Before You Begin
Before you begin using the Modem, you should configure your
communications software to work with the Trumpcard. For specific
configuration instructions, refer to the documentation that came with
your communications software.
You will likely require the following information:
• Communications Port: The Trumpcard is compatible with
either Com1, COM2, COM3 or COM4, and is dependant on the
enabling software.
• Modem Type: Your communications software may have drivers for
specific manufacturers of modems. If the Trumpcard is not listed,
choose a driver for a Generic
AT compatible Modem, or refer to
the diskettes provided for Modem script files.
Before you start to dial out, you may want to take a moment to find out
the maximum speed of the remote Modem, and whether it supports
error correction or not. Knowing this may help you later if you have
communications problems.
Enabling The Trumpcard
The Trumpcard Modem, whether singular or part of a multi-function PC
Card, has been configured such that it will be recognized and enabled
as a Modem when used with a computer running Card and Socket
Services, with a Generic Enabler. The Modem will be fully functional,
and its configuration will be determined by the settings set for the
Generic Enabler. In this mode of operation any other functions provided
by the Trumpcard will not be operational. Refer to the Installation Guide
accompanying a multi-function Trumpcard for more details on how to
operate all functions.
For operating systems that do not support PCMCIA equipped
computers, the Trumpcard Modem can still be used by making use of
the many Trumpcard enablers provided by Ositech. For a multi-function
Trumpcard, refer to the Installation Guide accompanying the PC Card
for details on which operating systems are supported. For a Trumpcard
Modem only product, refer to the diskettes provided with the
Trumpcard.
