1. Choose Start➪Control Panel➪Hardware and Sound➪ Device Manager.

2. In the resulting Device Manager window, click the plus sign to the left of the Modems to display installed modem devices. Right-click a modem and choose Properties from the shortcut menu.

3. In the resulting Properties dialog box, click the Modem tab. You can adjust the following settings on this tab sheet:

• Speaker Volume: Adjust the speaker volume or turn it off by using the Speaker Volume slider to control the dialing sound you hear when the modem operates.

• Maximum Port Speed: Adjust this setting by selecting a speed from the drop-down list. This setting determines the speed at which programs can send data to the modem. This is usually set at the correct number when you install the modem.

• Dial Control: Make sure that this check box is selected so your dialing attempts pay off.

4. Click the Driver tab.

You might want to adjust modem speed if you’re using a device that can support higher speeds than your installed modem. A Windows CE device is one example of this.

5. On the resulting Driver tab sheet, click the buttons on the Driver sheet to manage the driver; you can view details about it, upgrade to a newer version, enable or disable it, or uninstall it.

6. Click OK to save your settings.
