138 Exploring Your Options Setting up for communications 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 Open the Start menu, and click Control Panel. 2 Click Printers and Other Hardware. 3 Click Phone and Modem Options. The Phone and Modem Options Properties dialog box displays. 4 Fill in the Local Information text boxes and click OK. 5 Click the Modems tab. Your modem should be listed next to one of the computer's COM ports. 6 Make a note of the COM port number. 7 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. 8 Click the Diagnostics tab, and then click Query Modem. Windows XP communicates with the modem and displays identifying information reported by the modem. If Windows XP cannot communicate with the modem, it displays an error message. Consult the troubleshooting sections of your modem and Windows XP documentation. 9 Click OK to close the properties dialog box for that specific modem. 10 Click OK to close the Modem Properties dialog box.
