What this update provides

For Power Macintosh users with GeoPort Telecom Adapter

This update provides support for V.34 protocols, which allow data transfer at speeds up to 28.8 Kbps. The actual speed you get with your GeoPort Telecom Adapter will depend on factors such as telephone line noise conditions and the hardware design of your modem. Although your actual data transfer speeds may be higher or lower, the common data transfer speeds will be between 16.8 Kbps and 24 Kbps.

For Express Modem users

This update provides software improvements, but does not provide any speed increase to the Express Modem.  For System 7.5.5 users, it is recommended that you install this update.

For Centris/Quadra 660AV/840AV users with GeoPort Telecom Adapter

This update provides software improvements, but does not provide any speed increase to the GeoPort Telecom Adapter.

For the remainder of this document, the term GeoPort Telecom Adapter refers to all members of the GeoPort Telecom Adapter products: GeoPort Telecom Adapter, GeoPort Telecom Adapter II, and GeoPort Internal Modem.

LocalTalk compatibility with GeoPort Telecom Adapter

If you are using a GeoPort Telecom Adapter on a Power Macintosh 7200 series, 7500/100, 7600/120, 8500 series, and 9500 series, you must disable LocalTalk. To do this, disconnect any LocalTalk devices attached to the printer port (serial devices can remain attached).

Sleep (Power Macintosh and Performa models)

Some Macintosh desktop models, including Power Macintosh 7200 series, 7500/100, 7600/120, 8500 series, 9500 series, Power Macintosh and Performa 5400 series, 6400 series and Performa 6360, support the Sleep feature to conserve energy. If you select ŇSleepÓ from the Special Menu available on these models while there is an active GeoPort connection, the GeoPort Telecom Adapter will automatically disconnect the call without warning.

Connection (CCL) scripts for Apple Remote Access

Use GeoPort/Express Modem connection script with Apple Remote Access.

If you use Apple Remote Access 2.0 or inferior, the Installer installs the GeoPort/Express Modem connection script in the Extensions folder inside the System Folder. If you use Apple Remote Access 2.1 the GeoPort/Express Modem connection script is installed in the Modem Scripts folder inside the Extensions folder. 

An additional, optional connection script, named GeoPort/Express Modem CNG, is installed in the same places. When you use this optional script, the GeoPort Telecom Adapter or Express Modem transmits data calling tones after dialing. Data calling tones allow the remote machine to detect automatically that an incoming call is a data modem call. If you are dialing into a system that supports data, fax and voice calls (such as another GeoPort Telecom Adapter), you should select this connection script in the Apple Remote Access Setup control panel.

Communication settings

If you are using a terminal emulator or communications program that supports the Apple Communications Toolbox, you should select the ŇExpress Modem ToolÓ from the connection settings menu item. This toolŐs default settings will always try to establish connections at the highest possible speed with error correction and compression enabled.

Using RAM Doubler

If you are using RAM Doubler from Connectix with Apple Telecom software, you should use RAM Doubler version 1.6.2 or later.

Troubleshooting

Using a Centris 660AV or Quadra 660AV/840AV

If you are using a Centris 660AV or Quadra 660AV/840AV and experience errors when attempting to establish a connection, you may need to change the audio settings on your computer. The default setting of 24.000 kHz is compatible with the GeoPort Telecom Adapter. To change this setting, open the sound control panel, choose ŇSound OutÓ and select the Ň24.000 kHzÓ sampling rate.
  
Clicking sound from GeoPort Telecom Adapter

If your computer freezes, the GeoPort Telecom Adapter can lose its connection with your computer and may generate a rapid clicking sound. This sound is a temporary side-effect of the lost connection. To stop the clicking, unplug the adapter for a few seconds or restart your computer.
