Notes on connecting the telephone line and telephone

Before using the modem, you need to connect your telephone line and telephone to the modem card.
To ensure that your modem works properly, know that:
• Your modem cannot be used on “party lines”, nor can it be used on toll or coin­operated lines. Contact your local telephone company for help if you are not sure about the suitability of your telephone line.
• This modem is intended for use on an analog telephone line, also called a POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) line. This modem cannot be connected directly to a digital telephone line, such as those commonly found in businesses. Either obtain an analog line or an analog converter compatible with the telephone line you are using.

Resolving Hardware Conflicts

Resolving Conflicts
in Windows 98 SE/
Me
If you are unsure of which peripheral device is causing the conflict, you can isolate the source of the problem by temporarily removing all devices (except your modem and essential devices such as the disk controller). After that, add the devices back one at a time until the device that is causing the conflict is found.
Hardware conflicts may occur when two or more peripheral devices are set to use the same I/O address, IRQ line or DMA channel.
To resolve conflicts in Windows 98 SE, Windows 2000, Windows Me or Windows XP, change the resource settings of your modem or the conflicting peripheral device using Device Manager.

Problems with Your Modem

The modem fails to accept commands to dial or answer a call.
There may be an improper telephone line connection.
Check the following:
• Make sure the telephone cable is attached to the Telephone Line Jack.
• Check that all devices are turned on.
There is interference on the telephone line that is connected to the modem.
To solve this problem:
Try moving the telephone line away from any power source, monitor, printer or any computer cable.
Troubleshooting B-3
The modem cannot connect to the Internet at 56,000 bps.
This may be due to line conditions in your area. Due to FCC regulations and/or line conditions, it is not always possible to achieve the maximum data rate.
To solve this problem:
Try moving the telephone line away from any power source, monitor, printer or computer cable.
The modem or communications software fails to detect that the remote user has hung up.
The modem or communications software relies on the dial tone, busy tone or silence period to detect that a remote user has hung up. This detection may fail due to one of the following reasons:
• Your local telephone system does not generate the dial or busy tone when the remote user hangs up.
• The silent period for the modem or communications software to detect that the remote user has hung up is not long enough.
• The modem or communications software cannot detect a different dial or busy tone. For example, if you are connecting to a PABX system, the dial or busy tone generated is different from the usual dial or busy tone.
To solve this problem:
Prompt the remote user to respond. This may, however, result in a long delay before the communications software responds to the remote user hanging up. To minimize this delay, modify the following settings:
• Voice message recording time.
• Number of prompts.
• Time to wait for a response after prompting.
Troubleshooting B-4
No dial tone when using the modem.
The IRQ of the modem is either in conflict with another device or is mis-reported in Windows.
To solve this problem:
Many chipsets have IRQ routing drivers for Windows. If you have an internal modem, and these drivers do not work or do not exist on your system, insert the modem card into a different PCI slot.
Problems with Modem-On­Hold
Internet connection is lost after incoming phone calls.
This may be caused by the following reasons:
• Modem-On-Hold is not enabled.
• Your phone line is not call-waiting enabled.
• Your Internet service provider does not support Modem-On-Hold.
To solve this problem:
• Enable Modem-On-Hold. See “Modem-On-Hold” on page 5-3.
• Contact your telephone service provider to enable call-waiting.
• If your Internet service provider does not support Modem-On-Hold, change your service provider to one that does.
Internet connection is lost after outing phone calls.
This may be caused by the following reasons:
• Modem-On-Hold is not enabled.
• Your phone line is not enabled with the 3-Way Calling feature.
• Your Internet service provider does not support Modem-On-Hold.
To solve this problem:
• Enable Modem-On-Hold. See “Modem-On-Hold” on page 5-3.
• Contact your telephone service provider to enable the 3-Way Calling feature. Note: Please note that your service provider may charge you for this feature.
• If your Internet service provider does not support Modem-On-Hold, change your service provider to one that does.
