Open Phone and Modem Options in Control Panel.

On the Modems tab, click the modem you want to configure, and then click Properties.

On the Modem tab, in the Maximum Port Speed list, click the speed for the modem.

Notes

To open Phone and Modem Options, click Start, click Control Panel, click Printers and Other Hardware, and then click Phone and Modem Options.

This value is usually set correctly when the modem is installed.

This speed represents the maximum speed that programs are allowed to transmit data to the modem, and is normally faster than the modem speed. For example, this is usually set to 57,600 bps for a 33.6 Kbps (V.34) modem.

Changing this setting also sets the current speed for the modem. To set a different value for the current speed, click Related Topics for the procedure to change the data connection preferences.

*make sure all modem software is installed
