A modem is a computer peripheral that allows you to connect and communicate with other computers via telephone
lines. Modems allow you to combine the power of your computer with the global reach of the telephone system.
Because ordinary telephone lines cannot carry digital information, a modem changes the digital data from your
computer into analog data, a format that can be carried. In a similar manner, the modem receiving the call then
changes the analog signal back into digital data that the computer can digest. This shift of digital data into analog
data and back again allows two computers to “speak” with one another. Called modulation/ demodulation, this
transformation of signals is how the modem received its name.
With a modem and a standard telephone line, you can send faxes to the office or important customers without
leaving your computer. And with an online or internet connection, you can share recipes with fellow gourmets, catch
up on the latest news, view a weather map from Singapore, keep in touch with distant friends by electronic mail,
surf the World Wide Web and much more.

Data Communications
Your modem offers a range of internationally accepted standard modulation methods and protocols. It utilizes
hardware-based V.42/MNP 2-4 error control and V.42 bis/ MNP 5 data compression.
Your modem will transmit at speeds up to 33.600 bps with throughput to 115.200 bps. Also, it is universally
compatible with the following standards: V.34, V.FC, V.32 bis, V.32, V.22 bis, Bell 212A/V.22, V.23, V.25 and Bell
103/V.21 modems.
Fax Capability
You can use your modem with Class 1 or Class 2.0 fax software to exchange faxes with Group 3 fax machines
worldwide at speeds up to 14.400 bps.
Plug and Play
Plug and Play allows a computer to configure the modem's settings automatically. Your computer sets the optimal
configuration for the modem and your software applications automatically adjust to that configuration.
Once your system sets the configuration, it will use this configuration every time you turn on your machine.
4
Speakerphone
You can use your new Sportster as a full-duplex speakerphone without the echoing sound of some speakerphones.
The full-duplex feature allows you to speak at the same time as someone on the other end without losing any sound
quality. This affords you all the convenience of a speakerphone without the extra hardware and cords for the home
or office.
External modems have built-in microphones and you can attach a microphone and speaker to the internal models.
Personal Voice Mail
With Personal Voice Mail, your modem is a full-featured messaging system offering business-quality voice mail
features in the convenience of your home or office.
Using this feature, you can send voice greetings and record voice messages like a standard answering machine
with several “voice mailboxes” on one system. You can even access your voice messages remotely. Your modem
will autodetect incoming fax/voice/data calls and provides fax-on-demand services you can tailor to your needs.

Getting Started
This chapter will walk you through the installation of your external modem with your personal computer.
Before getting started, make sure that you have the following items:
· Modem
· Serial Cable
· Data/Fax/Voice software and Manual
· RJ11 phone cord
· Power Adapter
· Telephone plug
· Analog (Standard) Telephone Jack
· This Guide
There are two parts to installation: software and hardware. Software allows you to communicate with your modem
so that you can send and receive data and faxes, as well as activate voice features. Software installation is
discussed in your communications software manual. Hardware is the modem itself, which will be connected to your
computer by the serial cable.

Hardware Installation Steps
Before you begin the modem installation, turn off your computer and any attached devices, such as a printer. Follow
these steps to install your modem. Refer to the drawing below of the back panel.
1. Connect the serial cable to the modem and to the computer. When looking for your serial port label on
the back of your computer, select COM, MODEM, RS-232, or SERIAL.
Do NOT select AUX, GAME, LPT, or PARALLEL.
Note which serial port you selected.
This information will be necessary when installing your communications software.
2. Plug the power adapter into the power jack and into a standard wall outlet.
3. Plug one end of the phone cord into the telephone jack (labeled with a wall plug icon on the bottom of the
case) and the other end into a phone wall jack.
4. If you wish to use your modem and phone through the same phone wall jack, plug your phone's cord
into the modem's other jack (labeled with a phone icon on the bottom of the case). (Country
Specific)
5. You can also use the speaker jack if you have your own speaker. For more information, see the
next page and consult your software manual.

Speaker Attachment
An optional 8 ohm speaker or headset can be connected to the 3.5 mm speaker jack located on the back of your

Microphone
The microphone that is built into your modem is located on the front panel.
Installing your Software
1. Insert the software diskette included with your modem or another modem software disk. If using
other software, consult its own manual for installation procedures.
2. From Program Manager, choose File. Then choose Run and type a:\install and press <Enter>.
3. Once the software is installed, enter the software group and click on the application icon.
You have successfully finished installing your modem and software.
