(Note: If you are using the default Play-N-Play jumper settings and not manu-

ally configuring the COM Port and IRQ jumpers, the following step may be

skipped. Refer back to this area only if Plug-N-Play cannot successfully con-

figure your modem.)

The modem will need one IRQ (interrupt) and one COM Port to function. To

check for any available interrupts in your system, go to 

Start-Settings-Con-

trol Panel

. Double-click the 

System

 icon and select the 

Device Manager

tab. Click the 

Properties

 button to view the 

System Resources

. There are 16

(0-15) interrupts available in a system. Make a note of any interrupt not listed.

If you do not have any free interrupts you may need to disable an existing

device that you are not currently using, such as COM2 on your motherboard.

This will free up I/O port 0x2F8 and IRQ 3.

To disable COM2, boot your system and enter your BIOS setup. You can

normally invoke the BIOS setup menu by pressing a key or a combination of

keys at the first boot up screen. Some of the common keys are

 Del

F1

F2

,

Ctrl+Alt+S

Ctrl+Alt+Esc

. If none of the mentioned key combinations work,

please refer to your computer system manual for instructions on how to in-

voke the BIOS setup. (note: if your system uses a serate I/O Card, use the

card’s jumpers to disable a COM Port.)

Once inside the BIOS setup, find the menu for 

integrated peripherals

, locate

the COM port settings, then disable COM2 or Comport B. If unsure, please

consult your computer users manual. 

Be sure to Save the settings before

exiting the BIOS Setup. 

The computer will then reboot. Set your modem’s

jumpers to COM 2 - IRQ 3 (See 

Jumper Settings

 in the 

Installing the Mo-

dem

 section for jumper setting diagrams.).

You will also need to disable the COM Port from the device manager. Go to

Start-Settings-Control Panel 

double-click on the 

System 

icon, select

 

the

Device Manager 

tab.

 

Double-click the 

Ports (COM & LPT)

 icon to expand

the 

Ports

 tree and highlight 

Communication Port (COM2)

. Now click on

the 

Properties

 button. Put a Check mark in 

Disable in this hardware profile

(Windows 95 OEM SR2 only) or uncheck 

Original Configuration (cur-

rent)  (

for Windows 95 or Windows 95a). Exit Windows 95 and 

restart

 your

system. (Note: If COM 3 and or COM 4 are present and you have nothing

installed on these ports, delete them first before deleting COM 2).

•

(Note: If you are not familiar with changing the settings within your system

BIOS setup, you should skip the following system preinstallation procedure

and go to the 

Installing the Modem

 section. Refer back to this area only if

you have a  problem  installing the modem.)
