MANUAL CONFIGURATION

Init String – The init string will automatically be loaded based on the modem you select. If you are using the "Default" modem and the modem fails to work, consult your modem manual or call tech support for your modem in order to obtain the best init string for your modem.

When you call, have the brand of modem and model number available. To enter a custom init string, select "Custom Modem" from the Brand drop down menu. Click on Override Auto. Now you can make a new init string entry.

Port – If the Autoconfig procedure does not locate your modem, click on the Override Auto button. Use this only with the Override Auto feature. Use the drop down menu to indicate the port, which contains your modem card. If you do not know what port your modem uses, you will have to ask your tech support person –OR- L-click on the Windows Start button, select Setup, Control Panel, and L-click on Modems. Your modem should be highlighted. Select Properties button to see your Com Port.
