Necessary Information for Using Your Optional Internal Modem
If you ordered an internal modem when you purchased your Build-to-Order Macintosh computer, you need to install some of the software on this CD for the modem to reach its maximum data transfer speed and send and receive faxes. This Read Me describes the software and includes instructions for installing it on your computer.
The software you need is in the two folders alongside this Read Me file. These items are:
- a modem script that enables the Apple/GV 56K modem to reach its maximum 56.6 K data transfer speed
- an electronic document called "ATCom56flex(apple).pdf," which contains technical information required for creating customized modem scripts
- FaxSTF software, which lets you use your modem to send and receive faxes
- an electronic document containing instructions for using the FaxSTF software (You can find and read this document after you install the FaxSTF software.)
Important: Installing the modem script does not guarantee that your modem will always reach its maximum speed. Data transfer speed depends on several factors.
To open the electronic documents, you need to install Acrobat Reader 3.0 on your computer. You can find the application in the CD Extras folder on the Power Macintosh CD that came with your computer.
Installing the Modem Script
To install the modem script, follow these steps:
1. Double-click the Modem Script folder to open it.
Inside the folder you see two icons: "Apple/GV 56K" and "ATCom56flex(apple).pdf."
2. Double-click your computer's hard disk icon to open it.
3. In the window that appears, find the System Folder icon and double-click it to open it.
4. In the window that appears, find the Extensions folder icon and double-click it to open it.
5. Locate the Modem Scripts folder within the Extensions folder.
6. Drag the "Apple/GV 56K" icon from the CD into the Modem Scripts folder.
7. Close all the windows.
8. Open the Modem control panel by opening the Apple menu, then choosing the menu item Control Panels and the submenu item Modem.
The Modem control panel appears.
9. Choose Modem Port from the "Connect via" pop-up menu.
Your internal modem is connected to the modem port.
10. Open the Modem pop-up menu and choose Apple/GV 56K.
11. Close the Modem control panel.
Your modem will now use the new modem script.
To read "ATCom56flex(apple).pdf," a technical document, you must install the application Adobe Acrobat Reader 3.0, which you can find on the Power Macintosh CD that came with your computer.
Installing FaxSTF software
FaxSTF software allows you to use your modem to send and receive faxes. The software includes an electronic manual that gives detailed instructions about using the application.
To install the software, follow these instructions:
1. Double-click the FaxSTF folder that appears on the CD alongside this Read Me file.
2. Double-click the Installer 56K icon inside the folder.
3. Follow the instructions on the screen.
4. Restart your computer.
After you restart, an electronic document called "FaxSTF Manual.pdf" appears in the FaxSTF folder. The document contains instructions for setting up and using the FaxSTF software. To read the manual, you must use the application Adobe Acrobat Reader 3.0. If the application is not already installed on your computer, you can find it in the CD Extras folder on the Power Macintosh CD that came with your computer.
