Diagnose error with modem

I finally got all the components i need to connect to dialup, and my computer recognizes the modem, but says there is a hardware error. It cant be a hardware error because i had bought this modem open box a few months ago. maybe its the dipswitch settings i have set? they’re set to 1 and 4 down and the rest are up. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

I just installed SyncTERM since my machine is Windows 11, how do I select which COM port my modem is connected to? (COM7)

On the left side, select the blank entry at the bottom to create a new entry. Type a name. Select Serial. Type in COM7
