The DataPort 2001 will work only if the cables are connected as
previously described. If the DataPort 2001 detects that the
cables have been connected incorrectly, it sends the message
PHONE MISWIRED or NO LINE CONNECTION to your
computer. If you receive one of these messages, turn off the
DataPort 2001. Connect the cables properly, then turn the
DataPort 2001 back on.
Testing Your Connections
The purpose of this section is to verify both the connection
between the DataPort 2001 and the computer, and the DataPort
2001 and the dial line.
Computer Connection Test
1. Turn your computer ON.
2. If you are using the QuickLink II Fax software supplied
with your DataPort 2001, install and start the software. If
you already have other software installed on your
system that you would rather use, go to Step 3.
Follow the installation and start-up procedures described in
the QuickLink II Fax support documentation. An overview
of QuickLink II Fax installation can be found later in
this chapter.
Your QuickLink II Fax software is configured for the
DataPort 2001, but its documentation describes the base
software. Do not be alarmed by discrepancies between the
two. For example, the QuickLink II Fax manual states that
the default DTE rate is 2400 bps; for the DataPort 2001 the
rate is actually19,200 bps.
3. Start your communications program.
Refer to your software’s documentation for start-up
procedures.
If you decide not to use the QuickLink II Fax software, then
select the DataPort 2001 driver that appears in your
software. If the DataPort driver is not available, then try the
suggestions listed in Appendix C.
