Multi-Tech Systems MT5634ZLX/FE manual Modem Does Not Connect with Another Modem

Your software settings may not match the settings of the remote device.

Make sure your data bits, stop bits, and parity settings match the settings that the other computer is using. The two most common settings are: 8 data bits, None parity, and 1 stop bit (8,N,1) or 7 data bits, Even parity, and 1 stop bit (7,E,1).

If the telephone line is very noisy, you may see corrupted data on your screen.

Due to poor telephone line conditions, the modem may have fallen back to a slower communication speed. You may need to change the baud rate setting in your software to match this slower speed. To return the modem to the higher speed, disconnect the link and re-establish again.
