Testing the Modem

Setup Procedure

If you choose not to reboot after installing the network interface, you must install 

the modem interface manually when Windows 95 discovers the modem.

1 Windows 95 displays a New Hardware Found dialog box and identifies the 

modem interface.

2 Insert the LAN+Modem card Windows 95/98 Installation Disk in the floppy drive.

3 Select the floppy drive as the location of the modem driver files and click NEXT.

4 When configuration is complete, Windows 95 displays the card name, 

3Com 10-100 LAN + 56K Modem PC Card (Modem interface).

5 Click Finish to quit the installation program.

The installation program installs a 3Com Modem Setting application in the Control 

Panel. Use Modem Setting to change COM port assignments for the modem. The 

default is COM5. Change the COM port to a lower number if you are using older 

software that does not recognize COM ports higher than 4.

NOTE: If you remove the LAN+Modem card and reinstall it in another slot, the 

first time Windows 95 rediscovers it in the new location it will start another 

installation.   If the double installation causes problems, uninstall one of the 

occurrences of the card. See “Uninstalling the Card” on page 11.
