Below are a number of examples of Problems (in bold text:), Causes (C:), and Solutions (S:). If your MT3410ZLX is not working properly, look up the problem and solution here; if unsuccessful, call Tech Support (see Chapter 5). At the end of this chapter is some specific steps for resolving IRQ and COM port conflicts.
C: Make sure the modem is not in Data Mode. Type +++ if necessary. C: Make sure your software is set to the same COMx port as your MT3410ZLX. The Modem Does Not Give a Response After an AT Command Was Executed C: The echo and/or responses may be turned off by the ATE0Q1 commands.
The Modem Does Not Auto-Answer the Phone C: If necessary, make sure the software is configured to auto-answer the phone. A: To set auto-answer mode on from AT command mode, type ATS0=n then press Enter. The n stands for which number of rings the modem answers.
MultiMobile Owner’s Manual No Text Appears on the Screen in Data Mode C: The remote modem is not echoing your typed characters. Type ATE0 then press Enter at the command line. Then turn the software echo feature on. C: Your software may not be set to use Full Duplex or the remote modem may not be set to use Full Duplex either.
The Modem Connects with Some Modems, but Not Others C : The remote modem may not support data compression or error correction, which might cause it to take too long to negotiate a link. You might try changing the way the modem negotiates by using the AT&Qn , ATNn , and ATS37=n commands.
MultiMobile Owner’s Manual The Modem Does Not Connect with Another Modem C: There may be a problem with the remote modem if you do not hear the high pitched tone from the remote modem. Run the Remote Digital Loopback Test ( &T4 command).
After Downloading a File, the File Does Not Store on Your Disk Drive If both modems are using MNP or V.42 protocol, then flow control may not be enabled. Configure your software to use RTS/CTS flow control to cause your computer to pause long enough for the file to be stored to disk.
C: Your computer does not have enough memory to map the attribute memory of your MT3410ZLX. If memory management software (e.g., EMM386) is installed, you must reserve an area in upper memory (C000:0 — EFFF:F) for MT3410ZLX attribute memory when enabling the card.
Reserve D000 - D3FF for attribute memory. C: No free I/O space or interrupt request can be assigned to the MT3410ZLX. The MT3410ZLX needs 32 contiguous I/O ports and one interrupt request for its LAN connection. It also need 8 contiguous I/O ports and another interrupt request for Fax/Modem.
MultiMobile Owner’s Manual Installing The Win 95 Driver Over SystemSoft CardWorks 1. Start Windows 95, then plug the MT3410ZLX into the PCMCIA slot. The SystemSoft Cardwizard window should appear. 2. Select the appropriate slot number containing the MT3410ZLX. 3. Select the View pull down menu 4.
The NetWare Driver Runs Successfully but Fails to Login to The NetWare Server C: The client Frame type is incompatiable with the server Frame type. The default frame type for Netware 3.11 and below is 802.3 but it changed to 802.2 in Netware 4.x and 3.12.
