Your modem (available on certain models) is connected to 
one of the computer’s COM (communications) ports. The 
default setting for the modem is COM3.

The following procedure is intended to support you if you 
need to either upgrade your modem or reset the port to the 
default settings.

If you are having trouble connecting through the modem, you 
may need to determine the current COM port name and 
possibly change it.

To find out which port your modem is connected to:

Click Start, and then Control Panel.

Click Printers and Other Hardware.

Click Phone and Modem Options.

The Phone and Modem Options Properties dialog box 
displays.

Fill in the Local Information text boxes and click OK.

Click the Modems tab.

Your modem should be listed next to one of the computer’s 
COM ports.

Make a note of the COM port number.

To verify that the modem is set up properly, select the 
modem you wish to check, and then click Properties to 
bring up the dialog box with information specific to that 
modem.

The Windows operating system communicates with the 
modem and displays identifying information reported by 
the modem. If the Windows operating system cannot 
communicate with the modem, it displays an error 
message. Consult the troubleshooting sections of your 
modem and Windows operating system documentation.
