Can I tell if the Global Village TelePort Modem is connected and the Global Village fax software is installed properly without sending a fax?
Yes. From the TelePort Modem Control Panel, you can confirm proper installation of both the modem and the software.

1) Open the TelePort control panel

2) Click the Select port icon

3) Change the port by selecting the modem or printer icon that is not highlighted

If the incorrect port is selected, the volume slider bar dims. If the incorrect port is selected, switch it back by following steps 2 and 3. When the proper port is selected, you can move the volume slider bar. This indicates that the Global Village TelePort software is installed properly, and the modem is properly connected to your Power Computer.
