3. If you have one or more serial ports on the back of your

computer, reconfigure your modem. Your modem is shipped

set to COM1 on IRQ4. Reconfigure the modem to either

COM3/IRQ5 or COM4/IRQ2 (refer to Table 2-1 in Sec-

tion 2.4).

dem into the slot you have cho-

sen, applying even pressure un-

til the modem is completely

seated in the slot.

“PHONE” connector, 2) a speaker to the modem's “SPKR”

connector, and 3) a microphone to the modem's “MIC”

connector. Note that the distance between the microphone

and the speaker must be greater than twelve (12) inches

to prevent unpleasant speaker feedback.

11. Turn your computer on. Your modem is now installed.

2.3 Software Installation/Configuration

You are now ready to install and configure the commu-

nication software. Refer to your software manual for instal-

lation procedures. Your software must be configured to

communicate with the modem on the same COM port and

IRQ line used by the modem.

If you are using Microsoft Windows 3.x and have

changed the modem's operating setting from the default COM1/

IRQ4 to COM3/IRQ5 or COM4/IRQ2 to avoid a conflict, you

must use Windows' Control Panel (in the “Main” Group

within Program Manager) to configure Windows to recognize

the new settings before installing any software. In Control

Panel, double-click on Ports. Click once on the icon for the

Com port you have set your modem to. Click the Settings

button. Click the Advanced button. The Base I/O Port
