Are You Still Having Problems?

If You Need to Return the Modem to U.S. Robotics for Repair

External Serial 
Modems

Basic Troubleshooting

Steps

1. 

Is your modem turned on? When your modem is properly connected 

to power and is turned on, the CS light on the front panel will be on.

2. 

Is your power supply connected properly to both your modem and an 

electrical outlet? If it is, check the outlet with another electric device (like 
a lamp) to be sure that you are getting power. Also, use the power supply 
that came with your modem; other similar-looking power supplies may 
be of different voltages and could damage your modem.

3.

 Are you using the proper cable to connect your modem to your 

computer? Make sure you are using an RS-232 modem cable. Check the 
packaging of the cable you bought. There are many computer cables that 
look similar to an RS-232, such as a Null Modem cable, that will not work
