Troubleshooting B-4
Resolving Hardware
Conflicts
Hardware conflicts may occur when two or more peripheral devices are set to use the same I/O
address, IRQ line or DMA channel. This section provides ways to resolve hardware conflicts in
Windows 95/98.
In Windows 95/98
To resolve conflicts in Windows 95/98, change the resource settings of your modem or the
conflicting peripheral device in your system using Device Manager.
To run Device Manager:
1. Right-click the
My Computer
icon on your Windows 95/98 desktop, and then select
Properties
.
2. In the
System Properties
dialog box, click the
Device Manager
tab.
A list of system devices is displayed.
3. Double-click the
Modem
icon.
4. Select your modem, and then click the
Properties
button.
5. In the
Properties
dialog box, click the
Resources
tab.
6. Select the
Use Automatic Settings
check box.
If this check box is already selected, you need to go to the
Properties
dialog box of the
conflicting peripheral device and select the same check box there.
7. Reboot your system to allow Windows 95/98 to reassign resources to your modem and/or
the conflicting peripheral device.
General Q&A
Where can I locate the AT Command set for my Modem Blaster?
The AT Command set can be found on your Software and Modem Installation CD under the file
name of ATCOMM.TXT.
Which “off the shelf” communication software package can I use with the Modem Blaster?
If you are unsure of the settings
of any conflicting peripheral
devices, you can isolate the
source of the problem by
temporarily removing all devices
(except your modem and
essential devices such as the disk
controller). After that, add the
devices back one at a time until
the device that is causing the
conflict is found.
