Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the ActionTec DataLink V.90 (FM560LKI) interna-
tional PCMCIA fax/modem. The FM560LKI has the capability to interface with
and transfer data over the public telephone networks of many different countries.
The modem comes with its own country selection software that enables you to
easily configure the modem to recognize the standards of each individual country.
As an international traveler, you know that various countries telephone systems
may be different. You may have noticed distinct dial tones, busy signals, and rings.
Your FM560LKI can effortlessly adapt to these different telephone system re-
quirements. We include the exclusive software TraveLink Select that enables
you to easily select your current country and immediately use your modem with-
out restarting.
The FM560LKI has a programmable feature that enables you to change the con-
trol codes that the modem uses. When new firmware (the commands that make the
modem work) becomes available, you simply download the update utility from
our website and reprogram the modem. This feature allows the modem to keep
pace with any changes that might be made in the future.
In February 1998, Study Group 16 of the ITU-T (International Telecommunica-
tions Union, Telecommunication Standardization) agreed on the technical speci-
fications for 56K modems (ITU-T V.90). As with any new standard, implementa-
tion will be an ongoing process. It may take some time for the entire industry to
switch from their proprietary methods to the new standard. The ability to change
your modems control code will allow you to keep pace with these changing con-
ditions.
Please visit ActionTecs website regularly for any new drivers available for your
modem. Under the Tech Support section you will find an area for 56K Modem
Upgrades. Our website address is: www.actiontec.com
