Mwave Upgrade for Digital Simultaneous Voice over Data (DSVD) in DOS, Windows and OS2/WARP ============================================================= Upgrade Highlights ------------------ The Media Processor (Mwave Digital Signal Processor) on your system can be enhanced with the addition of the new Mwave DSVD software which provides concurrent voice-over-data communication via a single phone line. The following upgrade is intended to install the Voice Over Data (VOD) function for DOS, Windows and OS/2 Warp. This function is intended for limited distribution to IBM customers. Upon the next release of the base Mwave code this will be obsolete. This readme file contains the following sections: I. Upgrade Scope II. Upgrade Contents III. Upgrade Prerequisites IV. Upgrade Instructions V. Major operational characteristics and limitations VI. Support I. Upgrade Scope ---------------- This upgrade is for DOS, Windows and WARP environments. II. Upgrade Contents -------------------- This upgrade contains the following Mwave files, which are installed. GSM.DSP RAMM.DSP SPKVOD.DSP In addition, the diskette upgrade contains MICGAIN=430 in the modem initialization files (MWMDOS.INI, MWMWIN.INI, MWMOS2.INI) to ensure better voice response during VOD mode. III. Upgrade Prerequisites -------------------------- 1. Mwave Version 2.0 needs to be present on your computer. It cannot be used on previous releases of the Mwave DSP software. Please refer to the readme files that come with that software for further info. 2. The upgrade install must be installed from a DOS prompt or a DOS prompt in Windows, but can NOT be installed while in OS/2. IV. Upgrade Instructions ------------------------ 1. If not already installed, Install Mwave Version 2.0 code. 2. Boot to DOS 3. Put the VOD upgrade diskette in the diskette drive. 4. Change to the diskette drive letter. example [A:\] 5. Type 'install' 6. Once the update process completes, shut down DOS and reboot your machine (or reboot your machine back to OS/2). V. Major operational characteristics and limitations ---------------------------------------------------- 1. Voice Over Data (VOD) support provides for simultaneous voice and data operations. This function connects Mwave to Mwave systems that both are running Mwave 2.0 Voice over Data. 2. VOD is enabled by AT-SSE1 (for ON), and disabled by AT-SSE0 (for OFF). You should add these commands to your communications application initialization string or manually enter them at your terminal prior to initiating a connection. The Mwave modem default is VOD OFF. 3. VOD is only functional at 14,400bps. If VOD is enabled, the Mwave modem is automatically set to V.32bis (14,400bps). Additionally, a V.42 or V.42/V.42bis connection is required for successful VOD. MNP or asynchronous connections will not support VOD. If VOD fails to operate, redial until you are able to make the required connection. You may have to make several attempts based on the status of your phone equipment. 4. For Online Help, see the AT Command Summary of the MWave Modem Command Reference in the MWave ThinkPad Windows group (or in the OS/2 Modem Help in the MWave for OS/2 group). 5. You can increase the productivity with remote communications and conferencing applications that you can purchase separately. You can also use VOD with the already preinstalled Triton CoSession Host program in order to talk to the IBM HelpCenter for support at the same time your system is being accessed (remote diagnosis). Currently, this program is only supported in the native Windows, and native DOS environments. Not OS/2 (Win-OS/2). To utilize VOD function with CoSession, select the TPMVH modem name in the CoSession Host Phone Book Setup. VI. Support ----------- The Mwave 2.0 upgrade software can be obtained from the IBM PC Company BBS at (919) 517-0001. Also, customers with access capability, can obtain it from the Internet at FTP.PC.IBM.COM, and from the Thinkpad Forum on Compuserve. If diskettes are required, they can be requested for a nominal shipping & handling fee from 1-800-690-3882 (USA and Canada). Again, this upgrade offer provides users with improvements to usability, audio support, and speakerphone quality.
