Hayes Online Reference and Driver Disk This disk contains the Online Reference Guide for your modem and Windows 95 drivers for certain Hayes modems. 1) Reference Guide ------------------------- To install the Online Reference Guide, simply select the file SETUP.EXE from the Windows file manager and double-click with the mouse to run this file. This will install the Hayes Online Reference manual on your system to provide you easy quick access to detailed information about your new Hayes modem. 2) Driver Disk ------------------------- Most Hayes modems have drivers included with the latest operating systems. Windows 95 is being updated regularly with new drivers. If your Hayes modem is not listed in the Windows 95 modem list this disk may contain a new modem driver available for your modem. To install the Hayes OPTIMA Business Modem with Windows 95, use the following instructions: From the START button in Windows 95 A) Select SETTINGS CONTROL PANEL ADD NEW HARDWARE NEXT When prompted with "Do you want Windows to search for new hardware?" B) Select No NEXT C) Select Modem NEXT D) Select "Don't detect my modem; I will select it from a list" Next E) Select HAVE DISK Insert the Hayes driver disk in the appropriate floppy drive F) Select OK Choose your modem from the list NOTE: If you do not have a Hayes Enhanced Serial Port do NOT select the driver "Hayes Optima 288 V.34 + FAX + VOICE with ESP Card" G) Select NEXT Choose the appropriate communications port NOTE: If you selected the "Hayes Optima 288 V.34 + FAX + VOICE with ESP Card" you must select your ESP communications port H) Select NEXT FINISH Your modem is now setup for Windows 95. This driver automatically sets the port speed for your modem to 115,200 bit/s if you select either of the first two Hayes Optima modems. This speed maximizes the performance of your modem for the most common serial port in modern computers. (A serial port using a 16550 UART) If you have a slower serial port (such as one using a 16450 UART), you may need to adjust your port speed slower. This can be accomplished through the Windows 95 Control Panel. If you have a Hayes ESP card, you can select the "Hayes Optima 288 V.34 + FAX + VOICE with ESP Card". This automatically sets your modem speed to 230,400 bit/s for maximum performance with the Hayes ESP Communications Accelerator. This modem driver can ONLY be used with the Hayes ESP card. Without this enhanced serial port you will not be able to communicate with the modem at this speed. You will need to set your port speed slower. Please refer to the TROUBLE SHOOTING section of your Online Reference Guide for assistance in identifying any complications in modem setup or operation. 3) Voice-Data Switch ------------------------- The external OPTIMA Business Modems contain a Voice-Data switch located on the top right front of the modem. This allows two users of external OPTIMA Business Modems to toggle between a voice and data call without losing the connection. This can be useful if the need to transmit data arises during a voice call. The following process can be used to accomplish voice-data toggling with two external OPTIMA Business Modems: A) Establish a voice call in which each party is talking using a telephone handset connected to the back of an external OPTIMA Business Modem. B) Make sure one of the modems is set for auto-answer (ATS0=1) C) Both parties press their voice-data switch and a data connection will be established D) Each party can now type to each other via a terminal program or upload a file from one computer to the other E) To re-establish the voice call, one party should press the voice-data switch, the VO LED will begin flashing on the other modem and a ring can be heard through the modem's speaker. This alerts the other user to press the voice-data switch and the voice connection is re-established. F) The two parties can re-initiate the above process as many times as necessary during any given call. 4) Speakers or Microphone ------------------------- The Hayes OPTIMA Business modem contains both an external speaker and an external microphone jack. Most amplified or non-amplified speakers can be connected to the speaker output jack to provide higher quality playback of your messages. The modem speaker will automatically be silent during message playback if external speakers are connected. It is not unusual for only one speaker (of a pair) to be driven by the external speaker jack. The external speaker jack is designed for mono output and will only drive one speaker of most speaker systems. An adapter can be found at some electronic stores to drive two stereo speakers with a mono source if desired. The Microphone input jack can utilize most 500-600 Ohm dynamic microphones or a self-powered electret microphone. NOTE: Most microphones bundled with sound systems are electret microphones, however, they are NOT self-powered. These microphones are powered from the sound card and do not work with the external microphone jack of the Hayes OPTIMA Business Modem. 5) Technical Support ------------------------- Online ----------- CompuServe: GO HAYES Internet: http://www.hayes.com Hayes Online BBS: (770) 446-6336 Telephone ----------- Monday-Friday 08:00am - 06:00pm Eastern Time Voice: (770)441-1617 Fax: (770)449-0087
