I Am Getting Garbage Characters On The Monitor; My Fax And Communications Software Won't Run At The Same Time - Multitech MT1932ZDX Quick Reference Manual

MT1932ZDX Quick Reference Guide

I Am Getting Garbage Characters on the Monitor

• Your computer and the remote computer may be set to different word
lengths, stop bits, or parities. If you have connected at 8-N-1, try
changing to 7-E-1, or vice-versa, using your communications software.
• You may be experiencing line noise. Enable error correction, if it is
disabled, or hang up and call again; you may get a better connection.
• At speeds above 2400 bps, the remote modem might not use the
same transmission or error correction standards as your modem. Try
connecting at a slower speed or disabling error correction. (With no
error correction, however, line noise can cause garbage characters.)
•
Try entering the L8 (List Online Diagnostics) command in online
mode, making a screen print of the diagnostics listing, and checking
for parameters that may be unacceptable (number of retrains, round
trip delay, etc.).
My Fax and Communications Software Won't Run at the
Same Time
Communications devices can be accessed by only one application at a
time. Under DOS or Windows 3.1x, you can run either your fax software or
your datacomm software, but not both at the same time. In Windows 95,
you can have data and fax communication applications open at the same
time, but they cannot use the same modem at the same time.
