    Introduction Your MultiModemZDX modem was thoroughly tested at the factory be- fore it was shipped. If you are unable to make a successful connection, or if you experience data loss or garbled characters during your connec- tion, it is possible that the modem is defective. However, it is more likely that the source of your problem lies elsewhere.
  • Page 72: The Modem Does Not Respond To Commands

    Test that the outlet is live by plugging a lamp into it. The modem or power supply may be defective. If you have another Multi-Tech modem, try swapping modems. If the problem goes away, the first modem or power supply may be defective. Call Technical Support for assistance.
  • Page 73 tialization string includes &F as the first command, to cancel any “leftover’ command that could affect the modem’s operation. If you don’t get an OK , the problem may still be in the communica- tion program. Make sure you have done whatever is necessary in your software to make a port connection.

  • Page 75: The Modem Dials But Cannot Connect

    The modem might be defective. If you have another Multi-Tech mo- dem, try swapping modems. If the problem goes away, the first modem is possibly defective. Call Technical Support for assistance (see Appendix C). The Modem Dials But Cannot Connect There can be several reasons the ZDX fails to make a connection.

Check the PBX manual to see if you can change the internal dial tone; if you can’t, change your modem’s initializa- tion string to replace X4 with X3, which will cause the modem to ignore dial tones.
  • Page 77: The Modem Disconnects While Online

    The Modem Disconnects While Online If you have Call Waiting on the same line as your modem, it can interrupt your connection each time someone tries to call you. If you have Call Waiting, disable it before each call. In most tele- phone areas in North America, you can disable Call Waiting by preceding the telephone number with *70 (check with your local telephone company).

    File Transfer Is Slower Than It Should Be You might have an older UART. For best throughput, install a 16550AFN UART or a Multi-Tech ISI serial port card. See the “Quick Start” chapter for information on how to identify your UART.
  • Page 79: Data Is Being Lost

    Data Is Being Lost If you are using data compression and a high speed serial port, set the serial port baud rate to four times the data rate. Your UART might not be reliable at serial port speeds over 9600 bps or 19,200 bps.
