Modem INF File Structure

This topic summarizes the general structure and content of Windows INF file sections as they are commonly used in modem INF files. For more information about the general structure and content of Windows INF files, see General Syntax Rules for INF Files.

An INF file is composed of sections. The sample modem INF files that were included in the Driver Development Kit (DDK) are organized as follows:

  • Beginning--sections that define modem IDs

  • Middle--sections that support modem-specific commands and voice modem commands

  • Near the end--modem responses

  • End--Strings section

The following example includes three INF file sections:

[Manufacturer]
%Mfg% = Models
 
[Models]
%Modem1% = Modem1, SERENUM\MSFT5600
%Modem2% = Modem2, PCMCIA\Microsoft_56K_Plug-Play\AA1111-MSFT
 
[Strings]
; This section lists strings that are used by the modem program in Control Panel
; and the Install New Modem wizard. For example,
; Modem1 will appear as "Microsoft 56K External Data Fax Modem."
ClassName = "Modem"
Mfg = "Microsoft"
Modem1 = "Microsoft 56K External Data Fax Modem"
Modem2 = "Microsoft PCMCIA Fax-Modem"

The INF file sections that are commonly used in a modem INF file are listed in the following table:
