Windows 2000 and XP do not detect the Dial-out COM port when adding a modem.

Issue:
Windows 2000 and XP do not detect the Dial-out COM port when adding a modem.

Cause:
During the Windows bootup the OS did not detect any devices attached to the Dial-out COM port.

Solution:

Check your Dial-out configuration.

Start the Dial-out Client
Select the Client option on the menubar
Select Client Properties
Select the Server tab, and the Dialout Client will search for your Perle servers.
If a Perle server is found you can select it and view the available resources. You should see the ports/channels are in a Available state.

On the 833 RAS the modem attached must be raising DSR to be available or the Dial-out Client will display the port as OUT. Check your modem and modem cable.

On the 833AS or 833IS ensure that the unit has the supported modem resources.
