Have you used a rolled cable as described?

This is required to connect the RX and TX leads properly.

From your description, it looks as if you have a straight cable.

Best is to test first with a terminal or datatester to check the V24 interface.

regards,

Leo

Leo, I am using rolled cable only.I am not Suspecting the problem with the Router configuration.Expecting some modem configuration.If any one using USRobotics modem pls share the modem init string which is working.

You should not need the initialization string. Make sure you have the correct cable (usually marked 'modem' on the DB25 end). Also make sure you dial and connect to the modem at baud rate 9600 with 8/None/1.

Hello! Are you on the AUX or the Console port with the modem? What speed is the port to which the modem is attached?

A few quirks to be aware of:

- The speed of the modem interface has to match the speed of the serial interface of the router. If you send AT commands to the modem from a PC, the modem will lock to the speed of the interface of the PC - so when you move it, it may not re-adapt. The best way to configure the modem is by reverse telnet (if it is on AUX) because that assures that the speed is matched.

- The flowcontrol has to match the port. The console port does may assert "ready" signals, best to check with a breakout box - but if you can disable flowcontrol that is a good check.

Are there any lights on the modem? Does the DTR light up when you plug in the cable to the console port?

Hello,

I am stuck in same situtation. Can you please share the config? And let me know how you fixed it?

Thanks
