- adapters (TAs). All these files are available on our FTP server.
-
- MDMZYXEI.INF .... ZyXEL "Elite 2864I" (with built-in V.34 fax/modem)

- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
- 1.) Installation:
- -----------------
- + In the Windows modem wizard (start | settings | control panel | modems)
- you should remove all existing modem entries for the
- "ZyXEL omni.net PLUS".
-
- + Please check your \WINDOWS\INF\ directory for already existing files
- (older versions) of the MDMZYXLG.INF, MDMZYXEI.INF or MDMZYX28.INF.
- All these existing files should be renamed to *.OLD
-
- + Check that there don't exist any other "OEMx.INF" ('x' is a digit)
- files for the ZyXEL "omni.net" ISDN TAs in the \WINDOWS\INF\ directory.
- Have also a look into the \WINDOWS\INF\OTHER\ directory, if it
- exists (new in Windows98 and NT 5.0)
- You'll have to look into the "OEMx.INF" by opening it with the
- NOTEPAD.EXE (or any other ASCII editor). If the "OEMx.INF"
- starts with the header which lets you assume it is for ZyXEL modems,
- then please rename (or delete) this file !
-
- + Then install your ZyXEL "omni.net PLUS" ISDN terminal adapter once again
- by using the "modems" wizard in the control panel. Don't let Windows9x/NT
- search for the new modem but add the new hardware manually !
- You will be prompted to enter the path where Windows9x/NT could find
- the new INF driver file. Select the corresponding modem entry.
-
-
- 2.) How to work with this INF ?
- -------------------------------
- + This new INF does not support several modem entries anymore - as
- they were in previous versions of the INF file for ZyXEL "omni.net PLUS".
- Now, by default the PPP (on HDLC) B-channel protocol is selected (ATB40).
- It is mostly used to connect to the Internet Service Provider's routers
- or for WindowsNT RAS.
-
- However, if you want to select different B-channel protocols for
- outgoing calls you have two choices to select them:
- a.) in Windows modem wizard's advanced extra settings
- b.) or by using the "ZyXEL ISDN Configuration Manager"
-
- ad a.) In the Windows modem wizard's advanced extra settings you can
- enter any other command for B-channel protocols. By default, as
- mentioned above, you will find there the command: "ATB40" (PPP)
- You can use following commands (please look into the ZyXEL user's
- manual for further information)
- ATB00 -> X.75
- ATB1x -> V.110 ('x' is for user rate select)
- ATB20 -> V.120
- ATB30 n/a
- * ATB40 -> PPP
- ATB41 -> SLIP
- * = default
-
- ad b.) "ZyXEL ISDN Configuration Manager" (= ZyICM) which is currently
- available as version v2.4, (January 17, 1998)
- This ZyICM is a Windows-based application which lets select
- some parameters of the ZyXEL ISDN terminal adapters in a more
- user friendly and simple way: just select the outgoing protocol
- and click on the "apply" button. The selected protocol will
- be stored in the TA's user profile #0 in NVRAM (AT&W0).
-
- attention: in this case the default command "ATB40" in
- the modem's wizard advanced extra settings must be cleared,
- otherwise always this command for PPP protocol will overwrite
- the ZyICM's selection.
-
-
- 3.) LOGWIN.EXE and LOGGER.VXD (for Windows95 only)
- --------------------------------------------------
- This is a utility (copyright by Microsoft) which lets you watch the
- logfile and trace information of the "MODEMLOG.TXT" (for the AT commands
- and modem responses) and the "PPPLOG.TXT" (PPP trace information) in a
- window ONLINE (!), that is WHILE IT HAPPENS !
-
- how to install it ?
- -------------------
- + manually copy the "LOGGER.VXD" into the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ directory
- + manually copy the "LOGWIN.EXE" into the \WINDOWS\ directory
-
- how to start it ?
- -----------------
- a.) you have to enable the logfile feature in the modem's advanced
- settings. Open the modems wizard applet which you will find under
- "Start | Settings | Control Panel | Modems",
- then select any modem entry and click on the "Properties" button
- and enable the "Record to a logfile" on the "Connection , Advanced"
- dialog box. In this INF file it is already pre-selected, so normally
- you don't need this step. If the "LOGWIN" utility is not used, then
- Windows95 will create a file "MODEMLOG.TXT" in the \WINDOWS\
- directory.
- Note: under Windows98 Beta 3 you will find the modem logfile in the
- \WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ directory with a long filename: "MODEMLOG_ZyXEL..."
-
-
- b.) if you want to enable the "PPPLOG.TXT" logfile feature, you must
- enable it in the advanced network settings for the "dial-up adapter":
- Open the network wizard applet which you will find under
- "Start | Settings | Control Panel | Network". Then select the
- "dial-up adapter", click on the "properties" button and choose the
- "advanced" dialox box. There the value for the "Record a log file"
- property must be set to "yes"
-
- c.) manually start the "LOGWIN.EXE" before dialing whenever you want to
- watch or debug the INF files !
-
- Originally this utility is included in the Modem Development Kit (MDK),
- which is publically available on Microsoft's Internet site.
- Please have a look at following URLs:
- ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/developr/drg/Modem/modmdev.EXE MDK v1.20, 07/11/97
- http://www.microsoft.com/hwdev/devdes/modemddk.htm MDK v1.40, 12/09/97
-
-
- note: because ZyXEL R&D Dept. Taiwan and Microsoft is developing many
- new features, this MDMZYXON.INF will also be modified again in the
- future !
-
- Please have a regularily look to our Internet ftp-server where you
- always will find the most updated version:
-
- ftp://ftp.zyxel.co.at/public/omni/net.plus/drivers/Windows9x/mdmzyxop.zip
- ftp://ftp.zyxel.co.at/public/omni/net.plus/software/zyicm/zyicm24.zip
-
- Any bugreports or suggestions for new modifications are welcome !
