Sportster Winmodem 33600 & x2/56K - User's manual 15
Using the Modem
Installation Test
Follow this procedure to check that the modem works correctly.
1. Turn the computer on.
2. Load and run the communications software.
Check the software installation manual for further
information. Do not be alarmed when a DOS-
based hardware diagnostic tool does not detect
the presence of your new modem. The new
architecture of Sportster Winmodem 33600 &
x2/56K is unknown to many comtest programs and
DOS-based tools.
3. In the software, set the serial port rate to 9.600
bits per second (bps) for a V.22 bis modem,
19.200 bps for a V.32 bis modem, 57.600 bps for a
V.34 model, 57.600 bps (115.200 bps if available)
for a V.34+ model (in some software, this is
referred to as the 'baud rate’). The modem will
automatically detect this setting when you send a
command to it.
4. Specify the serial communications port used by the
modem: COM1, COM2 or other.
5. Set the data format to an 8-bit length with no parity
or to a 7-bit length with even or odd parity — either
one will do — and 1 stop bit.
