The Modem Does Not Respond to Commands
The Modem Cannot Connect When Dialing
There can be several reasons the modem fails to make a connection. Possibilities include:
You can narrow the list of possibilities by using extended result codes. Extended result codes are enabled
by default. If they have been disabled, include V1X4 in the modem’s initialization string, or in terminal
mode enter ATV1X4 and press ENTER. When you dial again, the modem reports the call’s progress.

Make sure the modem is plugged in and turned on. (See “None of the Indicators Light.”)
Make sure you are issuing the modem commands from data communication software, either
manually in terminal mode or automatically by configuring the software.
Make sure you are in terminal mode in your data communication program, then type AT and
press E
problem likely is in the connection setup in your communication software.
Try resetting your modem by turning it off and on.
If you don’t get an OK, the problem may still be in the communication software. Make sure you
have done whatever is necessary in your software to make a port connection. Not all
communication programs connect to the COM port automatically. Some connect when the
software loads and remain connected until the program terminates. Others can disconnect
without exiting the program. The modem’s TR indicator lights to show that the software has taken
control of the modem through the COM port.
Your communication software settings may not match the physical port the modem is connected
to. The serial cable might be plugged into the wrong connector—check your computer documen-
tation to make sure. Or you might have selected a COM port in your software other than the one
the modem is physically connected to—compare the settings in your software to the physical
connection.
If the modem is on, the cable is plugged into the correct port, the communication software is
configured correctly, and you still don’t get an OK, the fault might be in the serial cable. Make
sure it is firmly connected at both ends.
Is this the first time you have used the cable? If so, it may not be wired correctly. Check the cable
description on the packaging to make sure the cable is the right one for your computer.
Peripheral expansion cards, such as sound and game cards, might include a serial port
preconfigured as COM1 or COM2. The extra serial port, or the card itself, may use the same
COM port, memory address, or interrupt request (IRQ) as your communication port. Be sure to
disable any unused ports.
The serial port might be defective. If you have another serial port, install the modem on it, change
the COM port setting in your software, and try again.
The modem might have a problem beyond the scope of this user guide. If you have another Multi-
Tech modem, try swapping modems. If the problem goes away, call Technical Support.
Lack of a physical connection to the telephone line.
A wrong dial tone.
A busy signal.
A wrong number.
No modem at the other end.
A faulty modem, computer, or software at the other end.
Incompatibility between modems.
If the modem reports NO DIALTONE, check that the modem’s telephone line cable is connected
to both the modem’s LINE jack (not the PHONE jack) and the telephone wall jack. If the cable
looks secure, try replacing it. If that doesn’t work, the problem might be in your building’s
telephone installation. To test the building installation, plug a telephone into your modem’s
telephone wall jack and listen for a dial tone.
