For more troubleshooting help, review these common issues:

My computer isn’t recognizing my modem.

Possible solution:

You may be using an IRQ that is already in use. To function properly, your modem needs to be assigned to a free IRQ.

The Plug and Play function of Windows should locate a free IRQ (if one exists) for your modem. If Plug and Play fails to install the modem, you need to determine IRQ availability.

Windows XP and 2000: Right-click the My Computer icon on your desktop.

Click Properties. Click the Hardware tab and then click Device Manager. Click View. Select Resources by type or Resources by connection. Expand the Interrupt request (IRQ) key by clicking + or double-clicking the Interrupt request (IRQ) key.

Windows Me, 98, and 95: Right-click the My Computer icon on your

desktop. Click Properties and then the Device Manager tab. Double-click the Computer icon at the top of the device list.

You will see a listing of your system’s IRQs and the devices to which they are assigned. If an IRQ is not present in this list, it indicates that Windows is not currently using it and the IRQ is considered available.

Locate your modem in the list of devices. If a yellow exclamation point appears over the modem’s description, your modem is in conflict with another device. Either your modem or the other device will have to be reinstalled to another IRQ in order to resolve your conflict.

If a usable, free IRQ does not exist, you may need to remove, disable, or relocate another device. Refer to that device’s documentation for more information about removing, disabling, or relocating it.

If Windows still fails to recognize your modem and it does not have a yellow exclamation point next to its IRQ, or if your modem does not appear in the list, your modem may not be installed properly. Try reinstalling your modem.

Possible solution:

You may be using a COM port that is either already in use or not configured correctly. To work properly, this modem must be assigned to a free COM port. Make sure that your COM port is not already in use by another device.

Windows XP (Classic View): Click Windows Start and then Control Panel.

Possible solution:

Your communications software may not function properly if you have more than one version of the software installed, you are using an older version, or you have more than one communications application installed on your system. We highly recommend using the communications software provided with your modem on the Installation CD-ROM.

My modem is responding but is reporting a No Dial Tone message.

Possible solution:

Your phone cord may not be plugged into the modem’s XJACK connector. Also make sure the other end of the phone cord is plugged into a working telephone wall jack.

Possible solution:

You may have devices between the modem and telephone wall jack that affect the quality of your phone line. Do not connect other devices between the telephone wall jack and your modem.

Possible solution:

You may have plugged your modem’s phone cord into a digital line, which can damage your modem. If you are unsure whether your line is analog or digital, ask your network administrator, building management, or your local telephone company.

Possible solution:

If your phone system requires dialing a digit such as “9” in order to access an outside line, be sure to add the digit and a comma (9,) before the number you want to dial.

Possible solution:

If you have voice mail provided by your phone company, your dial tone may be altered when messages are waiting. Retrieve your voice mail to restore a normal dial tone.

Note: If you are unable to retrieve the messages, you may want to add

five commas to the beginning of the number to be dialed. Each comma represents two seconds. Therefore, adding five commas will delay the modem connection attempt by 10 seconds. Since each ISP connection may vary, you should insert as many commas as necessary to meet your specific needs. Commas may be necessary if voice mail messages have not been deleted before attempting to establish an Internet connection.

Possible solution:

You may have a bad phone cord. Try a different phone cord. We recommend using the phone cord included with the modem, if possible.

Possible solution:

You may have a non-standard dial tone. Do the following to check for a nonstandard dial tone:

1. Open a terminal program, such as HyperTerminal, in Windows. To open

the Terminal window, select Cancel at the new connection dialog box.

11

2. Type ATE1 and press ENTER. You may not see the letters, which is fine.

3. Type ATX3DT and the phone number of a local ISP (Internet Service

Provider) or BBS number. Press ENTER.

4. If the modem dials out and connects, either have your phone line

checked or try adding X3 to the Extra Settings field in your modem’s Properties window.

5. If the modem doesn't attempt to connect and it comes back with a No

Carrier message, the issue may not be phone line related.

6. To end your HyperTerminal session, click File and select Exit. Select

Yes when the Are you sure you want to disconnect? message appears. Select No when the Do you want to save this session? message appears.

My modem won’t dial out or doesn’t answer incoming calls.

Possible solution:

Your phone cord may not be plugged into the modem. Also make sure the other end of the phone cord is plugged into a working telephone wall jack.

Possible solution:

You may have a bad phone cord. Try a different phone cord. We recommend using the phone cord included with the modem, if possible.

Possible solution:

You may have devices between the modem and telephone wall jack that affect the quality of your phone line. Do not connect other devices between the telephone wall jack and your modem.

Office Users

Possible solution:

You may have plugged your modem’s phone cord into a digital line, which can damage your modem. If you are unsure whether your line is analog or digital, ask your network administrator, building management, or your local telephone company.

Possible solution:

If your phone system requires dialing a digit such as “9” in order to access an outside line, be sure to add the digit and a comma (9,) before the number you want to dial.

Voice Mail Users

Possible solution:

If you have voice mail provided by your phone company, your dial tone may be altered when messages are waiting. Retrieve your voice mail to restore a normal dial tone.

Note: If you are unable to retrieve the messages, you may want to add

five commas to the beginning of the number to be dialed. Each comma represents two seconds. Therefore, adding five commas will delay the modem connection attempt by 10 seconds. Since each ISP connection may vary, you should insert as many commas as necessary to meet your specific needs. Commas may be necessary if voice mail messages have not been deleted before attempting to establish an Internet connection.

My modem sounds like it’s trying to connect to another modem but fails.

Possible solution:

You may have a poor connection. All calls are routed differently, so try placing the call again.

My modem isn’t achieving a 56K Internet connection.

Possible solution:

Our research has shown that the vast majority of telephone lines can and do support V.90 connections. The V.90 protocol allows for connection speeds of up to 56K, but line conditions may affect the actual speeds during a given connection. Due to unusual telephone line configurations, some users will not be able to take full advantage of V.90 technology at this time. To achieve a V.90 connection, the following conditions must be met:

• The server you are dialing into must support and provide a digital V.90

signal. Your ISP can provide you with a list of dial-up connections and information on what those connections currently support.

• The telephone line between your ISP and your modem must be

capable of supporting a 56K connection and contain only one analogto-digital conversion. The 56K signal from your ISP begins as a digital signal. Somewhere between the ISP and your modem, there will be a digital-to-analog signal conversion so that your modem can receive the data. There must be no more than one analog-to-digital signal conversion in the path from your ISP to your modem. If more than one such conversion occurs, your connection speeds will default to V.34+ or below. There may also be impairments on the local lines between your ISP and your modem. These impairments can prevent or limit connection speeds. All telephone calls are routed differently, so you should try making your 56K connection several times. One way to test this is to dial into a long distance location. Long distance lines are often much clearer than local lines. It is important to note that telephone companies are constantly upgrading their systems. Lines that do not support 56K today may support 56K in the near future.

13

• For a V.90 connection, your modem must be connecting to a V.90/56K

server. A pair of 56K modems will not connect to each other at V.90/ 56K speeds.
