Verifying the Windows 95/98/Me Configuration

Windows assigns an interrupt request (IRQ) number for your modem. Because the number of IRQs is limited, a computer with several accessories may not have an available IRQ for your new modem. In that case, you may have to decide which of your other accessories you can modify or do without.

Be aware that resource settings should be changed only by users with expert knowl- edge of computer hardware and hardware configurations.

Note: Changing resource settings improperly can disable your hardware and can cause your computer to malfunction or be inoperable.

1.Click Start Settings Control Panel. Double-click the System icon.

2.When the System Properties dialog box appears, click the Device Manager tab. A list of device types appears.

5.Click the Resources tab and note the Conflicting Device list. If there is a conflict between your modem and another device in your computer, the information ap- pears here. For help in resolving a conflict, click Start Help, and then search the Help index for the Hardware Conflict Troubleshooter. When finished, click OK to exit the System Properties dialog box.

6.In Control Panel, double-click the Modems icon.

7.When the Modems Properties dialog box appears, click the Diagnostics tab. A list of ports and devices appears.

8.Highlight the COM port associated with the MT5634ZPX-PCI-V92. Click More Info. Clicking More Info causes Windows to send commands to and receive re- sponses from the modem. The system also displays information about the mo- dem’s COM port.
