4 Troubleshooting

The Modem Cannot Connect When Answering

Auto-answer may be disabled. Turn on auto-answer in your data communications program or send the command ATS0=1 to your modem in terminal mode.

File Transfer Appears Slower Than It Should Be

If you are using a slow transfer protocol, such as Xmodem or Kermit, try Zmodem or Ymodem/G instead.

Is your line noisy? If there is static on your line, the modem has to resend many blocks of data to insure accuracy. You must have a clean line for maximum speed.

Are you downloading a compressed file with MNP 5 hardware compression enabled? Since hardware data compression cannot compress a file already compressed by an archiving program, the transfer can be marginally slower with data compression enabled than with it disabled.

Data Is Being Lost

If you are using data compression, be sure the serial port baud rate is set to a minimum of four times the data rate.

Make sure the flow control method you selected in software matches the method selected in the modem. If you are using CompuServe’s WinCIM software, you must set the modem for XON/OFF flow control (see Chapter 4 for the CompuServe initialization string).

Try entering the &V (View Parameters) command, making a screen print of the diagnostics listing, and checking for parameters that may be unacceptable.
