IBM PC730/PC750 - Hayes SmartModem fails to configure

Applicable to: World-Wide

Symptom :
Hayes Smartmodem 2400 Internal Micro Channel modems may fail to configure in a PC 700 Series 6876 or 6886 Micro Channel system.

Problem Isolation Aids :
The Hayes Smartmodem 2400 is recognized in the Setup Utility, but cannot be setup in the System Configuration using the Reference Diskette and the Option Diskette that ships with the modem.

Fix :
The "NumByte" parameter in the ".ADF" (Adapter Description File) file on the Hayes Smartmodem Option Diskette needs to be changed. Edit the ADF file and set the "NumBytes = 1" parameter to "NumBytes = 2." The modem should now be configurable with the Hayes Smartmodem 2400 Option Diskette and the PC 700 Series Reference Diskette.

Hayes Smartmodem 2400 is a trademark of Hayes Microcomputer Products, Inc.
