Modem Settings
The settings for your modem are pre-installed in the Windows operating system
installed on your computer. In normal circumstances you do not have to make
changes to the modem settings. If you need to make changes follow this procedure:
1.
From the Start menu, select Settings - Control Panel.
2.
Double-click Modems icon. If you cannot find the icon, click view all Control
Panel options to show the icon.
3.
Use the General and Diagnostics tabs to display the settings of your modem
and make changes if necessary.
Power Management
For modem communications it is a good idea to disable any power management that
is running. Uploading or downloading large files can take quite some time and you
might lose data if your computer enters System Stand by/Hibernate in the middle of a
transmission.
