modem dialin problem

Hi,

Hope you can help me with this, Im stuck.

I have a 2500 router with several external modems (US Robotics 56k) connected over asynch cables. the line config is setup to autocommand telnet to a backend server.

When I attempt to dial in, whichever modem answers, it seems to pick up the call, but then it drops almost immediately. The router log shows the same debug message each time:

Jun 18 14:40:20.691: tty1: Modem: HANGUP->IDLE

Hi,

On a similar occassion wherein I was trying to get Aux Port configured for Remote Dialin (for exec access and not for data) I tried almost 4 USR modems and everytime all the modems would get stuck at the handshake and never be able to complete the process.

However when I changed the modem to a simple make and model, it did work!

I guess its a problem with USR, have you ever tried with some other brand?

Kind Regards,

Wilson Samuel

It may be a problem with the dip switch setting in your USR modem.

Try setting dip switches 1, 3 & 8 down and other ones up or 3, 7 & 8 down and others up. I have used one of this settings effectively in the past.

Let us know if that helps.

Unfortunately this modem (USR 56k fax modem) seems to have no dip switches, not externally anyway. Unless there are dip switches inside the case on the main circuit board.

I will source another modem and try that.

thanks,
