Modem installation
The Internet has revolutionized our era and in order to hook up to the net, the primary device required is a modem. A modem is a phone line that connects to the computer and can serve as multiple purposes; however. The most well known purpose for a modem is for the Internet. Most people think that installing a modem is a complex feat. Though In reality, it is really not. Installing a modem consists of two major parts and if I can learn these easy steps than anyone can. The first major step to installing a modem is the collection of all the tools. To commence, you should go to an electronics store and purchase a modem. I personally recommend going to Best Buy or Comp USA. The technology so far has authorized the modem speed to go from 28.8k all the way to 56k and, of course, the higher the speed is the higher the price. Decent quality 56k modems usually range from somewhere between $110 to $130 dollars. I prefer getting a higher quality modem, for it will last longer. Anyway, at the store ask the employee to direct you to the aisle of the modems. After inquiring all the modems, pick the one you like best. You also can ask the employees for their opinion. After purchasing the modem, you will then need a Phil
Once finished with the hardware work, all you have to do now is simply plug all the computer plugs back in, and if you had a desktop model, place the monitor back on top of the computer. Next, turn the computer and monitor on. You are now ready to use your new modem. The next major step to installing a modem is to secure it inside the computer and prepare it for use. Before actually starting, make sure the power of the computer is turned off and that it isn't plugged in. if the computer had been left on, turn it off, unplug it, and wait a few minutes. This will cause the circuits inside the computer to discharge their electricity. After this step is completed, the next step is to open the computer. If you have a desktop model, there the monitor is on top of the computer, you will have to remove the monitor so it won't be on top of the computer. If you have a tower model, then the previous step is not for you. In every computer, in order for you to remove the top steel layer, you will have to press and hold some kind of button or flap, it all depends on the type of computer you have. During this whole process of removing the steel covering, the button must be pressed and held. So find the button, hold it, and while doing this, pull the cover towards you and it should easily slide off. After this step is completed, you should now be able to see the inside of the computer. Take a minute to view everything and how it looks. As you are looking inside, also take a look at the back of the computer and you will see slots. Some of the slots might be used up for one device or another such as sound cards or TV tuners. However, some slots should still remain. These slots are called COM ports. Usually computers come with 3 or 4 COM ports. If the COM port is unoccupied it will have a covering over it. a number designates every COM port. The top COM port is number one, the next one to the bottom is number two and so on. The next step is to pick a COM port which is not already occupied. I suggest picking the first port from the top that is vacant. For example, let's say the COM port number 1 and 2 are already occupied, you will then want to pic
