Front Panel
The MultiModem product has 6 LED indicators on the front panel that indicate status, configuration, and activity.
Transmit Data. The TD LED flashes when the modem is transmitting data to another modem.
Receive Data. The RD LED flashes when the modem is receiving data from another modem.
Carrier Detect. The CD LED lights when the modem detects a valid carrier signal from another
modem. It is on when the modem is communicating with the other modem and off when the link is
broken.
Off‐Hook. The OH LED lights when the modem is off‐hook, which occurs when the modem is dialing,
online, or answering a call. The LED flashes when the modem pulse‐dials.
Terminal Ready. The TR LED lights when a communications program is using the modem. It means
the modem is ready for an outgoing or incoming call. It goes off when the communications program
disconnects. When it goes off, a connected modem will also disconnect.
Power. The PWR led lights when the modem is installed in Windows.
Connecting to the Internet
Your Multi‐Tech modem is your gateway to the Internet and the World Wide Web. To access the Internet and
Web via your modem, you must establish a dial‐up account with an Internet service provider (ISP). To locate an
ISP near you, look in a local directory or computer publication. Your ISP should provide you with the following
information:
●
User name (also called user ID)
●
Password
●
Access number (the number you call to connect to the server)
●
Host name and/or domain name
●
Domain Name Server (DNS) server address
If, besides the Web, you use the Internet for e‐mail and newsgroups, your ISP should also provide you with the
following information: E‐mail or POP mail address; POP server address; Mail or SMTP address
Internet Connection
Before you can connect to the Internet, you must set up a remote‐node client program on your computer. Most, if
not all, Windows browsers can automatically open this connection. For instructions on how to set up this
connection, consult your ISP or your operating system's online help or printed documentation. Many ISPs include
with their service a program that will install and configure this connection automatically for you.
