Changing the Windows 95/98/Me COM port assignment
Unlike an external modem, the MultiModemZPX contains its own serial port. When
Windows detects the MultiModemZPX, it assigns the next available COM port to it.
Since COM1 through COM4 are standard serial ports in Windows computers, Win-
dows typically assigns COM5 to the modem’s serial port.
If Windows assigns the modem to a COM port higher than 4, then certain legacy soft-
ware applications will not recognize the modem. To correct this situation, Multi-Tech
Systems provides two additional driver files on the MultiModemZPX CD that may
be used to reassign the modem to either COM3 or COM4. To reassign the COM port:
1. Insert the MultiModemZPX CD into your computer’s CD-ROM drive.
2. Click Start | Settings | Control Panel. Double-click the System icon.
3. Select the Device Manager tab, and double-click the Modem icon.
4. Double-click MT5634ZPX-PCI-V92 to go to the Properties dialog box.
5. Select the Driver tab. Click the Update Driver button and follow the Update
Device Driver wizard prompts. The wizard requests you to specify the path of
the new driver. If you’d like to reassign your modem to COM3, type D:\COM-
3\pcicom3.inf, where D: is the drive letter associated with your computer’s CD-
ROM drive. If you want to reassign your modem to COM4, type
D:\COM-4\pcicom4.inf and continue with the wizard’s instructions.
6. When the wizard completes its installation, your modem should be reassigned
to the new COM port.
