1.The modem may not be connected to a party line or to a coin operated telephone.
2.The modem manufacturer must make any repairs to the modem to maintain valid FCC registration.
3.Notification to the telephone company is no longer required prior to connecting registered equipment, but upon request from the telephone company, the user shall tell the telephone company which line the equipment is connected to as well as the registration number and ringer equivalence number of the registered protective circuitry. FCC information is printed on a label on the bottom of the modem.

CHAPTER 1 Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of this Modem PCMCIA card. This manual describes how to operate your new Modem.
This Modem combines the features of a 56 Kbps data modem function and a 14.4 Kbps FAX modem function. It also supports V.80/H.324 Video Conferencing standard. This Modem gives your personal computer the ability to send and receive FAX messages over the telephone link like a standard FAX machine. It also allows your PC to communicate with other personal computers, terminals, Internet or BBS through the data modem function.
When used as data modem your Modem card uses the standard AT command set and is fully compatible with CCITT V.90, K56flex, V.42, V.42bis, V.34, V.32bis, V.32, V.22bis, V.23, V.22, V.21, MNP2-5, Bell 103 and 212A. When used as a Fax modem it communicates with all CCITT Group 3 FAX machines and is compatible with CCITT V.27ter and V.29, V.17, T.4 and T.30 standards. Switching between DATA mode operation and FAX mode operation of your Modem is done through its firmware, no hardware settings are required.
This modem is very easy for you to use. Just read the installation procedures for your PC's operating system in below then you are ready to begin. For a professional user, this manual provides "AT" command set. The glossary words in boldface type are command names, commands, or default settings.

CHAPTER 4 Application Examples
[Dialing a Remote Modem]
Command Line: ATDP9WT002, (886)-1234567 <CR>
This command line instruct the modem to dial a remote modem through a PBX. The modem first use pulse dialing to dial 9 (the access code of the PBX), wait for outside dial tone, and then use touch tone dialing to dial 002 once a one-second continuous dial tone is detected within 30 seconds, pause for 2 seconds (if S8=2) and then dial 8861234567.
[Dial s Stored Number]
Command line: AT&Z2=T03, 123456<CR>
Command line: ATDS=2<CR>
The first command line store the dial string T03, 123456 to the 3rd location in NVRAM. Afterward you can use the second command line to dial this stored number. The dial string T03, 123456 will appear on the screen to indicate the number being dialed.
[Manual Answer an Incoming Call]
Command line: ATA<CR>
The factory setting of the S-Register S0 is S0=0. This command disables the auto answer capability so that you must issue an ATA command to answer a call. At power up, your modem always monitors if there are incoming rings. If incoming rings are detected, your modem will display result codes on the screen as:
RING
RING
:
:
RING
Seeing that, you may issue the ATA command to answer the call. This command must be entered within the quiet interval between any two rings.
[Auto Answer an Incoming Call]
Command line: ATS0=2 &W &Y <CR>
Auto answer can be enabled by changing the setting of the S-Register S0 to a value between 1 and 255. In the above command line, S0=2 instructs the modem to answer an incoming call automatically after the 2nd ring. The &W command writes this configuration to profile 0 in NVRAM. &Y command instruct the modem to load profile 0 as the active configuration on power-up. The last two commands make S0=2 the default value at power-up or reset. This example also shows the insertion of space between two neighboring commands to make the command line more readable.
[Force V.42 bis data compression with LAP-M error correction]
Command line: AT\N4%C2-K0
[Force V.42 bis data compression with MNP error correction]
Command line: AT\N5%C2
[Force MNP 5 data compression with MNP error correction]
Command line: AT\N5%C1
If the remote is unable to negotiate the desire rate mode, the modem will disconnected and respond with NO CARIER.
[Auto negotiate data compression and error correction]
Command line: AT&F
or
Command line: AT\N3%C3
In this mode, the modem prefers LAP-M over MNP 10, MNP 10 over MNP 4, and V.42 bis over MNP 5. If error correction is not negotiated, the modem will connect in normal mode.
CHAPTER 5 Troubleshooting Guide
This chapter describes common problems in the installation, configuration and regular usage of your Fax/Data Modem. To test the Fax/Data Modem, a communication software package is needed and the package must include a mode that allows you to operate your Fax/Modem by directly issuing internal commands to the modem.
Follow the procedures in the following sections to resolve these common problems:
[No Response From Your Modem]
1.Make sure that the COM port address you have set your modem to corresponds to the appropriate selection in the communications software which you are using.
2.Issue the ATZ command to reset your modem. The returned result code should be “0” or “OK” depending on what communications program you are using. Your modem is OK if you get one of these responses. If there is no response after issuing the ATZ <CR>, continue to the next step.
3.Check if there are any other interface cards in your computer that use the same COM port address as your modem. If so, you must set your modem to another COM port address. (Keep in mind that on most systems, only two COM port are available. One of them must be used as either 1 or 3, while the other must be used as 2 or 4.) For example, if a mouse is set to COM 1, your modem should be set to COM2 or COM4. Continue to the next step if the COM port address is OK.
4.Issue the command: AT&F&W<CR>, if a “0” or “OK” result code is displayed on the screen, your modem is OK. Otherwise, contact your dealer for assistance.
[Your Modem Does Not Dial Out]
Make sure that your modem responds normally as described in above "ATZ<CR>" command. If you can communicate through the keyboard, check whether the modem is properly connected to the phone line.
[Your Modem Does Not Connect After It Has Dialed a Phone Number]
The problem may have several causes. One possibility is your Internet Service Provider is too busy, please redial a few moments later. Another possibility is that the phone line may be too noisy or the telephone cord may be poor. Try the line with a regular phone to see if it too noisy.
[You Can Not Transmit After You Have Connected to the Internet]
In this case, check the Service parameters and TCP/IP protocol parameters specified by your Internet Service Provider. And configure your modem connection setting to the same parameters.
[Finding the Source of Transmission Errors]
A failure in modem communication is usually characterized by unacceptable high error rates, it may be the fault of the telephone line.
