Introduction
It provides high-speed communications between your personal computer and a remote location,
such as an Internet Service Provider (ISP), so you can:
•
Receive data at up to 56 Kbps in V.90 or K56flex modes
•
Get automatic fallback to V.34 (33.6 Kbps) rates in bad line conditions and on non-
V.90/K56flex headends
•
Send and receive faxes on your personal computer at rates up to 14.4 Kbps
•
Use your computer as a video phone to place and receive video phone calls.
•

    (DRAM). Eliminating most CPU accesses to main memory considerably improves overall system performance. The GM56PCI-SM modem works best when a minimum of 256K L2 Cache is installed on the computer system motherboard to minimize processor loading. Intel's Celeron (266MHz PII) systems do not have L2 cache.

    DOS application support. You can access the User's Guide through the GM56PCI- SM modem Control Panel application. Also, you must ensure that one of COM Port 2, 3, or 4 is available for the GM56PCI-SM, as follows: 1. Open the Windows Control Panel.

    4. Expand the Ports (COM and LPT) branch to see which COM ports are already installed. To install the GM56PCI-SM so that it is accessible to older application software and DOS programs, the modem needs to be installed on one of COM port 2, 3, or 4. If none of these ports are available, you must disable one of them in the BIOS.

    Advanced tab in the GM56PCI-SM Control Panel application. Make sure the DOS box check box is checked. If not, click it to check it, exit the GM56PCI-SM Control Panel application and restart the computer. You must restart the computer to complete DOS box enabling.
  • Page 6 COM port, many software applications do not work if the modem is on a COM port number higher than 4. If the GM56PCI-SM installs on COM5 (or higher), you can force it to a lower COM port via the GM56PCI-SM Control Panel applet.

    *Some games require that the modem refrain from performing error correction and data compression. In these cases, use the initialization string AT&F\N0. For a full list of AT commands supported by the GM56PCI-SM please refer to the on-line User's Guide.

    The modem installs at COM 5 (or higher) Some communications applications do not communicate with a COM port higher than COM4. If the GM56PCI-SM installs on COM5 or higher, force the modem to a lower COM port as follows. 1. Open the GM56PCI-SM Control Panel application.
  • Page 10 6. Select the Resources tab. Make a note of the IRQ number listed. 7. For DOS support to operate correctly, the GM56PCI-SM modem cannot occupy the standard for the COM port number. 8. Uncheck the Use Automatic Resources check box.
  • Page 11 COM port. 2. Reset modem parameters to default options by entering AT&F; then re-enter custom options. 3. GM56PCI-SM builds after Build 50 require setting the S46 register to 23 before AT&T1 will perform the Local Analog Loopback (LAL) hardware test.
  • Page 12 The modem cannot connect; the Error Control option is selected The modem may be connecting at a rate higher than appropriate for the line conditions. 1. Use the AT%B command to limit the GM56PCI-SM maximum connection rate. (For a list of AT commands, refer to the on-line User's Guide.) 2.
