Troubleshooting in Modem Communication
When a start internal relay is turned on, the data of D8211/D8311 (modem mode status) changes, but the modem
does not work.
Cause:
A wrong cable is used or wiring is incorrect.
Solution:
Use the modem cable 1C (FC2A-KM1C).
The DTR or ER indicator on the modem does not turn on.
Cause:
A wrong cable is used or wiring is incorrect.
Solution:
Use the modem cable 1C (FC2A-KM1C).
When a start internal relay is turned on, the data of D8211/D8311 (modem mode status) does not change.
Cause 1:
D8200/D8300 does not store 1 and the modem mode is not enabled.
Solution 1: Store 1 to D8200 or D8300 when using RS232C port 1 or port 2, respectively.
Cause 2:
Communication selector DIP switch setting is wrong and the modem mode is not enabled.
Solution 2: Set communication selector DIP switch 2 or 3 to ON when using RS232C port 1 or port 2, respectively
