Modem to 7206

djbradley · ‎10-29-2002

HELP!!! I have had quite a frustrating day today. I have four US robotics 33.6 external modems. Three are new and one is one from 1998. I can get the old modem to work connected to the AUX port of a 7206 just fine.

With the other three I am able to connect to the modem but I never get a password prompt. All four modems have the DIP switches set the same and I have checked the configuration with the ATI4 command. All modems match exactly. I am testing the modems on the same router wiht the same cable/connector so I am sure that the config on the AUX port is correct. Has anyone seen this issue before?

My only guess is that the newer modems have newer code such that, even with the same configs, things act differently. I would suggest that you decrease the speed between the modem and router to 9600 for starters, although if the speed were a problem you would likely see garbage on the line instead of silence. Also ensure that the router sees DCD/DSR go high, so that it can create an exec (you should see an asterisk next to the line when you dial in).
