MultiModemII Quick Start Guide  
Introduction  
Congratulations on your purchase of the MultiModemII mo-  
dem. You have acquired one of the finest data/fax dialup and  
leased line modems available today from one of the worlds  
oldest modem manufacturers: Multitech Systems, Inc.

MultiModemII Quick Start Guide  
What You Will Need  
In addition to the contents of the MultiModemII package, you  
will need the following items:  
A computer with an unused serial port  
A shielded RS-232 serial cable with a male DB-25 connec-  
tor on one end and a connector to match your computers  
serial port on the other end  
A nearby AC power outlet  
A nearby telephone line  
A nearby leased line jack or terminals (optional)  
Safety Warnings  
Use this product only with UL- and CUL-listed computers.  
To reduce the risk of fire, use only 26 AWG or larger tele-  
phone wiring.  
Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.  
Never install a telephone jack in a wet location unless the  
jack is specifically designed for wet locations.  
Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals  
unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the  
network interface.  
Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.  
Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) dur-  
ing an electrical storm; there is a risk of electrical shock  
from lightning.  
Do not use a telephone in the vicinity of a gas leak.

Step 1: Connect the Modem to Your System  
Turn off your computer. Placing the modem in a convenient  
location, connect it to your computers serial port, to the tele-  
phone line, to your leased line, to AC power, and, optionally, to  
your telephone.  
Figure 1. MT5600BL connections.  
RS232 Connection  
Plug one end of the serial cable into the RS232 connector on  
the modem, and the other end into a serial port connector on  
your computer, such as COM1 or COM2.

MultiModemII Quick Start Guide  
Dialup Connection  
Plug one end of the modular phone cable into the modems  
LINE jack, and the other end into a public switched telephone  
network (PSTN) wall jack.  
Note: The LINE jack is not interchangeable with the PHONE  
jack. Do not plug the phone into the LINE jack or the line cable  
into the PHONE jack.  
Note: Regulatory agencies may impose certain restrictions on  
equipment connected to public telephone systems. For more  
information, see Appendix A of the User Guide.  
Two-Wire Leased Line Connection  
MT5600BA Plug one end of a two-wire phone cable into the  
modems LINE jack, and connect the other end to a leased line  
wall jack or terminals.  
MT5600BL Plug one end of a two-wire phone cable into the  
modems LEASED jack, and connect the other end to a leased  
line wall jack or terminals.  
Four-Wire Leased Line Connection  
On an MT5600BL only, plug one end of a four-wire phone ca-  
ble into the modems LEASED jack, and connect the other end  
to a four-wire leased line wall jack or terminals. For dial back-  
up operation, plug one end of the modular phone cable into the  
modems LINE jack, and the other end into a PSTN wall jack.  
Phone Connection  
For voice-only calls, plug a telephone into the modems  
PHONE jack (optional).

MultiModemII Quick Start Guide  
Power Connection  
Plug the transformer module into an AC power outlet or power  
strip. Plug the transformer modules cable into the POWER  
jack on the modem.  
Note: Use only the transformer module supplied with the  
modem. Use of any other module voids the warranty and can  
damage the modem.  
Power-On Test  
Test the modem by turning it on (a power switch is located on  
the front panel). When you apply power, the modem performs  
a diagnostic self-test, indicated by the TM indicator lighting  
for a few seconds, after which the LCD should light. If this  
does not happen, check that the power switch is on, the trans-  
former module supply is solidly connected, and the AC outlet  
is live. If these measures do not work, see Chapter 8 of the  
User Guide, Solving Problems.”  
Step 2: Install the Modem Driver  
If you use Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows  
NT 4.0, or Windows 2000, you must install the modem driver.  
(If you use Windows 3.1 or another operating system, skip this  
step and go to Step 3.)  
1. Make sure your modem is connected properly, and then  
turn on your computer. Windows should detect your new  
modem and open the Install New Modem wizard.  
Note: If Windows cannot find a modem, your modem may  
be turned off, it may be plugged into the wrong connector  
on your computer, or the serial cable may be faulty. See  
None of the LEDs Light When the Modem Is Turned On”  
and The Modem Does Not Respond to Commandsin  
Chapter 5 of the User Guide, Solving Problems.”

2. In the Install New Modem wizard, select Don’t detect my  
modem; I will select it from a list, and then click Next. A  
dialog box with a list of manufacturers and a list of modem  
models appears.  
3. Insert the installation CD into your CD-ROM drive, and  
then click Have Disk.  
4. In the Install from Disk dialog box, select the drive the CD  
is in, and then click OK.  
5. A list of modems appears. Select your modem from the list,  
and then click Next.  
6. Select the port the modem is connected to, and then click  
Next.  
7. Windows installs and configures the modem.  
8. Click Finish to exit.  
Step 3: Install and Configure Your Software  
You may use either the communication program included  
with your modem or a third-party program. Communication  
programs designed for Windows 95/98/Me and Windows  
NT/2000 normally do not need to be manually configured,  
since they use the Plug and Play configuration of the Win-  
dows modem driver. Communication programs designed for  
DOS and other operating systems, however, may need to be  
manually configured to work with your modem. Though each  
communication program is different, the following procedure  
should work with most of them.  
1. Install and run your communication program.  
2. Find the dialog box or menu that lets you select your mo-  
dem. (In Windows Terminal select Settings | Modem  
Commands; in HyperTerminal select File | Properties |  
Phone Number; and in PhoneTools select Configure |  
General Configuration | Communication | Change  
Modem.

MultiModemII Quick Start Guide  
3. Choose your modem from the softwares modem list. If it  
isnt listed, choose a generic modem and modify the set-  
tings as necessary.  
4. Change the modem initialization string, if necessary. The  
factory default configuration works well for most purpos-  
es. To load the factory default configuration, use AT&F. To  
load a custom configuration that was saved using the &W  
command, use ATZ. Note that the Z command must be in  
a command string by itself. For a Macintosh, the initializa-  
tion string should include the &D0 command. If you do not  
want the modem to always answer the phone, add S0=0 to  
the string. To use Caller ID with the modem, add S0=2 to  
the string (Caller ID information is sent between the first  
and second rings, so the phone must ring at least twice be-  
for the modem picks up the line). Depending on the soft-  
ware, you might have to end the string with a carriage  
return character (^M).  
Note: To change the modems default configuration, type  
new commands in the communication programs terminal  
window, adding the &W command to store them in the  
modems nonvolatile memory. For instance, to create a  
default configuration for a Macintosh computer that turns  
off autoanswer, type AT&F&D0S0=0&W. The new config-  
uration loads automatically whenever the modem is turned  
on or receives the ATZ command.  
5. Select the port the modem is connected to (normally COM1  
or COM2).  
6. Select your serial port speed. This can be labeled maximum  
speed,” “DTE bps,or baud rate.Ideally, if you use data  
compression, you should set your serial port baud rate to  
four times the modems maximum transmission speed or  
faster; however, few files can be compressed enough to  
require speeds that high, and not all serial ports can handle  
speeds that high.

MultiModemII Quick Start Guide  
7. If the software has an autobaud selection, make sure it is  
disabled. Autobaud applies only to older modems, and can  
cause problems if enabled.  
8. If the software allows you to edit the no-connect messages  
(NO CARRIER, BUSY, NO ANSWER, NO DIALTONE),  
make sure there is no space between DIAL and TONE in  
NO DIALTONE.  
9. Refer to the software manual or online help for other con-  
figuration choices; in most cases you can accept the default  
values.  
How to Get a Copy of the User Guide
