The correct answer is: B. The modem has not been set up in control panel properties.
When you install a new modem, it is important to set it up in the Control Panel properties. This will allow the modem to communicate with your computer and the phone line. To do this, follow these steps:
- Open the Control Panel.
- Click on “Network and Sharing Center.”
- Click on “Change adapter settings.”
- Right-click on the modem and select “Properties.”
- Click on the “Advanced” tab.
- In the “Port Settings” section, make sure that the “Port Speed” is set to the correct value.
- Click on “OK” and then “Close.”
If you have not set up your modem in the Control Panel properties, it will not be able to dial out.
Option A is incorrect because the port speed is not set too high. The port speed is the rate at which data is transferred between the modem and the computer. The default port speed is 56 kbps, but you can change it to a higher speed if your modem supports it.
Option C is incorrect because the phone line is plugged into the line-in port on the modem card. The line-in port is used to connect an external audio device, such as a microphone or a speaker. The phone line should be plugged into the phone port on the modem card.
Option D is incorrect because the phone line out of the wall is plugged into the phone port on the modem card. This is the correct way to connect the phone line to the modem.
Option E is incorrect because the modem has not been set up in the Control Panel properties. This is the most likely cause of the problem.
