Make sure that your internal modem is physically installed correctly in your computer. You will need to press the modem in firmly so that it is seated properly in its slot. When the modem is installed correctly, you will no longer see any part of the black edge. See the front of this guide for complete instructions. If your modem still does not work, with your computer off, remove the modem and reinstall it in another slot if possible. PROBLEM: My computer isn't recognizing my modem. Possible solution: You may be using an IRQ that is already in use. To work properly, your modem needs to be assigned to a free IRQ. Windows 2000 If you set your modem's jumpers to Plug-and-Play mode, Windows should locate a free IRQ, if one exists, for your use by your modem. If Plug-and-Play fails to install the modem, you need to determine IRQ availability. Right-click the My Computer icon on your desktop. Click Properties, and then the Hardware tab. In the Device Manager section, click Device Manager. From the View menu, select Resources by type. You will now see a listing of your system's IRQs and the devices to which they are assigned. [. . . ] NOTICE: The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all devices does not exceed 5. The Ringer Equivalence Number is located on the bottom of the modem. NOTICE: The Industry Canada (IC) label identifies certified equipment. [. . . ]
