Setting Up Serial Driver COM Ports
During software installation, eight Serial COM driver ports are
assigned to the board. The Serial driver can emulate from 0 to
30 COM ports to be used by the digital modems on the board.
You can change the Serial driver COM port assignment using
the WAN Adapters Setup utility. For information about
assigning Serial driver COM ports to the board, see
Setting Up
Card Properties on page 77 .
Declaring Serial Driver Modems in
Windows NT
Depending on the applications you use with modems, you
might need to use Windows NT to identify (declare) Serial
driver digital modems to the operating system so the modems
can be detected when needed. For example, to use the board’s
digital modems with certain fax applications, you need to
declare the modems on Serial driver ports in Windows NT.
To declare the board’s Serial driver modems, install the
modems on the appropriate Serial driver COM port(s), as
follows:
1. From the Windows NT Start menu, select Settings, and
then Control Panel.
2. Double-click the Modems icon.
– If an Interphase digital modem is not installed in
Windows NT, the Install New Modems dialog box
appears.
– If the Modems Properties dialog box appears, click
Add to display the Install New Modems dialog box.
3. On the Install New Modems dialog box, click Next.
