In response to the request window. Select Driver from Disk Provided by Hardware
Manufacturer (or Have Disk depending on the OS version) and browse to where the SM56
drivers are located. Windows should find the information on the disk and identify the device as a
SM56 Modem. It then copies the files from the install disk to the computer.
Important: The install program may display a message box that reports Cannot locate file.... If
this occurs, browse and re-point to where the SM56 driver files are located. Then click OK.
Installation will now complete.
On Data/Fax/TAM and Data/Fax/Speakerphone modems, another device is found 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 SM56 driver location and click
OK.
When these two devices are installed, the SM56 Modem Setup program runs.
The modem setup program for PCI does not prompt for user input during installation. It defaults
to USA country code and Domestic English as the language for the online Help file. If you wish
to change these settings, and/or the COM port selection, you may do so via the SM56 Control
Panel application (Start->Settings->Control Panel, then double-click the SM56 Modem icon)
after setup is complete. Also, for SM56 Data/Fax/Speakerphone modems the microphone and
speaker gain selections may be done via the Control Panel application (under the Advanced tab).
Also, DOS box support is disabled after the SM56 is installed. After install is complete, you
must enable it via the Advanced tab in the SM56 Control Panel application. Make sure the DOS
box check box is checked. If not, click it to check it, exit the SM56 Control Panel application and
restart the computer. You must restart the computer to complete DOS box enabling.
