Device or new PCI Communications Device. The wizard fist looks for the modem information

(INF) file, which is included on Motorola's distribution disk or CD-ROM. This file contains

information about the modem, including device type, device driver information, as well as the AT

command/response sets that it supports.

Browse to the SM56 modem files on the Motorola disk/CD-ROM. Windows will find the

information on the disk. On older versions of Windows 98 you may get an error message Cannot

Locate File...... If you do, simply re-point the install wizard to the Motorola disk/CD-ROM and it

will find the file the second time around.

Windows copies the necessary modem files to the computer and transparently runs the necessary

installation routines.

For D/F/TAM and D/F/TAM/Speakerphone modems, Windows finds a second device 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 Motorola disk/CD-ROM and click

OK. It finds the INF file and installs the appropriate drivers.

Note:

The SM56 also installs a modem Helper utility on the Windows System Tray (right side of the Task

Bar). This application includes real time modem status (dialing, negotiating, connect rate, etc.), in

addition to user selection for COM port, country and languageThere is also an audio test included,

which allows you to verify if your sound subsystem supports Direct X 3.0 (or later) -- needed to

hear call progress (dialing and negotiation). The SM56 installation auto-detects the country from

the OS and defaults to that.
