MT2834ZDXI Quick Start Guide

Connections

All models connect to your computer ("RS232"), to a telephone line ("LINE"), and to
a power source ("POWER"), and, optionally, to surge suppressors or other
protection equipment.
Connecting to the Computer ("RS232")
Using a matching serial cable, connect the RS232 connector on the modem to one
of the serial port connectors on the back of your computer. On an IBM PC or
compatible, there are usually two serial ports, named "COM1" and "COM2." COM1
typically uses a DB-9 connector, whereas COM2 may use a DB-25 connector.
Most Apple Macintosh computers use round mini-DIN-8 connectors for the serial
ports. Choose the one marked with the icon of a telephone; the Macintosh gives
priority to that port and will not interrupt your communications link. Be sure to
tighten the mounting screws on the DB connectors.
Connecting to the Telephone Line ("LINE")
Plug one end of the cable provided with the ZDX into the telephone jack in your
home or office. Plug the other end into the LINE jack on the ZDX.
Connecting Power ("POWER")
Low-voltage DC power is supplied to the ZDX through a modular power supply
included with the modem. Plug the power supply module directly into a convenient
AC power outlet or surge protector. Plug the connector on the other end of the
power cord into the POWER jack on the modem. A power on/off switch is located on
the right side of the modem.
Note: Use only the power supply supplied with the ZDX. Use of any other power
supply will void the warranty and could damage the modem.
When you apply power to the modem, it performs a diagnostic self-test, indicated by
the speed indicators flashing in sequence for approximately two seconds, after which
the 14, 19, 28, or 33 indicator should light. If this does not happen, check that the
power switch is on, the power supply is solidly connected, and the AC outlet is live.

Software Configuration

Communications software must be configured to work with the MultiModemZDX,
your computer, and the remote system it is calling. Fortunately, most
communications programs make the process easy by providing a default
initialization string to your modem as well as defaults for most of the other required
parameters.
Some software programs allow you to select your modem type from a menu. By this
method, initialization strings that correspond to a particular modem type can be
selected to operate optimally with the software it is using.
Other software programs require you enter an initialization string in the software
modem setup screen. If this is the requirement in your software application, enter
