If Something Goes Wrong
Resolving a hardware conflict
Check the port settings to make sure the hardware and software are
referring to the same COM port. See “Determining the COM port”
on page 119.
Check the communications parameters (baud rate, parity, data
length and stop bits) specified in the communications program. It
should be set up to transmit at 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 14400,
28800, 33600 bps (bits per second) or higher. Refer to the
program’s documentation and the modem manual for information
on how to change these settings.
The modem is on, set up properly but still does not transmit
or receive data.
Make sure the line has a dial tone. Connect a telephone handset to
the line to check this.
The other system may be busy or off line. Try making a test
transmission to someone else.
For more information regarding your system’s V.92 modem, visit
