6 Hayes Modem Installation Guide
Installing a Plug-n-Play Modem
without Windows 95/98
Plug-n-Play modems are designed to be configured for a COM port
by the Windows 95/98 hardware detection program. However, your
Plug-n-Play modem can still be used under Unix, Windows NT 4.0,
Windows 3.11, Windows 3.x, or DOS. There are three ways that a
Plug-n-Play modem can be configured for use in a non-Plug-n-Play
environment:
• Jumper Settings – Changing the jumper setting overrides
the Plug-n-Play capability of the modem. To do so, you need to
remove the jumper from the Plug-n-Play jumper block and place it
over one of the manual jumpers. Please refer to “Possible Jumper
Settings” on page 14 for details on how to configure your modem
using jumper settings.
• Plug-n-Play BIOS - Some computers are designed with a
Plug-n-Play BIOS. A Plug-n-Play BIOS also configures your Plug-n-
Play modem for you. With Plug-n-Play BIOS, no additional software,
such as Plug-n-Play manager, is usually required to support Plug-n-
Play. Do not load SETCOM16.
• SETCOM16 - If you do not have Plug-n-Play manager or
Plug-n-Play BIOS, you need to use the INSTALL.EXE program
provided on the Driver and Utilities diskette or CD included with your
modem to load SETCOM16.
