Aptiva - Configuring Windows Terminal to recognize the modem
Applicable to: World-Wide
This article applies to Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.0, 3.0a, and 3.1.
If you are having difficulty with the Microsoft Windows Terminal program recognizing the installed modem, the COM ports may not be configured properly. Terminal's communications settings should match the COM port's actual settings and also match the Control Panel Ports settings in Windows.
To set up COM ports for Terminal, follow these steps:
1. Verify that the modem can communicate with DOS communication software outside of Windows.
2. Start Windows and open Terminal from the Accessories Group.
3. From the Settings menu choose Communications.
4. Select the appropriate COM port and settings. Standard settings are 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and Xon/Xoff flow
control. Ensure that the correct Baud rate is selected.
5. From the Settings menu choose Modem Commands. Check to see that the correct modem type is selected.
6. Try dialing by choosing Dial from the Phones menu and entering a phone number.
7. If you are unsuccessful (that is if no modem commands appear on screen), open Control Panel and choose the Ports icon.
8. Select the port in question and select Settings.
9. Verify that the port's COM settings are the same as those of Terminal. Baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits, and flow
control should be the same in both Terminal and Control Panel. If you are using Windows 3.1, choose the Advanced
button. Check the Base I/O address and IRQ settings to ensure that they are compatible with your modem.
10. Exit and restart Windows to make the changes take effect.
11. Return to Terminal and redial.
12. If problems persist and Windows is running in 386 Enhanced mode, define each COM port's base I/O address and
interrupt.
