To see what UART your serial port uses if you have Windows 3.1x, in Program
Manager select File | Run, type MSD, and press E
NTER
. Select COM Ports to see
the UART type. If you have Windows 95 or 98, select Start | Settings | Control
Panel
, and double-click on the Modems icon. In the Modems Properties dialog
box, click the Diagnostics tab, click the port the modem is connected to, and
click More Info to see the UART type. Note that both programs will identify a
14550 UART as an 8250A UART. If you have an 80386 or later computer, your
UART is most likely a 14550 or 16550AFN.
7. If the software has an autobaud selection, make sure it is disabled. Autobaud
applies only to older modems, and can cause problems if enabled.
8. If the software allows you to edit the no-connect messages (NO CARRIER,
BUSY, NO ANSWER, NO DIALTONE), make sure there is no space between
DIAL and TONE in NO DIALTONE.
9. Refer to the software manual or online help for other configuration choices; in
most cases you can accept the default values.
Step 4: Call the Multi-Tech BBS
You can test the modem’s data functions by calling the Multi-Tech bulletin board
system (BBS) and downloading REGISTER.DOC, if you have Microsoft Word 6.0 or
later, or REGISTER.TXT if you do not.
