Modifying the Models Section

Each per-manufacturer Models section identifies at least one modem, references the DDInstall section for that modem, and specifies one or more identifiers for that modem.

The Models section does not have to be named "Models". In SmpData.inf the Models section is named "Microsoft". For information about how to name the Models section, see Modifying the Manufacturer Section.

The modem program in Control Panel and the Install New Modem wizard use the model names listed in this section. They will appear in the install new modem wizard's list of models as long as the ExcludeFromSelect directive is not defined for the ID used.

The most important modification in the Models section is changing the modem ID strings to match the modem IDs of the modems that the INF file will install. For more information about how to obtain modem ID strings, see Modem ID Strings.

For more information about the models section, see INF Models Section.

Example Models Section

The following example shows the association of two IDs with a single modem and supports two modems:

[Models]
%Modem1% = Modem1, *ZIP1234
%Modem1% = Modem1, SERENUM\ZIP1234
%Modem2% = Modem2, PCMCIA\Microsoft_56K_Plug-Play/AA1111-MSFT

In the preceding example, the two modem names are defined by %Modem1% and %Modem2%, as referenced in the Strings section.

Modem1 is the DDInstall section name of the first modem. Modem2 is the DDInstall section name of the second modem. For more information about the DDInstall section, see Modifying the add-registry-sections of smpdata.inf.
