RE: [WhatsUp Forum] cant get paging to work

[Burks, Jon]

This may sound dumb, but I ran into the same problem using my USR External 56 Fax/Modem. In the debug log, there was no carrier detected, even though I could hear the modem attempting the handshake.   Believe it our not, the modem was mislabeled. I had the RJ11 cable connected to the plug outlet that had the wall jack logo. Just as a test (I assumed that the mfg. cross wired the pair), so I plugged it into the outlet with the phone handset, and it worked.   Amazing, but true.     -----Original Message----- From: Tonya Spurlock [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 17, 2003 10:54 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [WhatsUp Forum] cant get paging to work I have looked in the kb and on this forum and as of yet I haven’t been able to find anything that helped...  I am trying to setup my paging, however when I enter in all of my information and hit test I get the following error “no carrier”.  I hear the modem dial out and pick up but then “no carrier” and I get a pop up saying “pager failed.”  I have tried commas in behind the number it too was unsuccessful.  Here are the settings I am currently using:   Display name:  Test Terminal number:  “the number I received from my paging service” which is metrocall Terminal password:  “this isn’t needed” Pager ID;   “ I entered in my pager number here” Message string;  “using default” Protocol:  TAP—“confirmed with my pager service Modem Initialization string:  “using default” Baud Rate:  2400 COM Port: COM 1 8N1 is NOT checked   I am currently using brand new  US Robotics 56k faxmodem.    Any and all suggestions would be very helpful.
