4.3 Installing The PC Card Fax/Modem
The following instructions explain how to install the fax/modem into a PC
computer. If you will be installing the fax/modem into a different computer,
refer to the manual that came with your computer or contact your computer
dealer for instructions.
1. Your fax/modem is factory set at COM4 and IRQ 3. This setting should
work in most cases. To set the fax/modem to other COM port and IRQ
combinations, refer to Section 3.1 of this manual.
NOTE:
In PC envir onment, two ser ial devices configur ed to use the same
COM por t or IRQ may conflict. Existing multi- I/O car d usually
occupies COM1 and COM2 using IRQ4 and IRQ3 r espectively. For
maximum flexibility, your fax/modem suppor ts sever al IRQs. However ,
IRQs other than 3 and 4 should be used only if you have no other choice.
Not all PCs and DOS pr ogr ams suppor t higher IRQs. Check with your
PC dealer or PC manual for mor e infor mation.
2. Turn off the computer. No power must be applied to your computer when
you install the internal fax/modem, or the computer could be damaged.
3. Make sure you can freely access the back of the personal computer.
Remove the computer cover.
4. Select any available half-card slot into which you can install the internal
fax/modem.
5. Unscrew and remove the slot cover.
6. Hold the internal fax/modem above the slot you have selected, and
carefully slide the fax/modem into the slot, applying even pressure to both
ends of the fax/modem. Stop inserting the fax/modem when its
gold-plated edge connector is aligned and fully seated into the base of the
computer.
