Quick Start and Reference Guide

“Normal” operation (The faxmodem commu-

nicates without any error correction or data

compression, but retains speed buffering

and auto-speed negotiation. It should not be

confused with the “standard” configuration.)

AT \N0

AT S0=1

Problem: Your online service reports a connect speed

that doesn’t match your modem’s speed.

Solution: To get your online service software to report the

actual connect speed, add W2 to the end of the
initialization string, or to the dial prefix, just
before the D, as in these examples:

Initialization string: AT&F&C1&D2W2
Dial prefix: ATW2D

Consult your online service’s documentation for
details on initialization strings and dial pre-
fixes. Actual connect speeds depend on your
modem’s speed, the equipment you’re con-
necting to, and phone line conditions.

Problem: Your modem disconnects while communicat-

ing with a remote system.

Solution: The remote system has hung up.

The telephone line disrupted your call. If your
telephone service includes Call Waiting, turn it
off if possible before making modem calls. Ask
your telephone company if you can temporarily
disable Call Waiting by pressing *70 (tone di-
aling) or dialing 1170 (pulse dialing). If so, in-
clude *70, (the comma is part of the code) for
tone dialing or 1170, for pulse dialing as a pre-
fix with the telephone numbers in the soft-
ware’s dialing directory. Or you can add the
code to the dial string or initialization string in
the software’s setup. Be sure to include the
comma. Note: This helps with outgoing but not
incoming calls.
