Chapter 2 – Installing the Modem
12 Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. MT9234ZBA-Series User Guide
Connect Speakers (Voice Option)
For speakerphone or voice mail applications, use a 1/8-inch plug male-to-male stereo patch cord to connect the
SPKR jack on the side of the modem to the LINE IN jack on your sound card. If your sound card does not have a
LINE IN jack, use its MIC jack. The stereo male-to-male patch cord can be purchased at a local PC retail store.
If you do not have a sound card, you can plug an unamplified speaker directly into the SPKR jack.
Connect the Modem to the AC Power Outlet
The power switch is located on the right side of the modem. Make sure it is set to OFF.
Attach the appropriate interchangeable blade module to the power supply module. Connect the power lead
from the power supply module into the PWR jack on the modem. Now, plug the power supply module into your
power source.
Note: Use only the power supply supplied with the modem. Use of any other power supply voids the
warranty and can damage the modem.
Power-On Test
Test the modem by turning it on. When you turn it on, the modem performs a diagnostic self-test and the power
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. If these measures do not work, refer to Chapter 6, “Troubleshooting”.
Installing the Modem Driver
If you use Windows 2000 or above, you must install the modem driver. The modem driver tells Windows how to
control the modem. If you use a Linux operating system, please refer Appendix D. If you use another operating
system, please refer to its documentation for modem installation information.
