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.
