until the program terminates. Some programscan disconnect without exiting the program. Ifthis is the
case, try issuing the software’s connection command. If more than one communications program is
open, they may conflict with each other. Make sure all other communications programs are closed and
try to make the connection again.
• If using legacy software, the COM port setting may not match the COM port that Windows assigned.
Compare the COM port setting in your software to the COM port reported in Windows. To view

• Another expansion card (such as a sound card) may be using the same COM port, memory address,
or interrupt request (IRQ) as your modem. See Determine System Resources in Chapter 2 for
information on verifying the configuration for your operating system. Look for conflicts with other
devices installed on your computer. Resources are assigned at power up by the computer’s BIOS. If
the resources assigned to the MultiModem ZPX conflict with the resources of another device, the
resources of the second device have to be changed. Select the port the conflicting device is on and
change it to resolve the conflict. If you need to change switches or jumpers on the conflicting device,
refer to the device’s documentation.
• If you have another MultiModem ZPX, install it and try to make a connection.
The modem dials but cannot make a connection
Reasons why the MultiModem ZPX fails to make a connection include:
• Lack of a physical connection to the telephone line.
• A wrong dial tone.
• A busy signal.
• A wrong number.
• No modem at the other end.
• A faulty modem, computer, or software at the other end.
• Incompatibility between modems.
Narrow the list of possibilities by using extended result codes. If you disabled the modem’s extended
result codes, enable them by typing ATV1X4 in a terminal window and pressing Enter. When you dial
again, the modem reports the call’s progress.
• If the modem reports NO DIALTONE, check that the modem’s telephone line cable is
connected to the modem’s jack and the telephone wall jack. If the cable looks secure, try replacing
it.
If the problempersists, checkthe building’stelephone installation.Totest the buildinginstallation, plug
a telephone into the modem’s telephone wall jack and listen for a dial tone. If you hear a dial tone,
your modem may be installed behinda company phonesystem (PBX) withan internal dial tonethat
sounds different from the normal dial tone. In that case, the modem may not recognize the dial tone
and may treat it as an error. Check with your in-house telephone switch (PBX) personnel or the PBX
