Important Information for Owners of
V.92 Modems
With V.92, as with the earlier V.90 standard, your connection
speed will depend on your phone line and your Internet Service
Provider (ISP). To enhance compatibility, this modem automatically detects whether to use V.92, V.90, or a slower mode when it
connects to your ISP.
QuickConnect:
•
A V.92 modem remembers the line conditions of the last
number called, and uses this information to try to reduce
connection times.
Modem-on-Hold:
•
You have the option of receiving voice calls while online. You
can answer the call and put your Internet session on hold if
your ISP supports this capability and you have Call Waiting
service compatible with the modem.
Faster Upload Speeds:
•
Upload speeds may be increased, from 33.6K bps to a
maximum of 48K bps. (Actual rates will vary, depending on
line conditions.)
V.44 Data Compression:
•
The V.44 standard lets you browse the Web and transfer
data at higher speeds.
To make the most of your V.92 modem, follow these steps:
1.
Contact your ISP and ask for the phone number of a V.92
connection to the ISP.
2.
Check our web site for news of any V.92 updates. If an update is available, follow the directions below for upgrading
your modem.
12Modem User Guide
Modem Upgrades
Your modem’s software, or “firmware,” can be easily upgraded.
This is useful for code updates and feature upgrades. To upgrade your modem’s firmware, you simply download the new
firmware files and then run a program we provide. Because V.92
technology is new, you may want to download the latest firmware
before calling your first V.92 site. Upgrades are available from
our Web site.
We also suggest that you register your modem with us so that we
can notify you via e-mail when new firmware releases are available.

Communicating with your Faxmodem
The faxing and communications software that came with your
faxmodem sets itself up automatically and takes care of sending
any necessary commands to the faxmodem.
You should read this section, however, if you want to learn some
general facts about how software works with your faxmodem, or
if you intend to use your new faxmodem with other software.
Accessing the Internet
To access the Internet and the World Wide Web, you need an
online service such as America Online (AOL) or CompuServe, or
an Internet Service Provider (ISP). The best place to start is the
CD(s) included with your modem package, which contains Internet and online services for you to try.
Online services provide installation software that makes signing
up almost automatic. ISPs typically supply or suggest the
browser software needed to access their service. They also provide additional instructions and software for setting up your account.

Initialization Strings and AT Commands
An initialization string is a group of AT command settings that is
sent to the faxmodem as soon as you start up the software. The
software determines which commands should be included in the
initialization string, based on the device you select during installation. The commands remain in effect throughout the communications session, unless the software sends other commands to
override them.
The software uses other
sent to the modem. This is transparent to you—the software
does this in the background without you having to be aware of it.

