Modem Blaster/Phone Blaster Return An Error Of "No Dialtone" But
You Can Hear It Dialling
Problem:
When you attempt to dial out with your modem, you could hear your Modem
Blaster/Phone Blaster dailling but the modem returns a "No Dialtone"
error message on your screen.
Solution:
- The dailling tone that you heard may not be a true dailing tone. It may be
either a wrong pitch, not loud enough or too loud. Use the &quo;tATX0"
command before you dial. The "ATX0" command will force the modem not
to detect the dial tone and report basic call progress results codes such as
OK, CONNECT, RING, NO CARRIER, NO ANSWER and ERROR.
- Check the phone cord if it is "straight through" meaning not
crossed wired.
- Unplug all equipment plugged into the modem or on the same line as the
modem such as answering or fax machine.
