Chapter 5 - Troubleshooting

The Modem Doesn’t Work with Caller ID

Caller ID information is transmitted between the first and second rings, so if autoanswer is turned off (S0=0) or if the modem is set to answer after only one ring (S0=1), the modem will not receive Caller ID information. Check your initialization string, and if necessary change it to set the modem to answer after the second ring (S0=2).

Make sure that you have Caller ID service from your telephone company.

Fax and Data Software Can’t Run at the Same Time

Communications devices can be accessed by only one application at a time. In Windows 2003 and higher, you can have data and fax communication applications open at the same time, but they cannot use the same modem at the same time.
