RE: [WhatsUp Forum] cant get paging to work

[Morris, Scott]

Also, you may have to go into the modem and manually configura a few things.  One that I know of is to diable the fax.  This has caused us problems when communication with dumb devices, devics that are not conncted to Windows and Windows drivers at the other end.

I had a similar problem.  I ended up having to use an older, slower modem (I'm a packrat so still had a 33.6 modem laying around)  A faster 56k modem would not work.

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.

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.

Thanks in advance,
