Troubleshooting If the Modem Dials Incorrectly ■ Check the telephone number you entered, including any digits required for outside access or long distance. ■ In Control Panel, open Phone and Modem Options. Check the dialing options-look for duplicate digits for outside access or long distance. ■ Make sure the number you are calling is not busy. ■ If you are in a foreign country, the dial tone may not be recognized by the modem. In Control Panel, open Phone and Modem Options. Try disabling the option that waits for a dial tone. ■ If you have call-waiting, disable it. Your telephone company can provide instructions. If the Modem Dials, But Does Not Connect ■ Make sure you are using an analog telephone line (2, 3, or 4 wires). You must not use a digital line. In a hotel, ask for a data line. ■ Try another telephone line, preferably one normally used for a fax machine or modem. ■ The modem at the other end may have a problem. Try dialing to a different modem. If the Modem Is Not Detected ■ Check the modem setup. In Control Panel, open Phone and Modem Options. Check the COM port. ■ Open the hardware Device Manager. Select Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > System. If the modem is disabled, try to enable it. If it has a conflict, try disabling another device. ■ If you are running fax software using fax Class 2, try using Class 1. Reference Guide 6-11
