Data Transfer Problems

Problem

You can make a data connection with a remote modem, but encounter frequent errors during data transfers.

Solutions

1.Your modem and communications software may be configured for different flow control methods. Be sure your modem and software are both using hardware (RTS/CTS) flow control or software (XON/XOFF) flow control.

2.To verify that your modem and communications software are using the same flow control method, type AT&T8 and press the Enter key with your modem in the command state. You should see a smooth “stair-stepping” ASCII test pattern flowing diagonally across your screen.

Connect Problems

Problem

Your modem disconnects while communicating with a remote system.

Solutions

1.The remote system may have hung up. Type ATI2 and press Enter to view the link status report, which will include the reason for the disconnect. For information on understanding this report, refer to your ZyXEL Modem Reference Manual.

2.You may have subscribed to Call Waiting and received an incoming call that interrupted your data connection. See your telephone directory for information on disabling Call Waiting.
