CHAPTER 6: Troubleshooting The modem is noisy when it dials and connects When your modem tries to connect to another modem, it begins handshaking. Handshaking is a digital "getting acquainted" conversation between the two modems that establishes connection speeds and communication protocols.

To turn down the modem volume: 1 Click (Start), then click Control Panel. The Control Panel window opens. 2 Click Hardware and Sound, then click Phone and Modem Options. The Phone and Modem Options dialog box opens. 3 Click the Modems tab, click the modem you want to adjust, then click Properties. 4 Click the Modem tab, then adjust the Speaker volume control. 5 Click OK twice to close the Phone and Modem Options dialog box.
