
Connect one end of the RS-232 serial cable (not
included) to the modem and the other to your
computer's serial port.
To find the serial port label on the back
of your computer, look for COM, MODEM, RS-
232, , or SERIAL. Do not use AUX,
GAME, LPT, or PARALLEL.
If at any time during the installation you are prompted
to select the location of your installation drivers, the
following is the correct location on the Installation CD
(assumes D: is your CD-ROM drive).
All Windows Operating Systems: D:\driver
For troubleshooting help or to find out how to contact
technical support, see the other side of this Guide.
Plug one end of the included phone cord into the TELCO jack on
the modem (labeled on the modem's underside) and plug
the other end into an analog phone jack.
When you are not using the modem, you can use a telephone
by plugging the telephone's cord into the modem's jack.
The ControlCenter software should have installed automatically
when you installed the Installation CD. In order to verify the
installation of ControlCenter, click Start, Programs, USR,
ControlCenter. If this application was not automatically
installed, click Windows Start and then click Run. In the "Run"
dialog box, type D:\setup.exe. If your CD-ROM drive uses a
different letter, type that letter in place of "D." Choose the
Software option and then follow the on-screen instructions to
install the ControlCenter software.
You can reinstall the ControlCenter software from your
Installation CD, if necessary.
The ControlCenter software allows you to configure your V.92
modem settings and automatically notifies you of any updates
to your modem's code. When you run ControlCenter for the
first time, the software will detect your U.S. Robotics modem.
Click the icon for your modem. For further instructions, click
the link for the ControlCenter manual within the ControlCenter
interface.
Plug the power supply into the modem's power jack (labeled
on the modem's underside) and into a surge protector or
electrical outlet. Make sure to use the power supply that came
with your modem, as others may be of different voltages and
could damage your modem. Turn on the modem. The CS light
should illuminate.
If the CS light does not illuminate or other lights illuminate,
make sure that only DIP switches 3, 5, and 8 are in the down
position. (The DIP switches are located next to the phone jacks
on the back of the modem.)
Turn on the PC.
After the New Hardware Wizard detects your modem, insert the
Installation CD into your CD-ROM drive. Select Search for best
drivers and then type D:\driver. If your CD-ROM drive uses a
different letter, type that letter in place of "D." Click Next to finish the
installation procedure.
Windows 2000 will initially install your modem as a standard modem.
Right-click My Computer and click Properties. Click the
Hardware tab, Device Manager, and then Modems. Double-click
the standard modem, then click Driver, and Update Driver. After
the Update Device Driver Wizard launches, insert the Installation
CD into your CD-ROM drive. If the CD autolaunches, click Cancel.
Follow the on-screen instructions to install the correct drivers for
your modem.
