- Help with the ONLINE/OFFLINE indicator being stuck
-
-
- Problem: When I start up Qmodem, the Online/Offline indicator in the
- status line always says ONLINE? Why?
-
- Answer : The modem is sending a signal back to Qmodem saying that it
- is connected to another computer. On Hayes 2400 modems and
- clones that use the '&' (ampersand) extended commands, there
- is usually a command that controls the CD (carrier detect)
- signal. The default mode (unfortunately) is for the CD to
- be on all the time. This makes Qmodem think it is ONLINE.
- To make things right, send the following command to your
- modem:
- AT&C1
-
- You will have to check your modem manual to verify this
- command in case it is not quite 100% Hayes compatible.
-
- Modems this is know to cure:
-
- Hayes 2400 (Internal/External)
-
- Some modems, as in the case of the Courier HST from
- USRobotics has a switch which by default has Carrier forced
- true. Switch number 6 is DOWN from the factory and must be
- set to UP to work correctly. Running the HST15.SCR will
- bring this fact to light.
