Troubleshooting Charts Problem My PC Card modem does not work. I cannot use PC Cards other than IBM ones in the OS/2 Warp environment. Action Make sure that the infrared port is disabled and the modem is set up correctly. Make sure that the COM port you set for the modem with the ThinkPad Configuration program is the same in the following procedure and that there is no resource conflict. For Windows 95: To set up the modem, do the following: 1. Click on Start and move the cursor to Settings and Control Panel. 2. Click on Control Panel, and then double-click on Modem. The "Modem Properties" window appears. 3. Make sure the PC Card (PCMCIA) modem is in the window. 4. Click on Properties, not Dialing Properties. 5. Click on the Connection tab. 6. Remove the check mark ( ) in the Wait for dial tone before dialing box if it is checked. 7. Click on Advanced. 8. If there is a check mark ( ) in the Use error control box, click and remove it. 9. Add a check mark ( ) to the Use flow control by clicking on the box and make sure that the Hardware (RTS/CTS) is selected. 10. Close the window by clicking on OK. 11. Return to the "Modem Properties" window by clicking on OK. 12. Click on Dialing Properties in the "Modem Properties" window, and fill in all boxes. Note: Click on either Tone dialing or Pulse dialing. Most telephones today use tone dialing. 13. Click on OK. 14. Click on Close to close the window. 15. Close all active windows. Run your modem application again. If you do not have the PC Card device driver for OS/2 but you have one for DOS, your PC Card might run in the VDM (virtual DOS machine) environment. Refer to "Virtual Card Services" for setting the VDM and the sample configuration files on the PCMCIA Installation Diskette for OS/2, Windows 95. (If the PCMCIA Installation Diskette for OS/2, Windows 95 did not come with the computer, create it using the Diskette Factory program.) 152 IBM ThinkPad 380XD/385XD User's Guide
