Fast,
Easy Modem Installation
WhatCOM is an easy-to-use PC software program that will
reduce serial port and modem setup and installation time to the bare minimum.
WhatCOM gives you a user- friendly menu system and 100K+ of context-sensitive
on-line help to make modem setup and testing very easy, very fast, and very
educational. As shown in the feature list above, WhatCOM gives you all you need
to:
- Prevent and resolve serial IRQ, I/O conflicts
- Find out if a serial port is present and what chip is used
- Find out whether a mouse or modem is attached to the port
- Identify the modem's characteristics and command responses
- Find out if the port and modem send/receive data properly
- Find out if the modem is attached to an active phone line.
Why you need WhatCOM
WhatCOM contains exactly the right mix of testing and information gathering for
you to do a FAST general checkout of serial ports and attached
modems. The end result is: you get your modem setup and installation done fast
and you get the confidence that your serial ports and modems are installed and
working okay. We originally wrote WhatCOM for a major modem manufacturer who was
wasting thousands of dollars per month on unnecessary support phone calls. Now,
other modem manufacturers are looking to bundle the software with their modems
because WhatCOM saves them time and money.
How you Save Time and Money
When you have to install a modem or serial port, you
usually have to set up jumpers or switches to select an I/O address and IRQ
signal through which the system will communicate with the device. If another
device is in the system that already uses those settings, you waste a lot of
time "trying" different settings till you get them right. Sometimes,
you don't find out there is a setting conflict till later when you run some
special software. Then, you have to tear open the system and "try" the
setup again. WhatCOM gives you FAST answers that saves you all that setup and
retry time.
Solve Mystifying Modem Errors!
When you rum communication software on a normal PC with a high-speed modem you
often have problems receiving data. Some data gets "lost"; sometimes
communications hang up, especially when you broadcast FAXes. One reason: the
PC's serial port chip may be a 16450 model, too "slow" to handle the
high-speed data transfer. You may need the newer 16550! WhatCOM shows you which
type of serial port chip is installed and gives you advice on what you need.
Without this information, you may have to tear open the computer to see what
chip is installed, and even then, it may not be marked so you can understand it.
Get Advice, Advanced Information
When you first run WhatCOM, it scans the system for installed serial ports and
displays the status, serial chip type, whether a mouse, modem, or unknown device
is attached, and conflicts detected. Then, it displays a menu of the following
selections:
External/Internal Modem Installation Advice -
- Tells you how you should install internal or external modem, including for
internal and external modems, telling you exactly which standard I/O address
and IRQ to use.
Modem Test -
- Performs data transmission loopback test on serial port chip and modem,
interrupt test on serial chip, self-identify test on modem, and dial tone
test on phone line. Gives troubleshooting advice if a test fails.
Modem Information -
- Analyses capabilities of Hayes-compatible data/FAX modems and AT&T
voice modems. Shows up to 20 return values for modem self-identity tests.
Terminal Tests -
- Lets you send any commands to the serial device (modem, mouse, etc) and
monitor responses in text, ASCII, decimal, or hexadecimal mode. Terminal
emulator shows all serial port registers and status.
View Data Base -
- Self-learning feature lets you save and edit modem characteristics in a
data base so WhatCOM will recognize a non-standard modem immediately next
time.
Check Serial Ports Again -
- Reruns the first test to check serial ports in case you forgot to power on
or attach the modem.