Other Troubleshooting Tips
Your modem seems to install under Windows, but Windows
cannot find it later…
If your computer has a built-in modem on the motherboard, Windows may reinstall it the next time you start up. Consult your
computer’s documentation or call your computer’s manufacturer
to get instructions on how to disable the built-in modem.
The software cannot find the modem and the modem does
not respond to AT commands…
The most common error with modems is that the communications software is not configured for the same COM port as the
modem. Check which COM port the modem is using and ensure
Troubleshooting21
that the software’s COM port setting matches the modem’s COM
port setting.
Another problem is that COM port resources may be in use by
another device. Make sure that the COM port resources used by
the modem are not being used by any other device, such as a
sound card.
In terminal mode, be sure you type AT at the beginning of the
command line.
Be sure your modem is not in data mode when you type the
command. Use the escape character sequence to switch to terminal mode. (The default escape sequence is to wait at least one
second, type
+++
, and wait another second or more.)
If you typed a command but did not receive an OK response
from your modem: The E0 and Q1 commands may be in effect,
disabling echo and responses. Verify this with the &V command.
To enable echo and responses type
AT E1 Q0
and hit
Enter
.
You encounter communications problems with your modem…
Check that your communications software has been set up properly. Recheck the initialization string and dial string specified in
your software manual.
Memory-resident programs can cause a variety of problems. Try
starting up your computer without them. Programs that can
cause problems include antivirus programs and screen savers.
The modem speaker volume is too low or too high…
Your modem has a small speaker on its board that gives you
audible feedback of dial tones and remote connection signals
(“handshaking”). This is not the same as the speaker that you
may have connected to your sound card.
If the software allows you to control the volume of the on-board
speaker, make sure the speaker is enabled and set to a comfortable volume.
If the software does not have speaker settings, add one of the
AT
commands listed below to the initialization string:
22Modem User Guide
L1
L2
L3
M0
M1
for low volume
for medium volume
for highest volume
to turn the speaker off completely
to turn the speaker back on
For example, if you want the volume low and the software uses
the initialization string
AT &F
, change it to
AT &F L1
.
The modem does not automatically dial a call when you
send a Dial command…
Make sure the modem speaker is turned on in your software so
that you can hear dialing sounds. Also make sure that the phone
line is plugged in.
Make sure that you are dialing a valid phone number, including
any required dial prefixes.
If you are using tone dialing on a line that requires pulse dialing,
the line may not be able to accept tone-dialed calls. Select Pulse
dialing in your software or make sure software dialing prefix is
ATDP
(for pulse dialing).
Make sure your communications software and modem are configured for the same COM port.
Make sure your modem has hung up from the previous call. Select
Hang Up
in your software; or type
ATH
in terminal mode.
Your modem disconnects while communicating with a remote system…
The remote system has hung up. You need to reconnect.
The telephone line disrupted your call. If your telephone service
includes Call Waiting, turn it off if possible before making modem
calls.
Depending on your service, you may not be able to disable Call
Waiting for incoming calls. If your modem often receives data
calls and communications are frequently disrupted by Call Waiting, you should consider dropping the service or installing a
separate phone line without Call Waiting.
Troubleshooting23
Someone may be picking up an extension connected to the line
that your modem is using. If the modem is sharing a telephone
line with other telephones, inform the other users when you will
be making a data call.
Your modem does not make a connection…
If your modem places calls but never makes a connection, make
sure you are dialing the right number. The remote modem may
be turned off.
The modem can connect to some modems, but not to others…
A remote modem does not respond because of the extended negotiation process by which modems determine the best common
connection between them. If this is the case, you may have to
disable part or all of the negotiation process. In the following table, “protocol” means error correction and data compression.

Notes:
Some software allows these commands to be added to
the list of dial prefixes or the initialization string.
When the protocol is forced, the modem will not attempt
to connect at other protocols if it cannot connect at the
forced protocol. It will try to connect at the fastest speed
available within the forced protocol.
There are other configurations that can be forced as well. If you
need to select a particular configuration, use the AT command
strings shown below. You can always return to the modem’s default configuration by typing
AT &F
and pressing the
Enter
key.
Remember that if you do this, the modem will not have received
the commands in your software’s initialization string as it normally
would. Using the
ATZ
command overcomes this problem if you
have saved all your setup parameters in nonvolatile memory. (To

FCC 47CFR, Part 68 Statement
This equipment complies with 47CFR, Part 68 of the rules. The unit
bears a label which contains, among other information, the certification
number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN). If requested, this information must be provided to the telephone company.
This equipment uses the following standard jack types for network connection: RJ11C.
This equipment contains an FCC compliant modular jack. It is designed
to be connected to the telephone network or premises wiring using
compatible modular plugs and cabling which comply with the requirements of FCC Part 68 rules.
The Ringer Equivalence Number, or REN, is used to determine the
number of devices which may be connected to the telephone line. An
excessive REN may cause the equipment to not ring in response to an
incoming call. In most areas, the sum of the RENs of all equipment on a
line should not exceed five (5.0).
In the unlikely event that this equipment causes harm to the telephone
network, the telephone company can temporarily disconnect your service. The telephone company will try to warn you in advance of any such
disconnection, but if advance notice isn’t practical, it may disconnect
the service first and notify you as soon as possible afterwards. In the
event such a disconnection is deemed necessary, you will be advised
of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
From time to time, the telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, or operations which could affect the operation of this
equipment. If this occurs, the telephone company is required to provide
you with advance notice so you can make the modifications necessary
to obtain uninterrupted service.
There are no user serviceable components within this equipment.

computer or other electronic device to send any message via a telephone facsimile unless such message clearly contains, in a margin at
the top or bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page of the
transmission, the
business, other entity, or individual sending the message and the telephone number of the sending machine or of such business, other entity,
or individual. The telephone number provided may not be a 900 number
or any other number for which charges exceed local or long distance
transmission charges. Telephone facsimile machines manufactured on
date and time it is sent and an identification of the
28Modem User Guide
and after December 20, 1992, must clearly mark such identifying information on each transmitted message. Facsimile modem boards manufactured on and after December 13, 1995, must comply with the requirements of this section.
