itself, may use the same COM port, memory address, or interrupt request (IRQ) as your communications port. Be sure to disable any unused ports.

To look for address conflicts or IRQ conflicts when using Windows 3.1x, begin in Program Manager. Select File, Run. Type MSD, and press ENTER. Then select Mouse, COM Ports, and IRQ Status and note the addresses and IRQs that are in use. If you find an IRQ conflict, note which IRQs are not being used, then change one of the conflicting devices to use one of the unused IRQs. If you find an address conflict, change the address of one of the conflicting devices.

To change a port address or IRQ in Windows 3.1x, double-click the Control Panel icon, then the Ports icon. Click on the port you want to change, click Settings, click Advanced, and select the new port address and/or interrupt. If you wish to use COM3 or COM4, note that COM3 shares an IRQ with COM1, as does COM4 with COM2, so you should change their IRQs to unused ones, if possible.

If you use Windows 95, right-click on My Computer, select Properties from the menu, click on the Device Manager tab, double-click on Ports, then double-click on the Communications Port your modem is connected to. In the port’s Properties sheet, click on the Resources tab to see the port’s Input/Output range and Interrupt Request. If another device is using the same address range or IRQ, it will appear in the Conflicting Device List. Uncheck Use Automatic Settings to change the port’s settings so they do not conflict with the other device, or select the port the conflicting device is on and change it instead. If you need to open your computer to change switches or jumpers on the conflicting device; refer to the device’s documentation.

4 The serial port may be defective. If you have another serial port, install the modem on it, change the COM port setting in your software, and try again.

4The modem may be defective. If you have another Multi-Tech modem, try swapping modems. If the problem goes away, the first modem is possibly defective. Call Tech Support for assistance (see Chapter 5).
