Windows 95/98
Configuring Modems
RocketPort adapters can support any asynchronous serial modem for
use by any application that uses Windows 95/98 COM ports.
Note: There is one exception to this rule: the RocketPort 8J is not
recommended for use with modems, as it lacks the full-range of
control signals. All other RocketPort models work with modems.
RocketModem boards are essentially RocketPort boards with built-in
and dedicated modems. The serial ports are not accessible externally.
Follow these steps to install and configure modems. Exceptions for
RocketModems are called out.
1. If using a RocketPort, connect the modem(s) to the desired port(s).
Power up the modem(s).
2. Open the Control Panel window.
3. Double-click on the Modems icon. The Install New Modem wizard
starts:
4. Check the “Don’t detect my modem” box.
Note: Do not use the auto-detect feature. The Windows modem
auto-detect function does not recognize ports above COM10,
and it scans down, beginning with the highest detected
COM port. This can produce extremely confusing modem-
to-port numbering and naming sequences.
