OSMKPNPC - ENABLING COM.SYS DEVICE DRIVER TO WORK WITH PNP MODEM CARDS
12/03/96
=======================================================================
Enabling COM.SYS Device Driver to Work with PnP Modem Cards
=======================================================================
Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures
--------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION
The COM.SYS device driver does not always automatically detect PnP
(Plug and Play) modem cards.
RESOLUTION
To correctly configure the COM.SYS device driver for PnP modem
cards, do the following:
1. Query the system for detected settings of the adapter by
typing the following from an OS/2 command prompt:
RMVIEW /DC | MORE
2. Search this list for the PnP modem card.
3. Look for the IRQ and I/O Resources that are used by the PnP modem
card. For example, you might see:
Detected Hardware Function: My 288 V.34 DATA + FAX
PnP Device ID: XXX1234
PnP Compatible Device ID: none
I/O = 0X03E8 Len = 8 Flg = EXCLUSIVE Addr Lines = 16
IRQ Level = 15 PCI Pin = NONE Flg = EXCLUSIVE
4. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file and update the parameters for the COM.SYS
device driver. For example, using the example in step 3, to
configure the modem for COM3, I/O address 3E8, and IRQ level 15,
change the statement to:
DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\COM.SYS (3,3E8,15)
5. For more information on the parameters for COM.SYS, type the
following at an OS/2 command prompt:
HELP COM.SYS
