During Data Transfers
If your screen displays random or garbage characters.
∙Make sure your communications port is set to connect at the maximum possible connect rate.
∙Set your software to the same word length, parity, and stop bits as the remote modem.
∙Peripherals (drivers for hardware and software) may be interfering with the transmission. Try disabling the extensions before you run your communications software.
∙The flow control settings for your software and modem may be different. Check to see that your software and the modem are set for the same kind of flow control, either hardware or software (hardware is recommended). Some communications programs also require that you disable the kind of flow control you are not using.
∙Load the template that enables hardware flow control as well as other optimal settings. Go into terminal mode (your communications software should let you switch to terminal mode) and:
1.Type AT&F1
2.And then press the ENTER key.
If the settings are the same, the problem may be with the phone line.
