139 Exploring Your Computer's Features Setting up for communications Determining the COM port Your modem (available on certain models) is connected to one of the computer's COM (communications) ports. The default setting for the modem is COM3. The following procedure is intended to support you if you need to either upgrade your modem or reset the port to the default settings. If you are having trouble connecting through the modem, you may need to determine the current COM port name and possibly change it. To find out which port your modem is connected to: 1 Click Start, Control Panel, Printers and Other Hardware, and then Phone and Modem Options. The Phone and Modem Options Properties dialog box displays. 2 Click the Modems tab. Your modem should be listed next to one of the computer's COM ports. 3 Make a note of the COM port number. 4 To verify that the modem is set up properly, select the modem you wish to check, and then click Properties to bring up the dialog box with information specific to that modem. The Windows operating system communicates with the modem and displays identifying information reported by the modem. If the Windows operating system cannot communicate with the modem, it displays an error message. Consult the troubleshooting sections of your modem and Windows operating system documentation. 5 Click OK to close the properties dialog box for that specific modem. 6 Click OK to close the Modem Properties dialog box. 7 Close the Control Panel.
