Modifying the Strings Section of SmpData.inf

  • Article

The Strings section is generally the last section in the INF file. This section lists the strings that are displayed by the modem program in Control Panel.

The Strings section contains one line for each string including:

  • One line per manufacturer

  • One line per modem

  • One line for provider

For more information about the Strings section, see INF Strings Section.

Example Strings Section

Suppose you are working for XYZ Corporation and want to adapt the SmpData.inf sample for your PCI 56 Kbps modem. Change the Strings section to include the friendly (displayable) names of the XYZ Corporation and the XYZ modem models as follows:

[Manufacturer]
%Mfg% = Models

[Strings]
Mfg = "XYZ"
CompanyName = "Your Name"
Modem1 = "XYZ 56K Data Fax Modem"

Note   If you change the manufacturer symbol name (for example, Microsoft to Mfg), you must update the INF Manufacturer section of the INF file.
