If you must dial
9 to get an outside line, the easiest way to dial it
automatically using legacy software is to include it in the modem’s
dial prefix, e.g., ATDT9,. Note the comma, which inserts a pause
before the number is dialed. For example, to change the dial prefix
in MultiExpress Terminal, select Setup, Modem; then select the
modem type you are using and type the new prefix in the Dial
Prefix box. To change it for Windows 95 software, select Start,
Settings, Control Panel, Modems. In the Modems Properties sheet,
select the Multi-Tech MT2834ZPW, click Dialing Properties, and
type 9 in the local and long distance boxes in the “How I dial from
this location” box.
• If the modem reports NO ANSWER, the other system has failed to
answer, or you might have dialed a wrong number. Check the
number.
• If the modem reports
NO CARRIER, the phone was answered at
the other end, but no connection was made. You might have dialed
a wrong number, and a person answered instead of a computer, or
you might have dialed the correct number but the other computer or
software was turned off or faulty. Check the number and try again,
or try calling another system to make sure your modem is working.
Also, try calling the number on your telephone. If you hear harsh
sounds, then another modem is answering the call, and the
modems may be having problems negotiating because of modem
incompatibilities or line noise. Try connecting at a lower speed by
setting register S37 to a lower rate (e.g., by typing ATS37=11 in the
terminal window and pressing ENTER) and then calling again.
