In Windows™ 3.11, a PC Card modem must be "configured" when it is inserted into a PC Slot. Many PCs have Card and Socket Services that perform this function. If your computer does not have Card and Socket Services, or if you prefer not to use them, you can use the Point Enabler program to identify and configure the Global Freedom™ 5660. The main difference between a Point Enabler and Card Services is that Card Services remains in memory and tries to identify and configure any card that is inserted into the PC Slot. The Point Enabler generally does not remain in memory and is designed to identify and configure a specific PC Card. |
Configuration Help
Some software packages identify the Global Freedom™ during installation and configure the software accordingly. Other packages require you to identify the modem from a list of possibilities. Unfortunately, since PCMCIA modems are fairly new, many packages do not have a complete line of TDK modems on their list. If a selection for the Global Freedom™ 5660 is unavailable, then select a Rockwell 28800 or Hayes generic modem selection, or edit the Initialization String (a.k.a. Init. Command) and use the appropriate settings for both data and fax use.
