MODEM INSTALLATION WITH WINDOWS 3.X
8
What to Do with ComTest’sRecommendation NOTE: If your communications
software requires a modem that
ComTest does not recommend, there is
a good chance that the setting is being
used by another device in your system.
To free that setting in your system,
consult your computer’s manual. Go to
“How to Change the Modem’s Settings”
on page 10.
If ComTest recommended COM1/IRQ4
Write down “COM1” and “IRQ4” somewhere
where it will be handy during software
installation. Go to “How to Change the
Modem’s Settings” on page 10.
If ComTest recommended COM2/IRQ3
Write “COM2” and “IRQ3” somewhere
where it will be handy during software
installation. Go to “How to Change the
Modem’s Settings” on page 10.
If ComTest recommended COM3/IRQ4
or COM4/IRQ3
Do not use either of these settings. While the
COM port part of the setting is acceptable
(ComTest only recommends COM ports that
are not being used), the IRQ part of the setting
is not acceptable. When ComTest
recommends either COM3/IRQ4 or
COM4/IRQ3, the IRQ in the setting is being
used by another accessory. You could use the
suggested IRQ for the modem, but you run the
risk that the modem and/or the other accessory
sharing the IRQ might not work properly.
