∗∗ IMPORTANT! In accordance with the ITU-T standard for 56K transmissions, this modem is capable
of 56 Kbps downloads. However, due to FCC rules which restrict power output of the service
providers’ modems, current download speeds are limited to 53 Kbps. Actual speeds may vary
depending on line conditions and other factors. Uploads from users to server equipment travel at
speeds up to 31.2 Kbps. An analog phone line compatible with the ITU-T 56K standard or x2
technology, and an Internet provider or corporate host site compatible with the ITU-T 56K standard
or x2 technology are necessary for these high-speed downloads.

WELCOME TO 56K* INFORMATION ACCESS

The International Telecommunications Union
(ITU) decides the technical protocols
communications devices must use to
interoperate with each other. Modems that
comply with ITU standards can “talk to” other
standards-compliant modems and fax
machines worldwide.
The ITU has decided on a worldwide 56K
standard technology. So, now with a
U.S. Robotics modem you can get all the
Internet you want from any service provider
who offers the ITU standard 56K technology
or x2™ technology.
This modem will give you the most
compatibility with high speed downloads from
service providers that offer the ITU 56K
standard technology or x2 technology to their
customers. 3Com is working with providers
everywhere to quickly upgrade their service to
the ITU 56K standard.
*Capable of receiving up to 56 Kbps and sending
up to 31.2 Kbps. Due to FCC regulations, receiving
speeds are limited to 53 Kbps. Actual speeds may
vary. Requires compatible phone line and server
equipment. Complies with both the proposed ITU
56K standard and x2 protocols. ITU 56K standard
officially determined in February, 1998; expected to
be ratified in September, 1998. See

You’ll need these items from your
U.S. Robotics modem box:
modem phone cord
Connections CD
Plus:
a screwdriver (not included)
AWord aboutCOM Ports
and IRQs
Most computer accessories — a mouse, sound
card, enhanced graphics card, scanner, etc. —
require a special connection through which they
can communicate with the computer. For some
devices, this connection is called a
communications (or COM) port. Most computers
have 1 or 2 COM ports, but they can have up to
4. Although internal modems do not connect to
COM ports directly, they do require a COM port
setting, which is determined by the setting on the
modem’s COM jumper pins. Each COM port
uses an interrupt request (IRQ). An accessory
uses an IRQ to get the attention of your
computer’s central
INTERNALMODEMINSTALLATIONWITHWINDOWS3.X
4
processing unit (CPU) so that the accessory
can perform a task. The computer stops what
it’s doing, depending on the priority of the
request, to help the accessory perform its task.
When two accessories share an IRQ, it’s like
two people asking different questions in unison
to a third person. Just as the person being
asked the two questions cannot understand
either request, a computer can lock up or
otherwise fail to communicate properly with
your modem when there is an IRQ conflict.
KEY POINT: Accessories cannot
share COM ports and should not share
IRQs. When accessories try to share
settings, they will either not work
properly or not work at all.
3Com has set your modem to a default Plug
and Play setting geared towards Windows 95
users. In this configuration, the shunts used to
set your modem’s COM port and IRQ settings
are hanging from single jumper pins and will
not affect your modem’s settings. As a
Windows 3.x user, you need to run the
ComTest program (on the Connections CD)
to determine what settings your modem should
use.
NOTE: Some communications
software programs require a particular
setting for your modem (RapidComm,
which shipped with your modem, does
not). If you wish to use a program other
than RapidComm, now is a goodtime to
read that software’s manual to
determine what setting is required.

Howto Use ComTestto
DetermineYour Modem’s
Settings
1. Insert the Connections CD into your
CD-ROM drive.
2. In Windows’ Program Manager,click Run
on the File menu. Type d:\comtest.exe
and press ENTER. This starts ComTest,
the program that determines which COM
ports and IRQs are available for use by
your modem.
3. The screen in the next column appears
when ComTest starts.
• If there is a modem in your computer which
you are replacing with your new U.S.
Robotics®modem, go to “Testing an
Installed Modem” on page 7 to determine
which COM and IRQ settings the older
modem is using.
• If a modem is not currently installed in your
computer, click Recommend settings for
a new modem.
Then click Next.

4. Click Internal Modem. Then click Next.
5. If you have a free setting, you will see a
screen like this:
COM2/IRQ3 is free in this example.
ComTest might instead recommend
COM1/IRQ4, COM3/IRQ4, or
COM4/IRQ3 for your modem.
Write down the displayed settings. You’ll
need to know these settings later. Click
Next.
If you do not have a free setting, you will
see a screen like this:
