Troubleshooting Modem Installation
Review this section if any of the following problems occur:
•
Modem initialization errors occur when attempting to dial
out using a communications application.
•
Connection fails or other problems occur.
It may be necessary to define a modem type within your
communications application. If the IBM modem is not listed,
select a "Generic Hayes compatible" device.
If your computer is equipped with an infrared communications
port, you may need to disable this port. These ports often use
COM port resources required for other communications devices.
Disable the infrared port both in the computer's CMOS or BIOS
setup program and the Windows 95 Device Manager, as follows:
Note:
Some computers use a hardware setup utility to
configure the infrared port in the BIOS. See your
computer documentation.
1. To disable the infrared communications port in Windows 95,
go to Control Panel System Device Manager tab.
