IBM ISA Plug and Play Modem Windows NT Installation

Please refer to your manual for information on selecting an open IO port
and IRQ.  Please note that since Windows NT 4.0 does not support
"Plug and Play" operation, the modem must have its jumpers set prior
to installation.  Use one of the recommended jumper settings for the modem
that are shown in your manual.

Once the modem jumpers have been configured, you should install the
modem in an open ISA slot and then turn on your NT computer
(Workstation or Server).  Once you are booted click on the START button
then move to Settings and then Control Panel to load the Windows NT
Control Panel.

Once you have opened the Control Panel double click on the Modem icon.
This will allow you to select the installation of a new modem.
Note that it is recommended that if you have previous modems installed
you should remove them all from the Control Panel Modem icon and start
at the beginning of this document at the START button in the main screen.

Just click on NEXT to begin modem detection.

Once the detection finds the modem it will begin to query the modem
looking for configuration information that could be identified in
existing INF's in NT.

If NT doesn't find any existing INF files with the modem information it
is looking for, it will automatically select a "Standard Modem".

At this point you need to select the CHANGE button.

Now, you will need to select the HAVE DISK button.

At this point you need to put your Support Diskette provided with the
modem into your diskette drive and click on the OK button.  The
detection should see the INF on the disk, and you will get a screen
showing the IBM ISA Plug and Play Data/Fax Modems.

Select Your modem (IBM 33600 Fax Internal or IBM 56000 Fax Internal).
and then click on the OK button.

Now click the NEXT button, and you should receive a message from
Windows NT that the modem has been set up successfully.

At this point click on the FINISH button, which will then let you
edit the Modem Properties.  You may now exit this screen, and you
are finished.

IBM ISA Plug and Play Modem OS/2 Installation Hint

In ALL versions of OS/2, when the modem is installed as COM3 or
COM4, the CONFIG.SYS file needs to be modified.  The serial
communications driver, COM.SYS, is designed to support COM1 and
COM2 with no modifications.  In order for COM3 and COM4 to
be used, you must modify the line in the OS/2 CONFIG.SYS
file that reads:

   DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\COM.SYS

by adding a parameter.  This parameter will consist of
three items, separated by a comma.  The three items are:

a.  COM port number
b.  Modem base I/O address
c.  Modem interrupt

For COM3 and IRQ4, the statement would read:

   DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\COM.SYS (3,3E8,4)

For COM4 and IRQ5, the statement would read:

   DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\COM.SYS (4,2E8,5)

Note that the modification to COM.SYS must also be
performed under WARP 4.0 PnP operation, if PnP
assigns the modem to COM3 or COM4.
