INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION Congratulation on your purchase of the ThinCom PC Card. It is among the finest card in today's market. We develop this innovative product to meet or exceed the computer manufacturers' specifications as well as your communication needs. The ThinCom has dual functions in one card, the Fax/Data Modem portion allows you to use data communication such as connecting to an on-line service or the Internet, or send and receive fax.
INTRODUCTION The system should have at least one Type II or Type III (5.0 mm or 10.0 mm thickness) slot. 2. DOS version 5.0 or higher Or Windows 95 3. Socket Service and Card Service compliant with PCMCIA 2.10 to operate the PC Card (PCMCIA ) slot. Normally, the device driver is pre-installed on the computer from the factory. 4. Network operating system software compatible with NDIS or ODI drivers. 5. A RJ-45 (10 Base-T) jack connect to a network server or a computer. 6.
INSTALLATION INSTALLATION Before you begin the installation procedure, check and verify content of the ThinCom package. If you are missing any of the items listed below, please contact your dealer.
INSTALLATION Make sure to match the cable connector=s color with the connector on the card. The Modem connector is keyed, and it can not be inserted to the Ethernet connector accidently. 5. Insert the LAN interface cable with RJ-45 connector into the LAN port (White connector). Push in the connector firmly. Make sure to match the cable connector=s color with the connector on the card. The Ethernet connector is keyed, and it can not be inserted to the Modem connector accidently. 6.
INSTALLATION DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=D000-DFFF C Depending on the network environment, you need to choose whether you want to use ODI, NDIS2 or NDIS3 drivers. (These files are included with your installation diskette.) Use the following table as a guide: Network Environment Netware from DOS Netware from DOS and/or Windows 3.1x MS Windows Network from windows 3.1 x Netware and MS Windows Network Windows 3.
INSTALLATION PC Card (PCMCIA) device driver Most PC Card software will have a utility program to display the socket status, card type, card manufacturer name and system resource used by the PC Card inserted. These programs have a name such as >PCMINFO.EXE , CARDINFO.EXE, CARDVIEW or PCCARD.EXE etc..
INSTALLATION TESTING THE MODEM This section contains steps to verify the installation of the ThinCom Modem portion by using a communication software. 1. Install and start a data communication software. (for Microsoft Windows users Click on Accessories Group => Terminal) Select terminal mode. 2. In setup modem, set COM port to match COM Port previously set by the PC Card device driver 3. Set Baud Rate, Data bits, Parity, Flow Control and Stop bit parameters to your normally use. 4.
INSTALLATION WINDOWS 95 INSTALLATION The ThinCom card is a Windows 95 compatible product. It is installed as Plug-N-Play peripheral. Your system >32-Bit PC Card (PCMCIA) support= should be enabled prior to operating the ThinCom card. (See >Enable the 32-Bit card support in Windows 95' next page) Be sure to have your ThinCom= s device driver diskette and the Windows 95 CD-ROM or diskette handy. INSTALL THE THINCOM CARD 1. 2. Start Windows 95 and insert the modem into PC Card (PCMCIA) slot.
INSTALLATION ENABLING 32-BIT CARD SUPPORT IN WINDOWS 95 To check whether your computer is PCMCIA Socket supported, first, double-click on the ASystem@ icon from AControl Panel@ folder (you can select the AControl Panel@ under ASettings@ from the AStart@ menu to open the AControl Panel@ folder). Click on the Device Manager Tab. If APCMCIA Socket@ has a cross (X) sign next to the PCMCIA Controller as show above, it means the PCMCIA device driver is not using 32-Bit Card Support.
INSTALLATION INSTALLATION VERIFICATION Cont. MODEM Windows 95 After installation, you may wish to check if the computer recognized the modem and the assigned COM port. 1. 2. 3. Click on Start => Settings => Control Panel => Modem => Diagnostics tab. Locate the modem*s COM port then highlight it. Click on >More Info...* button. The Windows 95 will try to communicate with the modem. The More Info... window appear with all the modem identification information.
INSTALLATION NETWORK Go to > Control Panel= => Network and then install the nescessery network driver for the Windows 95. Also in here all the protocal driver are listed in here. Upon next restart of the notebook. The system will prompt for a network login.
INSTALLATION During the installation of the communication software you may be asked to select a model from a list of the support modem. Use the table below to help you with your selection.
DATA COMMUNICATION OPERATION The Fax/Data Modem may be used to connect to an On-Line service, local BBS (Bulletin Board System) or the Internet. This connection may require different communication parameters. The following parameters are the basic settings needed for a successful connection: 1. Data Bit 8 Data bit is the most common setting. 7 Data bit some for On-Line service and mostly Main frame connection. 2. Stop Bit 1 Stop bit is widely use. 3.
OPERATING MODE OPERATING MODE OPERATING MODE The Fax/Data Modem operating modes, which is selectable by the \Nn command, these commands allow the DCE (modem) to communicate with remote modems that may or may not support error correction and data compression. The operating modes are Normal, Direct, Reliable link, Auto-reliable, V.42 Reliable Mode, and MNP Reliable Mode.
DATA COMMUNICATION Normal \N0 \N0 \N0 \N0 \N0 Direct \N1 \N1 \N1 \N1 \N1 Reliable \N2 \N2 \N2 \N4 \N2 Auto-Reliable \N3 \N3 \N3 \N3 \N3 with MNP10 V.42 Only \N4 \N4 \N4 \N4 -J0 AH0 \N4 MNP Only \N5 \N5 \N5 \N2 \N5 File Transferring To transfer files between two computers user will need to choose a file transfer protocol once the two modems are connected. There are many different types of file transfer protocol. Each has advantage and disadvantage on their own.
FAX OPERATION C Because of the cellular phone environment, modem=s connection speed may be slower than the actual rated. (9600 bps is the fastest) C The MNP 10 protocol (cellular enhancement) is included with the 28,800 and all the cellular-ready modem.

You must be sure to be running in the enhanced mode. You can force windows to go into enhanced mode by starting Windows with the command win /3. The above entries work with: 1) UART 16550 emulation 2) normal version of COMM.DRV Otherwise the entries will be ignored.
DIAGNOSTIC DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION Setting up for the diagnostic operation: Start the data communication software, then enter the >Terminal Mode= or >Connect Mode=. Set the COM port to match the number use by the modem type >at= then press ENTER key to check the modem installation. The Fax/Data Modem supports diagnostic functions defined by ITU (CCITT) V.54 to assist identifying problems of the modem.
TROUBLESHOOTING TROUBLESHOOTING This section lists the common problems and possible causes and/or solutions. You may find the answer to your problem here. Problem Solution NO DIAL TONE ! Check the phone connection on both sides of the cable. ! Ensure the telephone is an Analog line not Digital line. ! Check the telephone line by connecting a standard telephone, listen to the normal house hold dial tone. ! Bypass Dial tone detection, add >X3' to the init string.
