Plug and Play Feature
Your new modem features Plug and Play installation, the fastest, easiest way to add new devices to your PC.
Plug and Play allows a computer to configure the modem's settings automatically. Your computer sets the optimal
configuration for the modem and your software applications automatically adjust to that configuration.
Most operating systems, including Windows 95, support Plug and Play. Configuring your new modem with
Windows 95 is addressed near the end of this chapter.
Consult your software manual or computer manufacturer to see whether your system supports the Plug and Play
features.
Once your system sets the configuration, it will use this configuration every time you turn on your machine.
In order to activate the Plug and Play feature with your modem, you must take off all the contacts on the COM port
and IRQ jumpers on the modem. You will be able to tell which COM port your modem has been set to by having
your communications software search for the COM port. Later sections of this chapter will explain how to locate
and change the COM port and IRQ settings.
Locating the Jumpers
Using the drawing of the modem to the right, find where the COM port and IRQ jumpers are located on your
modem.
