The modem is not recognized by the computer
■
Make sure the line connected to the modem is working and plugged into
the appropriate port on the modem. See “Connecting the modem” on
page 28 to make sure that the connections have been made correctly.
■
If the modem shares the telephone line with another device, make sure
the telephone line is not in use (for example, someone is on the
telephone, or another modem is in use).
■
Use the modem cable that came with your computer. Some telephone
cables do not meet required cable standards and may cause problems with
the modem connection.
■
Shut down and restart your computer.
■
Run Windows modem diagnostics.
