  • Page 7: Why Doesn't My Comstar Svd On Com4 Work In Windows 3.1

    Why doesn’t my ComStar SVD on COM4 work in Windows 3.1? Problem 1: Your modem could be conflicting with the serial port on COM2. Note that COM2 and COM4 both use IRQ3 by default, (Windows 3.1, and 3.11 only; Windows 95 handles this differently). Solution: We strongly recommend you use the SETPORT utility to assign a different IRQ to your modem.
  • Page 8: What Do I Do If I Receive A No Dialtone Message

    What do I do if I receive a NO DIALTONE message? If you receive a NO DIALTONE message when trying to dial out, you may have a problem with your actual phone line con- nection.

  • Page 9: Why Doesn't My V.34 Modem Always Connect At 33,600 Bps

    Why doesn’t my V.34 modem always connect at 33,600 bps? NOTE: In order to make a 33.6k connection, both parties must have modems capable of supporting speeds as high as 33,600 bps. Your ComStar SVD modem supports the 33,600 bps speed. One of the largest factors which prohibit high speed modems from connecting at their fastest speeds is line noise.
  • Page 10: Is My Comstar Svd Tapi Compliant

    Unimodem V, as well as the Serial Wave Driver (which are the TAPI components) are available for the ComStar SVD and can be found on the ZOOM LINK CD (that ships with the ComStar SVD ) in the UNIMODEM directory.

    Why are my voice mail messages cut off in BitWare? NOTE: The current version of BitWare that ships with the ComStar SVD eliminates this problem. In the event that you already had a previous version of BitWare installed, and do not wish to update your software, the following solution is for you.
  • Page 12: How Do I Change The Volume In Bitphone

    How do I change the volume in BitPhone? BitPhone is an application included with Cheyenne BitWare. It takes advantage of the speakerphone capabilities of your ComStar SVD modem. If the person you are speaking with has trouble hearing you, you can adjust your microphone sensitivity.
  • Page 13: My Voice Messages Are Very Quiet (Or Loud)

    My voice messages are very quiet (or loud). How can I make them louder (or quieter)? In most voice software such as BitVoice, there is a playback and/or record level setting. In BitWare, this is under the VOICE SYSTEM SETUP. Settings higher then 199 are usually not necessary. If you are using a speaker other than the one supplied with your ComStar SVD , you may need to change the speaker jumper settings on the modem itself to adjust for the new speaker.
  • Page 14: Can I Receive Faxes With My Computer Turned Off

    Can I receive faxes with my computer turned off? No, in order to receive faxes, your computer must be turned on and your fax software/driver loaded. Your internal ComStar modem is turned on when your computer is on. You can leave your computer running but just turn off its monitor to conserve energy.
