The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 6.1 for DOS
Problem
When the user is configuring the fax drivers using the setup utility, they are unable to select the correct IRQ that corresponds to their Com Port. For example: the modem needs to be configured for Com 3 IRQ 5, but the utility only allows Com 3 IRQ 4. |
Answer:
The following steps show how to configure for Non-Standard Base Addresses and IRQ's. Please make sure that the modem is set to the desired Com port and IRQ before proceeding with the setup. The following steps are specific to Utility Version 3.0. Older versions may be slightly different. 1. Change to the directory where the fax files are installed. (Normally the WP60, WP61, or WP51 directories) 2. Type Setup at the dos prompt and press Enter. This launches the setup utility. 3. Press Enter to continue to the main menu. Select item 2, Hardware Driver Setup. 4. With the Com port section highlighted, press the space bar until the selection says User. 5. Press Enter to move to the Base Address section. 6. Type in the new base address. The default base addresses are: Com 1 = 03f8; Com 2 = 02f8; Com 3 03e8; Com 4 02e8 For example: If the modem is set to Com 3 the base address must be set to 03e8. 7. Press Enter to move to the IRQ section. 8. Type in the new IRQ address. You are limited to IRQ's 2-7. 9. Press F10 until you are returned to the DOS prompt. 10. Reboot or unload and reload Faxdir. To unload Faxdir type: Faxdir /r and then type Faxdir to reload. The user should now be able to fax using the set Com port and IRQ. |
