How do I check to see that modem properties are set to the correct values (Windows 2000)?

1. Choose Start > Settings > Control Panel to open the Control Panel window.
2. Double click on Phone and Modem Options to open the Phone and Modems Properties window. By selecting the Modems tab, you will see all the modems available on your computer. Select the Motorola Satellite Series Data Modem to highlight it and click Properties.
3. Select the General tab and verify the settings. The Port (COM1 in this case) should identify the port to which you are connecting your Iridium phone via the serial cable. The Maximum Port Speed should be set to 19200.
4. Select the Advanced tab and verify that the "Extra initialization commands:" box is empty.
5. Select Change Default Preferences... to open the Default Preferences window. Select the General tab and verify the settings below. Please note that the disconnect time of 15 minutes is just a suggestion, and this is will not affect connectivity or performance. This will disconnect your connection if there is no traffic and is useful if you forget that you are connected.
