Role of Cisco modem drivers

A modem changes digital signals to analog signals and transmits them through the telephone line. It is possible to access Internet through the modem. The phone line, thus, could be used a reliable means of communication between computers. Like any other hardware driver in the computer, the modem driver also supports the hardware through communication between the hardware and the Operating System.
System requirements

You might check for the minimum system requirements in the installation manual. The minimum requirements are mainly related to the processor, RAM, and motherboard. The compatibility of the drivers also needs to be checked while installing them. ‘Read me’ file might be provided along with the modem. When the minimum system requirements are not met in the computer, it might cause reliability issues in the computer.
Tips to download the drivers
The problem of generic drivers is that the full functionality that the manufacturer intended might not be available. The generic drivers might be automatically installed when no other drivers are necessary for the computer. Navigate to the Cisco website and install the appropriate drivers. The drivers need to be updated after installation. You need to have an Internet connection to download and install the drivers.
