Serial Networking: Installing The Modem Driver

Note: Before you start following these instructions you should download this modem INF file. This guide is based on Windows 2000 behaviour so it may vary compared to Windows XP or later. The overall process, however, should be more or less the same.

	1) Go to the Control Panel and double left click on the Phone and Modem Options icon. In the resulting window left click on the Modems tab and then the Add... button.
	2) You should now see a window named Add/Remove Hardware Wizard. Tick the Don't detect my modem; I will select it from a list box and left click on the Next button. In the new Wizard window left click on the Have Disk... button.
	3) In the new Install From Disk window left click on the Browse... button and in the Locate File window go to where you downloaded the modem INF file, select it and left click on the Open button. In the Install From Disk window left click on the OK button to return to the Add/Remove Hardware Wizard window.
	4) In the Add/Remove Hardware Wizard select the Serial Networking entry and left click on the Next > button to continue. In the next Remove Hardware Wizard window select which COM port you will be using and again left click on the Next > button.
	5) Since the INF file is not digitally signed you will get a Digital Signature Not Found message. You can ignore this by left clicking on the Yes button. You should now get a message from the Remove Hardware Wizard saying that Your modem has been setup succesfully. Now click on the Finish button to finish the installation.
	6) Now that we have installed the modem we need to configure it. In thr Phone And Modems Options window select the Serial Networking entry and left click on the Properties button. In the resulting Serial Networking Properties window change the Maximum Port Speed to 115200 if it is not already set. Now left click on the OK button to return to the Phone And Modems Options window. Left click on the OK button to complete these instructions.
