Problem #1 - Autobaud Detection
Versions: Z02215 ROM Code 4508
Updated: July 17, 2000
Problem: Some character sequences other than AT
can cause the automatic detection of speed and parity
of characters from the terminal to fail, preventing
modem command input from the terminal. This is
expected to be a very rare occurr ence in embedded
environments where the comm unication between the
Z02215 and its host processor are carefully controlled.
Problem #2 - Parallel Phone Off-Hook
and Parallel Phone Pick-Up Detection
Versions: Z02215 ROM Code 4508
Updated: July 17, 2000
Problem: Off-hook and Pick-up detection do not
work properly.
Solution: None
Problem #3 - R ing Indicator (RI)
Versions: Z02215 ROM Code 50A5
Updated: July 17, 2000
Problem: After reset, the Z02215 RI
(active). This is incorrect. This may cause a host processor monitoring the R I
signal.
Solution: The state of the RI

Problem #4 - Parallel Phone Pick-Up
Detection
Versions: Z02215 ROM Code 50A5
Updated: July 17, 2000
Problem: When pick-up detection is enabled, the
Z02215 will detect itself taking the telephone offhook to dial or answer a call as a parallel extension
being taken off-hook. This results in the Z02215
immediately placing the telephone line back onhook.
Solution: If the Z02215 fails to respond to a modem
AT command, reset the Z02215.

ATH1, DT1234567
“H1” takes the telephone off-hook, “,” causes the Z02215 to wait the time in S-Register S8 (default 2 sec-
onds), and “DT1234567” causes the Z02215 to tone dial the number 1234567. Use S-Register S8 to
increase or decrease the delay before dialing.
Similarly, to answer the telephone, use
ATH1,A
Alternatively, design a pick-up detection circuit that does not respond for a sufficient period of time after
the Z02215 has taken the telephone off-hook.
Problem #5 - Unformatted Caller ID
Versions: Z02215 ROM Codes 4508 & 50A5
Updated: October 03, 2001
Problem: When unformatted caller ID option is used (AT#CID=0), the final octet of the caller ID packet
(the checksum octet) is not sent to the host.
Solution: No solution is possible. All data octets are passed onto the host as received but without the
checksum octet it is not possible to ensure the accuracy of the data packet. Use the formatted opt ion if possible.
