Testing Your Modem
If the modem is correctly connected, you will hear a dial tone
as the modem goes off-hook, and then the tones of the
modem dialing the telephone number. (On the external
modem, the OH (off-hook) light turns ON.)
The modem then hangs up and displays an OK. (The OH
light turns Off.)
This brief test indicates that your modem is correctly
connected to the telephone line. If you would like to register
on the AT&T Paradyne BBS, proceed to Step 2.
If you do not hear a dial tone, make sure the telephone cord
is connected to both the modem and the telephone wall
outlet. Otherwise, refer to Chapter 6, Troubleshooting .
2. Dial the AT&T Paradyne BBS and log on as a new user.
TYPE:
PRESS: Enter
At this point, you hear the modem go off-hook, dial the
telephone number, and connect with another modem.
Next, a series of high-pitched tones can be heard as the two
modems determine how to transfer data, at what speed, and
whether to use error control.
When this handshaking process is complete, a CONNECT
message appears on your screen.
3. Enter your name and any other requested information
as you are prompted for it.
You are now logged on to the AT&T Paradyne BBS. If you
wish, you can scan the BBS for documentation updates and
general information about your DataPort PCX modem and
other dial modem products offered by AT&T.
