Solving Common Problems

Note: If your modem is not working, please read this

chapter and Chapter 2: Using the Faxmodem on
page 12 carefully.

For installation problems, refer to Chapter 1: Setting Up

Your USB Faxmodem on page 6.

This chapter covers three categories: general trouble-
shooting, dial troubleshooting, and on-line troubleshoot-
ing.

General Troubleshooting

Problem: The software cannot find the modem and the

modem does not respond to AT commands.

(The following solution applies to many

other problems as well.)

Solution

:

The most common problem with modems is
that the communications software is not con-
figured for the same COM port as the modem or
that the USB faxmodem is not selected under
the software.

If you have a PC, check which COM port the
modem is using and make sure that the soft-
ware’s COM port setting matches the modem’s
COM port setting. From the Windows Toolbar,
under Settings/Control

Panel/Modems/Diagnostics, click on the COM

Port for your modem, then click on More info.
If Windows displays the modem’s ATI re-
sponses, the modem is working.

If you have a Mac, make sure that the USB
faxmodem is selected under Settings in the
application software.

Problem

:

The modem speaker volume is too low or too

high.
