How to Add a Modem

1. Start Serial Port Manager from the Solstice Launcher, if not done already.

   See the procedure on "How to Start Serial Port Manager" for information about starting Serial Port Manager.

2. Select the port or ports that will be used with a modem from the Serial Port Manager main window.

3. Choose Modify from the Edit menu.

   The Modify window appears in the Basic Detail mode. (For additional details, select either the More or Expert Detail modes.)

4. Choose the modem configuration from the Template menu that meets or most closely matches your modem service.

   The modem template choices are described here.

   Modem Configuration	Description
   Modem - Dial In Only	Users may dial in to the modem but cannot dial out.
   Modem - Dial Out Only	Users may dial out from the modem but cannot dial in.
   Modem - Bidirectional	Users may either dial in or out from the modem.

   See the Reference online help for the default values of each template. If a UUCP service will be used to dial in to your modem on a Solaris 2.x system, see "How to Configure a Modem for Use With UUCP" for the rest of the procedure.

5. Change values of template entries if desired.

6. Click on OK to configure the port.
