You need to download a file to open on your Mac which will allow you to upgrade your modem to the V.90 standard. There is a choice of upgraders. You should download the one for your particular modem.

The Pace 56 Voice Mac and Pace NB 56 Mac upgrade uses Microphone LT, the data communications package supplied with your modem, to perform the upgrade. The tables on the right show the improvements that the current version provides over the earlier versions.

Check the current version of code in your modem by looking at the response to the ATI4 command. (Use MicroPhone LT, or FotoMac Terminal, to open a connection to your modem and look at the response when you type ATI4 and press 'return').

What do I do when I have downloaded this file?

  • Disconnect from the Internet: Close your connection to your Internet Service Provider (you can't upgrade your modem while it is in use!).

  • Install the Upgrade: The file should have been automatically expanded by Stuffit Expander when it was downloaded by your web browser. You should have a new folder called Pace 56 (...) Mac Modem Upgrade on your desktop (the ... will vary depending on which modem you have). Open the folder and then open the Modem Upgrader file.

  • Perform the Upgrade: When the upgrade starts, follow the on screen instuctions to perform the upgrade process. If there is a problem, check that your modem is correctly connected and turned on.
    • Pace 56 Voice Mac and Pace NB 56 Mac: The first time you run the upgrader it will recommend installing a new version (V1.30) of K56flex code. You should then make a test connection to your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and run the upgrader again.

    The upgrader will check the type of ISP that was called most recently. If that ISP supports the V.90 standard then the upgrader will recommend upgrading your modem to V.90. However, should your ISP not be using the V.90 standard then the wizard will recommend leaving the modem as K56flex. You can run the upgrader periodically to check if your ISP has upgraded to V.90.
