Hayes Online Reference and Driver Disk
This disk contains the Online Reference Guide for your
modem and Windows 95 drivers for certain Hayes modems.
1) Reference Guide
-------------------------
To install the Online Reference Guide, simply select
the file SETUP.EXE from the Windows file manager
and double-click with the mouse to run this file.
This will install the Hayes Online Reference manual
on your system to provide you easy quick access to
detailed information about your new Hayes modem.
2) Driver Disk
-------------------------
Most Hayes modems have drivers included with the latest
operating systems. Windows 95 is being updated regularly
with new drivers. If your Hayes modem is not listed in
the Windows 95 modem list this disk may contain a new
modem driver available for your modem. To install the
Hayes OPTIMA Business Modem with Windows 95, use the
following instructions:
From the START button in Windows 95
A) Select
SETTINGS
CONTROL PANEL
ADD NEW HARDWARE
NEXT
When prompted with "Do you want Windows to search for
new hardware?"
B) Select
No
NEXT
C) Select
Modem
NEXT
D) Select
"Don't detect my modem; I will select it from a list"
Next
E) Select
HAVE DISK
Insert the Hayes driver disk in the appropriate floppy drive
F) Select
OK
Choose your modem from the list
NOTE: If you do not have a Hayes Enhanced Serial Port do NOT
select the driver "Hayes Optima 288 V.34 + FAX + VOICE
with ESP Card"
G) Select
NEXT
Choose the appropriate communications port
NOTE: If you selected the "Hayes Optima 288 V.34 + FAX + VOICE
with ESP Card" you must select your ESP communications port
H) Select
NEXT
FINISH
Your modem is now setup for Windows 95. This driver automatically
sets the port speed for your modem to 115,200 bit/s if you select
either of the first two Hayes Optima modems. This speed maximizes
the performance of your modem for the most common serial
port in modern computers. (A serial port using a 16550 UART)
If you have a slower serial port (such as one using a 16450 UART),
you may need to adjust your port speed slower. This can be
accomplished through the Windows 95 Control Panel.
If you have a Hayes ESP card, you can select the "Hayes Optima 288
V.34 + FAX + VOICE with ESP Card". This automatically sets your
modem speed to 230,400 bit/s for maximum performance with the Hayes
ESP Communications Accelerator. This modem driver can ONLY be used
with the Hayes ESP card. Without this enhanced serial port you will
not be able to communicate with the modem at this speed. You will
need to set your port speed slower.
Please refer to the TROUBLE SHOOTING section of your Online
Reference Guide for assistance in identifying any complications in
modem setup or operation.
3) Voice-Data Switch
-------------------------
The external OPTIMA Business Modems contain a Voice-Data
switch located on the top right front of the modem. This
allows two users of external OPTIMA Business Modems to
toggle between a voice and data call without losing the
connection. This can be useful if the need to transmit
data arises during a voice call. The following process can
be used to accomplish voice-data toggling with two external
OPTIMA Business Modems:
A) Establish a voice call in which each party is talking using
a telephone handset connected to the back of an external
OPTIMA Business Modem.
B) Make sure one of the modems is set for auto-answer (ATS0=1)
C) Both parties press their voice-data switch and a data
connection will be established
D) Each party can now type to each other via a terminal program
or upload a file from one computer to the other
E) To re-establish the voice call, one party should press the
voice-data switch, the VO LED will begin flashing on the other
modem and a ring can be heard through the modem's speaker.
This alerts the other user to press the voice-data switch and
the voice connection is re-established.
F) The two parties can re-initiate the above process as many times
as necessary during any given call.
4) Speakers or Microphone
-------------------------
The Hayes OPTIMA Business modem contains both an external speaker
and an external microphone jack.
Most amplified or non-amplified speakers can be connected
to the speaker output jack to provide higher quality playback
of your messages. The modem speaker will automatically be
silent during message playback if external speakers are connected.
It is not unusual for only one speaker (of a pair) to be driven
by the external speaker jack. The external speaker jack is
designed for mono output and will only drive one speaker of most
speaker systems. An adapter can be found at some electronic stores
to drive two stereo speakers with a mono source if desired.
The Microphone input jack can utilize most 500-600 Ohm dynamic
microphones or a self-powered electret microphone.
NOTE: Most microphones bundled with sound systems are electret
microphones, however, they are NOT self-powered. These microphones
are powered from the sound card and do not work with the external
microphone jack of the Hayes OPTIMA Business Modem.
