Installing Your Communications Software; Using The Modem's Voice Features - ActionTec 56K USB Call Waiting Modem User Manual

Installing Your Communications Software

The default installation parameters in the software that came with this modem
have been specially configured to work with the Actiontec 56K USB Call Waiting
Modem. The Users Guide for this program can be found inside the modem pack-
age on the installation CD-ROM (depending on the model you purchased).
If you wish to use another software package, make sure that it supports the Action-
tec 56K USB Call Waiting Modem. Most software manufacturers have a listing of
supported modems on their websites or BBS's. Check these sites to see if this
model is supported. If you are unsure or your brand of software supports only a
few modems, try selecting "Hayes Compatible", "Lucent Generic," or "Standard
Modem." One of these may work in certain cases.
Some software programs allow manual input of parameters. For the users of these
programs, here is a listing of the Data/Fax/Voice Command Standards supported.
Data:
Fax:
Voice:
Init String:
TIA IS-101 Commands not supported:
Note: Some programs must be configured to communicate with the modem on
the same COM port and or IRQ setting used by the modem See the
"Installing the Modem" section for instructions on how to determine your
COM Port and IRQ settings.

dem, is also required.
