The SM56 modem is a feature-rich, V.90 modem at an attractive price. It supports all fax and data fall back modes, and different driver installs include telephone answering machine(TAM) operation and full speakerphone functionality. This document details installation, troubleshooting, and usage of the SM56 software modem. \par \par The SM56 modems provide high-speed communications between your personal computer and a remote location, such as an Internet Service Provider (ISP), so you can: \par \par \pard\li360\fi-360{\*\pn\pnlvlblt\pnf1\pnindent360{\pntxtb\'b7}}\plain\f2\fs22 {\pntext\f1\'b7\tab}Receive data at up to 56 Kbps in V.90 or K56Flex modes \par {\pntext\f1\'b7\tab}Get automatic fallback to V.34 (33.6 Kbps) rates under bad line conditions and to non-V.90/K56Flex headends \par {\pntext\f1\'b7\tab}Send faxes from your personal computer at rates up to 14.4 Kbps \par {\pntext\f1\'b7\tab}Use your computer as a \plain\f2\fs22\b video phone\plain\f2\fs22 to place and receive video phone calls. \par {\pntext\f1\'b7\tab}Use your computer as a \plain\f2\fs22\b telephone answering\plain\f2\fs22 machine (TAM) -- not available on Data/Fax modems. \par {\pntext\f1\'b7\tab}Use your computer to conduct hands-off speakerphone \plain\f2\fs22\b voice calls \plain\f2\fs22 (Data/Fax/Speakerphone modems only). \par \pard\plain\f2\fs22 \par The SM56 modems run on Windows 95/98, in a Windows 95/98 DOS box, Windows Millenium, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000. \par \par \plain\f2\fs22\b Note:\plain\f2\fs22 The modem cannot be used in pure DOS or on any other operating system.

The SM56 install program interrogates lower COM ports (below COM 5) and installs the modem on the first available and unused port. Although the SM56 functions perfectly on any available COM port, some communications applications may not be able to use the modem if it gets installed above COM 4. Refer to the Troubleshooting section in this document for information on how to force the modem onto a COM port below COM 5 after install is complete. \par \par You can check which COM ports are on your computer as follows: \par \par \pard\li360\fi-360\tx360\plain\f2\fs22 1. Open the Windows 95/98 Control Panel. \par 2. Double click the \plain\f2\fs22\b System\plain\f2\fs22 icon. \par 3. Choose the \plain\f2\fs22\b Device Manager \plain\f2\fs22 tab. \par 4. Expand the \plain\f2\fs22\b Ports (COM and LPT) \plain\f2\fs22 branch to see which COM ports are already installed. \par \par \pard\plain\f2\fs22 \par \plain\f2\fs28\cf1\b 3\tab Installing The Modem Hardware\plain\f2\fs26\b \par \pard\li360\fi-360\tx360\plain\f2\fs26\b \par \plain\f2\fs22 1. Power down the computer. \par \pard\tx360\plain\f2\fs22 2. Locate the connector (AC-Link, CNR, or PCI slot) on the motherboard, and carefully insert the SM56 modem board. \par \pard\li360\fi-360\tx360\plain\f2\fs22 3. Connect the \plain\f2\fs22\b Wall\plain\f2\fs22 jack on the modem board to an analog phone jack using an RJ-11 phone cable. If your modem board also has a telephone handset jack, make sure to not plug the telephone line into that jack. The jacks will be labeled with a little icon and/or text indicatin which is which. \par \pard\plain\f2\fs22 4. Power ON the computer. \par \par \plain\f2\fs22\b\i Important\plain\f2\fs22 : When using the SM56 modem, or any modem for that matter, you should always connect the modem line input to a direct analog telephone line. This will maximize modem performance by avoiding any problems introduced by internal PBX systems, etc. \par \par \plain\f2\fs22\cf1\b \par \plain\f2\fs28\cf1\b 4\tab Installing the Modem on Windows 9x, Millenium, and Windows 2000 \par \plain\f2\fs22 (\plain\f2\fs22\b Note\plain\f2\fs22 : The Install Wizard may vary slightly with different versions of the OS and different service packs) \par \par On starting Windows for the first time after installing the modem Plug and Play (PnP)detects the new hardware and begins an install wizard for the modem. The modem is detected as a new \plain\f2\fs22\b PCI Device \plain\f2\fs22 or new \plain\f2\fs22\b PCI Communications Device\plain\f2\fs22 . 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. \par \par Browse to the SM56 modem files on the Motorola disk/CD-ROM. Windows will find the information on the disk. On Windows 95 and older versions of Windows 98 you may get an error message \plain\f2\fs22\b\i Cannot Locate File...... \plain\f2\fs22 If you do, simply repoint the install wizard to the Motorola disk/CD-ROM and it will find the file the second time around. \par \par Windows copies the necessary modem files to the computer and transparently runs the necessary installation routines. \par \par 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 \plain\f2\fs22\b\i Serial Wave Device\plain\f2\fs22 for the modem and prompts for a Wave Device driver. Re-point to the Motorola disk/CD-ROM and click \plain\f2\fs22\b OK\plain\f2\fs22 . It finds the INF file and installs the appropriate drivers. \par \par \plain\f2\fs22\b Note:\plain\f2\fs22 \par 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 language, and enable/disable Windows 9x DOS box support. There 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. \par \par Also, Windows 9x DOS Box operation is disabled by default when the modem is loaded. It can be enabled using a check box in the SM56 Helper application. \par \plain\f2\fs22\b\i \par \par \plain\f2\fs28\cf1\b 5\tab Installing the Modem on Windows NT 4.0\plain\f2\fs22\b\ul \par \par \plain\f2\fs22\b\i\ul Important: \plain\f2\fs22 Make sure you have the NT 4.0 modem drivers. They are different than those for Windows 9x or Windows 2000. \par \par Windows NT 4.0 does not fully support plug and play (PnP). Therefore, after installing the modem board in the computer and booting, the operating system will not automatically recognize that new hardware is present. You must manually install the modem by running \plain\f2\fs22\b\i sm56set.exe\plain\f2\fs22\b \plain\f2\fs22 from the distribution media. This install program will automatically add a new COM port, install the modem, then assign it to that new COM port. When installation is complete you will be prompted to Restart the PC. You must do this before using the modem. \par \par \plain\f2\fs22\b\i\ul Important:\plain\f2\fs22 \plain\f2\fs22\b There is no Upgrade application for Windows NT 4.0. \plain\f2\fs22 To upgrade to a new version of the modem, you must first uninstall the previous version (Run uninstall from Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel), then do a new installation as descibed above. \par \plain\f2\fs22\b\i \par \plain\f2\fs22\b\ul \par \plain\f2\fs28\cf1\b 6\tab Verifying Correct Installation\plain\f2\fs24\b\ul \par \plain\f2\fs22 \par \plain\f2\fs22\b Verifying Modem Software Operation on Windows 9x and Windows 2000\plain\f2\fs22 \par \par 1.
