USR not displaying RING message

Post by mattj »

Hi!

I have a USR Courier V.Everything modem hooked up to my com port. I'm able to dial out to another BBS successfully. But when there is an incoming call, the modem does not output the word RING. The "AA" light flashes so it's recognizing the line is ringing.

I reset the DIP switches back to factory default settings per the USR documentation. Tried some ATXx commands with no help.

Any thoughts?

Thanks much.

Hi again, I figured it out. I have to do a AT&F0 to get the real default settings and then it works properly.

These modems I bought I think we're used on a leased line or something because everything about them has not been default! (dip switches, etc)

Thanks for listening. :)
