displayed port number as the first digital modem COM
port, select the port number to be used instead.
The COM port name indicates the number of the 5536
WAN board in the machine (starting at 0) and the port
number on the board (starting at 01). The first digit is for
the board number; the second and third digits are for the
port number.
For example, COM001 indicates the first 5536 WAN
board (0) in the machine, and the first port (01) on the
board. COM324 indicates the fourth 5536 WAN board
(3), and the twenty-fourth port (24).
The Serial driver will emulate the number of COM ports
specified in Step
1 , starting with the selected first port,
and assign them to the board’s modems.

To specify that no COM ports be emulated, select 0 in the
Digital Modems field. This selection removes the Serial
driver.
If you need to change default calling properties for the digital
modem ports, you can click the Call Setup button to access the
Call Setup dialog box. See
Setting Up Call Properties on page
101 for information.
Also, depending on the applications you use with modems,
you might need to use Windows NT to identify (declare) Serial
driver digital modems to the operating system so the modems
can be detected when needed. For detailed information about
declaring and verifying the digital modems in Windows NT,
see
Managing Serial Driver COM Ports on page 109 .
