Setting Up Serial Driver COM Ports
During software installation, eight Serial COM driver ports are assigned to the board. The Serial driver can emulate from 0 to 30 COM ports to be used by the digital modems on the board. You can change the Serial driver COM port assignment using the WAN Adapters Setup utility. For information about assigning Serial driver COM ports to the board, see Setting Up Card Properties on page 77.
Declaring Serial Driver Modems in Windows NTDepending on the applications you use with modems, you might need to use Windows NT to identify (declare) Serial driver digital modems to the operating system so the modems can be detected when needed. For example, to use the board’s digital modems with certain fax applications, you need to declare the modems on Serial driver ports in Windows NT.
To declare the board’s Serial driver modems, install the modems on the appropriate Serial driver COM port(s), as follows:
1.From the Windows NT Start menu, select Settings, and then Control Panel.
2.
–If an Interphase digital modem is not installed in Windows NT, the Install New Modems dialog box appears.
–If the Modems Properties dialog box appears, click Add to display the Install New Modems dialog box.
3.On the Install New Modems dialog box, click Next.
