Examples:
1. To configure the faxmodem for COM 4 and IRQ 10, type:
portwiz 2e8 10
and press Enter. If this combination works, then put this line
in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file and remember to edit the
[386Enh] section of your SYSTEM.INI file as well. Add the
lines:
COM3Base=2e8h
COM3Irq=10
You do not need to reboot in order to start using your
faxmodem immediately in either DOS or Windows.
2. To configure the faxmodem to the same COM port and IRQ,
but have PORTWIZ edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT and
SYSTEM.INI files for you, type:
portwiz 2e8 10 /w
and press Enter. The /w activated the Wizard mode, which
handles the file changes automatically.
3. If you are unsure of which IRQ to use, you can instruct
PORTWIZ to try a series of IRQs in sequence. Use only
IRQs 12, 11, 15, 10, 7, and 5 in that order. You may specify
any or all of them in this example. You also may use the /w
switch to activate the Wizard mode.
To set the faxmodem to COM 2 and test IRQs 12, 11, 7, and
5 in the Wizard mode, type:
portwiz 2f8 12 11 7 5 /w
and
press
Enter. Note there are no commas, but the spaces
are required.
4. If you type:
portwiz
and press Enter without typing any arguments, PORTWIZ
displays a list of instructions on the screen.
