Modem Installation  
Overview of the Connections  
Turn off your computer. Place the modem in a convenient location,  
and then connect it to your computer’s serial port, the phone line, AC  
power, and your phone (the phone is optional).  
Connections Without Voice & Connections With Voice  
Connect the Modem to Your PC  
Plug one end of the RS-232 serial cable into the RS-232 connector  
on the modem, and plug the other end into a serial port connector  
on your computer..  
Connect the Modem to the Telephone Line  
Plug one end of the phone cable into the modem’s LINE jack, and  
the other end into a telephone wall jack. The phone cable is  
included in your modem kit.  
Important: The LINE jack is not interchangeable with the PHONE

the PHONE jack.

equipment connected to public telephone systems.

Connect the Power  
Make sure the power switch is set to OFF. The power switch is  
located on the side panel of the modem.  
Plug the power supply into a power outlet or power strip. Plug the  
other end into PWR jack on the modem..  
Caution. Use only the power supply supplied with the modem. Use of  
any other power supply voids the warranty and can damage the  
modem.  
Power-on Test  
When you apply power, the modem performs a diagnostic self-test.  
The PWR indicator should light, and if a terminal program is running,  
the TR indicator also lights. If this does not happen, check that the  
power switch is on, the power supply is solidly connected, and the  
AC outlet is live. See the User Guide for more Troubleshooting  
measures.  
Voice Connections (Voice Model Only)  
Connect the Modem to the Phone (Optional)  
For Voice models, plug the phone into the modem’s PHONE jack.  
Connect the Microphone  
For speakerphone or voice mail applications, plug an unamplified  
microphone into the MIC jack on the side of the modem. The  
microphone should have a stereo 1/8-inch (3.5 mm) mini plug. Do not  
use a monophonic microphone.  
Connect the Speaker(s)  
For speakerphone or voice mail applications, use a 1/8-inch (3.5 mm)  
plug male-to-male stereo patch cord to connect the SPKR jack on the  
side of the modem to the LINE IN jack on your sound card. If your  
sound card does not have a LINE IN jack, use its MIC jack. The  
stereo male-to-male patch cord can be purchased at a local PC retail  
store. If you do not have a sound card, you can plug an amplified  
speaker directly into the SPKR jack.

Install the Modem Driver  
If you use Windows 2000 or newer, you must install the modem  
driver. The modem driver tells Windows how to control the modem. If  
you use a Linux operating system, please see the User Guide for  
installation instructions. Follow the 4-step procedure to install the  
driver:  
1. Make sure your modem is connected properly, and then turn on  
your computer. Windows should detect your new modem and  
open the Welcom to the Found New Hardware wizard.  
Note: If Windows cannot find a modem, it may be plugged into the  
wrong connector on your computer. See Troubleshooting in the  
User Guide.  
2. Insert the MT5656ZDX CD into your CD-ROM drive.  
3. Windows installs the modem driver.  
4. Click Finish to exit.  
Data Communications Software  
Data communications software is designed to send and receive  
messages. Multi-Tech includes data communications software  
with your modem. However, the modem will work with most data  
communications software. To install the data communications  
software provided with this modem, insert the CD into the CD-  
ROM drive and click on the PhoneTools icon. You will be asked  
to choose your language. The software will automatically load  
onto your PC.
