Adapting the [Version] and [Strings] Sections of SMPDATA.INF

The following topics show how to adapt the MDK sample INF file SMPDATA.INF to be used with different modem models from a different modem manufacturer.

Suppose you are working for the Zip Corporation and want to adapt the SMPDATA.INF sample for your modems, which are also a non-Plug and Play 28.8Kbps external modem and a 14.4Kbps PCMCIA modem. First, adapt the [Version] and [Strings] sections. Listings of the SMPDATA.INF [Version] and [Strings] sections are shown in the following:

[Version]
Signature="$CHICAGO$"
Class=%ClassName%
;new requirement for modem class of devices
ClassGUID={4D36E96D-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Provider=%Mfg%
.
.
.
 
[Strings]
ClassName = "Modem"
Mfg = "Microsoft"
Modem1 = "Microsoft 144 PCMCIA Data Fax Modem"
Modem2 = "Microsoft 288 External Data Fax Modem"
 

You must make sure the following entry, which gives the GUID for the modem class of devices, is in the [Version] section:

;new requirement for modem class of devices
ClassGUID={4D36E96D-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
 

Change the [Strings] section to include the friendly (displayable) names of the Zip Corporation and the Zip modem models. For example:

[Strings]
ClassName = "Modem"
Mfg = "Zip"
Modem1 = "Zippy 144 PCMCIA Data Fax Modem"
Modem2 = "Zippy 288 External Data Fax Modem"
