Panel Modem Configuration
(Samples: USR Sportster™ 56K and LASAT Safire 560™ Voice Modem)
Once the switches are set correctly, you'll need
to temporarily connect the modem to a PC,
and load some specific settings into the
modem's memory. This can be done with the
"HyperTerminal" program that is included with
MS Windows (or any other "terminal-
emulation" program that you may be familiar
with):
Note:
Ensure you have the specific modem with you,
and a suitable modem cable for connecting it to the PC.
(This must be a standard modem cable, NOT a 'laplink-
style' cable, "null-modem" cable, or any other type of
file-transfer cable.)
1)
Start up the "HyperTerminal" program:
Windows 98:
From the Windows
Start
menu,
select
Programs
,
Accessories
,
Communications

HyperTerminal
.
(Alternatively, you can open the
Start
menu,
select
Run
, type "hypertrm.exe", and click
Ok
).
Tip:
If the HyperTerminal program is not
available, you'll need to install it. (Windows98:
Windows Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs,
Windows Setup tab, Communications, [Details]
button, HyperTerminal, [Ok].)
2)
Wait for the HyperTerminal logo screen to
close (if applicable).
3)
