Testing Your Modem

Software Installation Overview

RPI is the protocol used between your modem and your PC. The
t
Windows version of the QuickLink II Fax diskette installs a
Windows RPI driver (WinRPI) that allows you to use any
Windows fax or communications application. See Appendix D for
a list of DOS applications that support RPI.
Some communications applications may include an error
correction protocol driver called DAPI, which will conflict with
WinRPI. For the DataPort PCX modem to work properly, disable
DAPI when WinRPI is enabled. See the communication
application users manual for instructions.
QuickLink II Fax provides basic features and functionality for
both data and fax communications. It also provides error
correction and data compression services for the modem.
QuickLink II Fax is thoroughly tested by AT&T Paradyne to
ensure compatibility with your DataPort PCX modem.
Before installing the software, make sure the modem is
connected to your computer and turned ON.
If you are installing the Windows version, insert the diskette into
your disk drive, select Run from the Windows File menu, and
enter a:\install or b:\install. Respond as prompted by the
program. To ensure WinRPI compatibility with any Windows
communications application, check the Compression and Error
Correction Software Drivers box on the installation screen. Allow
the installation program to restart Windows. See About WinRPI
at the end of this chapter.
If you do not choose to install QuickLink II Fax, uncheck the
QuickLink II Fax for Windows box to install only the WinRPI.
