TESTING THE MODEM

Before you run the Remote Access Program, be sure that the computer
is running correctly and that the modem is installed and working
properly.
To Test the Modem:
Windows Control Panel can be used to test the modem and determine
what COM port it is connected to.
✦ Press START, SETTINGS, CONTROL PANEL. Double-click on
MODEMS.
✦ Verify that a modem is shown in the Modem Properties window.
✦ Click on the DIAGNOSTICS tab. The modem installed with the
COM port highlighted should be shown.
✦ Note the COM port information. It is used when setting COM port in
the Communications Setup window (see Section 3.1).
✦ Test the modem by pressing the MORE INFO... button. IF THE
MODEM IS CONNECTED AND WORKING PROPERLY, THE
"MORE INFO" WINDOW WILL DISPLAY DETAILED MODEM
INFORMATION. If the modem is not working properly, Windows will
notify you.
