Connecting Serial Port 1 to the Modem
On systems that have modems and no VTMs, you must change a BIOS setting to
enable Serial Port 1 (also known as Serial Port A) to connect to the modem. Without
this change in the BIOS settings, the system will not allow the internal modem to use
Serial Port 1, and the port will remain available for any other serial port connection.
When performing this procedure from the ftServer Setup utility, use the arrow keys to
navigate within the utility.
You can also change the BIOS setting from ftSMC
while the system is running by
performing the procedure that follows this one.

7. Press Esc, then select Exit Saving Changes and press Enter.
8. At the Setup Confirmation dialog box (with “Yes” highlighted), press Enter to return
to the system boot process.
To change the BIOS setting from ftSMC with the system running
